@SerpentM52 if that was true super light F1 cars would stop at higher distances vs such heavy EVs (with about the same brakes) yet they clearly don't.

The simplest car I remember was the Greek Pony (out of a Citroen design). Look for it. Basically a square box out of tin with 4 wheels and 2-4 seats. It sold well because it was practical and it lasted relatively well but that was many decades ago. Now everyone needs a screen and cruise control.

@SerpentM52 The hypothesis is "all things equal" (except from vehicle weight). Lighter will always beat heavier in braking tests.

@SerpentM52 the act of braking is compressing suspension and does exactly what you are describing at the tire contact patch (it enlarges it). The less momentum forward a vehicle has, which of course is dependent on mass and speed, the easier it is to stop. I think we agree on that.

@subsgob00m it would defeat the emissions goals (which are BS imo).
