Even a junker can lock its wheels under hard braking, right? AFAIK the limiting factors are tire grip, ABS control and of course mass.

- MadnessASAP 3y agoI wouldn't assume that. I've definitely been in a few junkers that couldn't do it on warm, clean, and dry pavement. Although you've already got pretty good braking performance in those conditions anyways. Even then though, the travel of the brake pedal may be such that the time to full braking power is significant. Fortunately brakes are fairly straightforward and getting them back to good performance usually isn't a complex or expensive process.
