@soaringvulture SI is just vastly better, NO ONE knows the Imperial system...how many ft. in a mile? 5280 (if I remember correctly), gallons in a barrel? ounces in a gallon or teaspoon?....on and on...insanity. Metric: 1 cubic centimeter is one centiliter, heat one centiliter of water 1 degree C requires ONE calorie, 0 is freeze point, 100 is boiling, everything is up or down by a factor of 10 with same prefixes across all units. SUPER easy to master. It's pathetic laziness America is so backwards.

Worth noting here that staying just out of ABS stops most cars significantly better. ABS is not optimal.

@soaringvulture How many inches in a mile? Feet in a furlong? Sq. ft. in a sq. mile? Did you know there's 5280 ft in a mile?? How many fluid ounces in a gallon? How many BTUs to heat a gallon of water one deg. F??? If you don't know those you don't know the system. The only good thing about Imperial is that it used crude units everyone had a reference to, foot, yard(finger tips to center of chest), inch: finger tip to first joint. My foot happens to be exactly 12 inches but most folks are not. Engineers almost always use metric and for damn good reason.
