S2000 braking
Be careful! A Daewoo almost slammed into me when I stopped at an intersection in traffic. I saw him coming and had to creep up to compensate. Its easy to forget that this car stops faster than other cars around you!

I know what you mean, the guy in front of me stopped in a hurry this morning with no brake lights 
I had to modulate my braking so the girl driving behind me didn't get too intimate - I swear I must have ended up practically touching bumpers...

Everyone friggin' wants to see if they can keep up with us and when we need to slam on the brakes, they're still accelerating from 60 - 75. I'm constantly having to try to get people off my ass. C'mon man. Do you really think your F-body handles that well? Don't get me wrong ....fast as hell...can't handle for crap.

I think you either can't drive or some really heavily modified Civics / Integras kicked your ass really bad.
So which one is it?

Also, I'm actually quoting a friend mine that owns a '00 Firebird, with ramair. He can hit quarters in 13.2...that's hella fast . He tried the auto-x and got awful times "cuz my car handles like crap", he said. Now, when I say handles like crap..I mean comparatively speaking. 5 mph on the slalom, at least to me seems like a lot more speed. I meant no offense, and in retrospect, I see how it might have been that way. I do not usually post in this manner, except to the Houstooks.
