i got out of my car and my friend looked back at me and said that my car was smokeing. when i looked at my car i saw black stuff on my wheels and my brakes were smoking. do you think that it's because of me hitting the brakes to hard or is there something wrong. i was being very hard on the brakes right before i got out of the car.

I have never seen that one before... what were you doing that was hard on the breaks? Powerstall or anything like that?

Your caliper(s) might be sticking. That will cause the brakes to smoke. And it smells terrible.[:@]

100-0 as fast as posible about 5 times in a 10 min time frame. yeah yeah i know not a good idea but hey i went from a truck to a mustang gt gota have some fun after today i'm gonna be babying it tho

jelam

it only does it when i brake hard it's fine when i stop like i should.

HaV

100-0?? You slamed on the breaks from 100 that many times in a row? Jesus man, I dont think you saw smoke.. I think that was your car crying for its mommy!

Like I said, I have never seen breaks smoke, but after that many stops.. you might wanna invest in some new breakpads... you might been to the point where you were running on metal, especally if its been a while since they have been changed.

jelam

they were changed abot 3 days ago so hope that i haven't destroyed them yet

sprostang

Well then, drive normal and they should be ok.

jelam

ok i was just hopeing that i didn't mess up my brakes driving like that and yeah i'm still taking off fast but not stoping as fast
