Break Response time for S60 05-07

NEEDHELP · Post by **NEEDHELP** » 04 Apr 2007, 15:04

Hello
can anybody help me by telling me what the break response time for a volvo S60 is? I need to know exact and accurate numbers if possible. For any model from 05 - 07 will be alright but if not then any model year.

I am not too sure what information you are after, and by the lack of response I don't think I am alone. Perhaps you could explain more of what you want.

Bill.

Also assume he means BRAKE b.r.a.K.e. response (whatever that may be

)

Sorry for my delayed response, what I ment by brake response time was how long does it take to get the car to stop completely for the s60 model. I looking for a average time or an exact time.

thanks for you help and patiance with me.

Not really called response time just brake time from 60 (or 70) to 0.
There should be a road test somewhere, this data would be there

well I have been looking for such specs or so on the net and I have ccome up with zippo. I'll have to consider this new paramerter in my net searches, thanks JRL. I may yet find the time it takes for the car to stop braking from the time I hit the brake to when the car brakes acctally starts to break. I'll post again it I still come up with zippo.

sorry, Igot it now brake... and I found out that the s60 can stop in 123 ft from 60 mph. I could do some conversons and come up with a estimate.
But I need like a specific time like from the time you hit the pedal to the time the car actually starts to brake. I heard it was called a torque time but I'm not sure.

That's a strange measurement you're looking for. If you find it, it will be in a Volvo document. Car magazines and Consumer Reports don't measure things like that, just -- as has been noted here -- stopping distances.

Never heard of this, I don;t think it's measured.
What you need to know is STOPPING TIME AND DISTANCE from xxx (mph) to 0
