I have NEVER been able to lock up the brakes on this car. And that includes a hard braking incident from about 100 against a Toyota Supra Turbo. When I really get on it, the nose will dive a bit and the car gets "squirrely", if that makes sense. I attributed the squirreliness to the high-profile tires, but maybe I was wrong in that assumption.
I almost forgot, I also got on it VERY HARD once to avoid rear-ending a guy who was driving WAY too slow on the interstate. And I do mean HARD. I finally matched his speed when I was 4 inches from his back bumper (no exaggeration). I had to check my shorts after that one (they were okay). The car did not lock up during either incident and I felt that it should have slowed even better (especially when I saw that Minnesota license plate coming at me).
Does it sound like I have the brake bias set too far to the rear? I have no experiences to compare it to.
I have driven in other cars where the brake pedal feels like you're pressing against a brick wall. It feels like the pedal isn't moving
at all. In those instances, I've had to practically STAND on the pedal to get the car to stop. I'm not having
that problem, my pedal has a nice tactile feel to it.
What do you guys think? Need more info?
