I tried to do the same with my enzo..(braking from 200 mph to almost 0 but they didnt glow as much).
 
The Brakes on the SpecV are pretty strong and I braked on time, unlike the other GT-R, So not as much Heat. I'm wondering why I have the Brake Balance Controller on 5/5 and the front is being used more.

Uhh, because you're going forward at a high speed, you have tons of forward momentum. Why wouldn't the front be used more?

My Gallardo stock settings does the opposite though :confused:

But maybe it's because the backs lower than the front

Will post pics soon as I can, though my gallardo now has been tuned. Break bias is same, but car has been lowered.

The front brakes usually glow more because under braking the weight of the car shifts towards the front, so it has more mass to stop than the rear. I have yet to see the rear glow more under heavy braking.. please do post a pic ^^

Yes I know about weight shifting, but maybe this is a GT5 thing :confused:

Anyway here's my Gallardo 5/5 brake bias

Hmmm.. that is quite strange.. x)
The only thing i could think of is maybe the rear and front disk materials are different?

Your NSX pics are great btw!

Thanks, yeah they could be, though it could be the result of tuning. I'll buy a stock one again and try it out later.
 
Great pics of the Ferrari!

Not a photographer here and haven't had much time to play with taking photos yet. Whats the trick/settings to get that sense of speed with the wheels spinning etc when you are setting up for a shot?

Set the camera to panning mode 2 or 3, which makes the camera "attached" to the car, allowing you to lower the shutter speed and still have the car in focus.

Edit: NEVERMIND, didn't realize I was only reading the first page out of three. :P

Why? Did you forget GT5 has no brake upgrade option? Whatever brakes were stock are still the same after any tuning upgrade.
