Break Response time for S60 05-07

NEEDHELP · Post by **NEEDHELP** » 19 Apr 2007, 21:05

Well I looked into some volvo doc, more like pdf with car specs and features and still no luck in finding such a measured time. but I did take what I did find the 60mph and stopping distance being 123 ft and got a time of 2.05 by doing some physics. I'm aslo assuming its in seconds. I used the equation sverage velocity = distance / time and did the math. now does that sould like it worked?

Ah....no, I don't think so
I takes a lot more time from 60 to 0 unless you're driving an F1 car
3 to 5 seconds

60mph and stopping distance being 123 ft

I am curious about the 123 ft stopping distance from 60 mph. My books show the minimum total stopping distance, on a dry road with brakes in perfect order, to be 240 ft. Even taking out the driver's reaction time covering 60 ft, it leaves an actual stopping distance of 180 ft. This would certainly take more than 2.05 seconds.

I found that info here at this website grant too that this is about the 2001 S60 but Ifigure it should be about the same for evey model after by defualt.

if you read this article you will come to a paragrah that says :

Don't know what you're reading, but absolutely NO CAR that has brakes

takes that long

well I found a number for volvo personal shopper and the person told me the toltal stoping time for the volvo s60 was like 135ft and in about three seconds for 60 - 0.

thanks people for your time and help.
