august Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Does anyone know or remember the distance / time it took a 505 equipped with ABS to stop from 60-0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bean Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'm guessing that Mike Tippet would have that info - my Road & Track on Peugeot didn't test the ABS cars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august Posted September 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 where is mike tippet! I know he was posting in the beginning, but.. !?!? mike? hello? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 The first place that I checked was the 505 showroom brochure that I got from Mike via ebay- the one with auggy's avatar. It did say 7.9 sec 0-60. That might be government. Did pugnut ever post any numbers? Nope, can't find it. It sure doesn't sound like a fun test. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JunktionFET Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 A Canadian publication I once saw at a nearby public library had 60-0 measured in 129 feet (or 126, I dont remember for sure) for an '89 505 Turbo 5 speed. I don't recall ever seeing data from other sources besides Peugeot themselves. An owner's manual supplement leaflet that came with each car stated the 60-0 distance as 143 feet. Given that Peugeot has often demonstrated how it likes to publish conservative (with a lower-case "c") numbers, I'd believe 129 feet, and even 126 for that matter. This same Canadian book listed the 60-0 time as 2.9x seconds. The author seemed rather impressed with the stopping ability of the car, and I'm sure anyone here with an ABS Turbo will concur... The car can suck at everything else, but it does stop exceptionally well. Some of the other data in the book was a bit off. For example, he listed the observed top speed as 121 MPH, blaming poor aerodynamics. He listed the '89 Turbo sedan as being something like 0.38 or 0.39, which was a few clicks more than the GIANT bumper version the year before. That body kit, while inducing drag, does seem to do quite a bit for high speed stability though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hmm I just got back from Europe 16 hours ago. Went to Sochaux for the museum (a disappointment) and for old parts (closed, a double disappointment). I'll see what I can find and let you know. Saw a 505 Dangel on the road in Sochaux BTW, mint (too fast for me, no photos). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webmaster Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 The 505 does have exceptional braking! Here are some figures i've got together: Ferrari Enzo: 60-0 = 109ft BMW M3: 60-0 = 113ft 2006 Corvette: 60-0 = 115ft Peugeot 505: 60-0 = 126ft Mclaren F1: 60-0 = 127ft Acura NSX: 60-0 = 128ft It's honestly hard to believe. Someone should do some checks so we have some real world figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 yeah that is a little hard to believe.. i think we have to do some testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunktionFET Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'll tell you one thing for sure--the cars with ABS stop a lot better than the others. On the same note, the cars with vented rotors stop a crapload better than the ones without. Don't get me wrong, the non-vented 505s have very competent brakes, but I don't think they can compare to the vented variety, and certainly not the ABS versions.

Johnny Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Did anyone ever do any braking-tests? I actually don't think that 129ft is far away from the thruth. (that said without even driving one ) I've read the number 179ft for 70-0. I did some math on that number, and it gave the acceleration -0.91G. I made the simplification that the acceleration is the same for 60-0, and worked out the distance 132ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
