My 95 Lumina LS VS Another LS

[Bruticus]

Heres a funny story i had did my brakes a week ago i havent drove my car for about 3 days. I had to goto my mothers house i hate going all the way where she lived. But be4 her house theres this long strip of road with no lights for like 2 miles. :lol: So i always do over the limit well on my way there i was at the light to the 2 mile strip when some Thug with a regular Lumina pulls up to me. I usually dont pay attention to people but he was eyeing my car. Mind u this guy is sitting practially in the backseat I have no idea why he did what he does next. The light turns green he does a mini burn out so just for the hell of it i responded with a longer version of what he did he looked at me kinda amazed. Then he does the 3 honk bit so i take off he was pretty much on my tail we did a take off from a 35 mph roll. I pretty much won but then when we get to the end of the strip i was doing about 90 now i had to slow down for the light ahead. As i stopped my brakes were smoking. :lol: :lol: :lol: The dude gives me the thumbs up and leaves. My moms house was right up the block where we were once i pulled up she thought my car was on fire. Ill never race like that after changing my brakes ever again. :lol:

Try doing a 120-0 stop, that's even more fun.

Yes it is. 88-96 W-body brakes suck, period. By far the worst brakes I've ever had the misfortune of using. I hate Ford, but damn they have some of the best stopping abilities.

I can second that, sort of. I was at work one day and was out side loading some stuff in the store and all the sudden I hear this squeal of tires. I see this Escort screeching to a halt with tires smoking. :lol:

not ford econoline vans, they have no brake feel whatsoever, it feels like you're in an arcade playing one of those racing games
