Default Brakes vs Engine

The Braking system is the most powerful part of the Car, it wins against the engine, The Police employs Stingers to puncture tyres in pursuits, once "stung" the vehicle cannot proceed for much distance due the rolling resistance of deflated tyres.

The design specification of Porsche is Braking time is half of acceleration, ie 0 to 60 = 5 seconds, then 60 to zero must be 2.5 seconds or less.

The runaway Prius, it must be a Stunt
