so yesterday i rear ended this truck!!! my f'n car is driving me crazy! the traffic in front of me came to a quick stop i had just crossed the intersection i had more then enough time and distance to stop but it felt like my car didnt want to stop. the damage was not real bad, my car will need a new bumper cover and maybe a new hood, im not too sure about fiberglass work. the guy in the truck was real cool he said it was his work truck and he told me not to worry about i so i wont have to use my insurance. thats the only good thing about this whole thing. My question is, has anyone had any brake problems with there car?

 

Nope...because I use the 2-second rule I was taught in Driver's Education.

 

I havent had any problems with mine, have you check your brake pads or brake fluid lately?

 

 

fluids are good, brake pads look in good cond. still. i felt the abs kick in but just couldnt stop, almost like if i was destined to hit that truck

 

my brakes feel like that too...im gonna look into cobra brakes

 

yep. My brakes were junk too. And ive also had an accident because of it. Jam the brakes but car just doesnt want to stop. I know exactly what youre talking about. I upgraded to the cobra brakes but havent had a chance to take the car for a spin. They look good though with drilled/slotted rotors. Only prob. is I actually have mach calipers (which are exactly the same minus the black paint and cobra lettering) cause the cobras were on back order with no ETA and at the time I needed them asap. F'in FRPP...i really wanted the cobras...

 

maybe you were just going too fast.....

 

I wish I had the mach's instead of the cobra's...I'd rather have a pony there than something that says "COBRA".

 

Yeah, i was going fast. but not crazy fast. The pedal went to the floor and the car just kept going. It was werid...

The mach calipers are gray with no lettering or logos at all on them. the bullitt calipers were red and had the pony on them. Maybe thats what you're thinking of. The rear calipers are cobras and theyre black. Looks kinda weird, not too noticable though.
