Default OT: Helsinki Motor show

We were yesterday at Helsinki international Motor Show with two of my sons. Here couple of pictures:

The new Targa was a favorite of Peter & Arno


This was my favorite



Audi showed couple of interesting cars



Fiat, sorry Ferrari, had carbon rotors, but why on earth they still use that stone age rear caliper, which Porsche had not used in years

Nice!
As you say, why would Ferrari put a non mono-block caliper on a car like that!?

Two piece calipers clamp down more with better results than a mono bloc aluminum one. Go to Stop-Tec's website and read up on it, they're ugly but perform much better under hard braking and track usage.

If you're talking to me pal, I know all about Stop-Techs already. Been there, done that research months and months ago. Even before you were here, there was a vendor, who I think is gone, was pushing the hell out of them too.

Olli: Nice pics, hope you guys had a great time too.
