azca Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Was going 75mph on the freeway today, about a foot or 2 from a new M3. All of the sudden the dude in a new M3 slammed his brakes; I slammed mine immediatelly. We both went to a complete stop in no more than a second I would say. I swirved out of the lane and accelerated and kept driving; the fool kept sitting there in the left lane of the freeway... I have an LGT 06 sedan with 17" racing wheels ~13.8 pounds and Goodyear F1 tires and stock brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Uh, maybe he brake checked you because you were tailgating him. I would if someone was 2 feet from me. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfool Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 i'm sure it felt quick, but 75mph to complete stop in one second would be a great feat of deceleration even with race slicks on, and would involve some serious G-forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azca Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 oh yeah; I am still shaking up a bit i'm sure it felt quick, but 75mph to complete stop in one second would be a great feat of deceleration even with race slicks on, and would involve some serious G-forces.

azca Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 the point of the thread is not what happened; I wasn't tailgating anyone -> I changed lanes into the left lane and next thing I know SLAM on the brakes. The point is: brakes are very good with the combo of rims/tires I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

direavenger Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I changed lanes into the left lane and next thing I know SLAM on the brakes. You might have mentioned that in your first post to avoid some frustration, but I digress. Yes, I find the brakes perfectly acceptable. The Dude - Two inches and counting...

panamajack Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Was going 75mph on the freeway today, about a foot or 2 from a new M3. And who goes to a complete stop on the freeway? Sounds like bad driving to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaspert Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 75mph to zip in 1 second. Wow! What F1 carbon brakes you've got there? Otherwise your 1 second must be very different from our usual "one , one thousand" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinlsb Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 more than likely the M3 guy braked using his rear view mirror, something I always did in my Porsche. "Belief does not make truth.
