If it's a old Ford Escort, just turn on the A/C. It will stop immediately! |

Wow! I didn't know there would be so many different answers. Right now I am taking a defensive driving course in Texas and according to the course instructor, and her sources (which I am assuming would be the Texas Department of Public Safety), it takes 233 ft. for a vehicle traveling 70 mph to stop once the brakes are applied. |

The average time to stop once the brakes are applied for a car on dry pavement is 252ft. The average reaction time is 3/4 sec. Adding the distance traveled during the reaction time(77ft.) and the stopping time, the total average distance to stop is 329ft. |

Chevy Avalanche: 204 feet
Porsche 911 Carrera: 150 feet
170 to 180 is considered 'good' |

It depends on the weight, model, tires, brakes and calipers. Some models stop faster, stock, and others stop more quickly with after market brakes. |

It depends on the weight of the car, what type of brakes the car has things like that. 160ft is good stopping distance. If you want to be able to stop your vehicle faster look into reducing its weight and if you have disc brakes buy rotors that are drilled and slotted. If you have drum brakes dont expect to stop very fast. |
