Norm is well respected...."Anon"??  unknown....  but 2nd hand  reports..


Bob Helt has the GM Test data  IIRC!  




Any rear engined  vehicle will stop  pretty well  with just the rear tires locked up...due to weight over the wheels...


And as far as Mythboys... they probably tested a newer vehicle than a 60's,  where they've been made "idiot proof"!!!ggg


Bottom line... it doesn't really matter.....  gg
