Have you ever taken your TT up to about 75 mph and just slammed on the brakes?...

I did it tonight on a long and isolated cul-de-sac. Got the TT up to speed several times and stomped on the brake pedal. While I do believe that the TT can exhibit unexpected handling problems during at the limit driving, let me say that these brakes are fantastic. The car stops at such a short distance, it's almost awe inspiring. And the tires barely make a sound.
For me, the car tracked in a straight line, and I did it 4 times, although my results might be different on a curve at a high speed. If you haven't tried this, pick a very safe spot and give it a go. You'll be impressed.

Brad: At this point, I'm going to agree with you. I think we might be the only two people on the forum at this hour--and guess what--it's really late for me--do you want me to go out and try this now--I don't think I can. I think I will trust you. I'm just not up to driving at this hour. But, somehow, I know you did this to test the limits. Sorry I ever doubted you,Your friend, Cliff

Brad, hope you had a good story in case the CHiPs dropped by>
"Well, you see officer, there are these rumours going around that this car can be very unstable and spin out if you brake hard at very high speeds, and I was just seeing if there was any truth to the rumours..."
Its obviously bothering you a lot, so good for you, get it out!!
Next Friday night, though, why don't you try taking a girl down the isolated cul-de-sac and see if you can make her break. Try it four times and let us know how useful the back seat is!!
Just ribbin' ya, Brad - absolutely no offense intended. I can never resist taking a swing at a hanger.
