These are due to more power being applied to the
wheels than can be handled. The net result is that the
wheels spin and the vehicle does not accelerate.
• The large dip you see at the end of the graph is hard
braking at the end of the run.
• Notice at the end of the graph, Gs are zero. This is
because the vehicle came to a stop. Hence there is no
acceleration or deceleration.
Braking Distance
The “Braking Distance” graph is useful for seeing how many
feet it took your vehicle to stop from a specific speed.
For example, you can use this graph to determine 60-0 MPH
braking distance. This is a common measurement in automo-
bile reviews.
As another example, when upgrading the brakes or tires on
your car, you might be interested in a “before” and “after”
comparison of your braking distance.
This graph also allows you to view intermediate braking
results, such as 100MPH - 40MPH, or any other endpoints
you choose.
Note: If you do not brake to a complete stop at the end of
your run, and let the E.T. clock stop, the data on this graph will
not be very useful to you.
