This morning, a woman in a Mercedes suv made a left turn into the right lane, ignoring her stop sign, right in front of me. I dropped the brake pedal to the floor, lots of tire squeal, left some serious skid marks. (not in my pants, but almost) Speed limit was 60km/h (37 in american), I was going 65. I stopped about an inch away from her rear bumper. If my brakes were crap (nothing special, hawk ceramic pads with stoptech rotors), I would have rear-ended her, HARD. Pulled up beside her... of course she is on her cellphone, with a friggin' baby on the back seat... Rolled down my window to say something, she gave me a dirty look, and flipped me off like I was at fault.
Good thing (well, in my case) is that there was a serious accident just two lights ahead of this, and the cops there saw what happened. Pulled her over. I slowed down to chat with them, the officer asked if I was ok.
Long story short.... cant wait for the extra stopping power... lol
Alright, now back on topic, lets see some more gorgeous sedan pics

Wow... Very scary, Andy. I'm glad you and your car are ok. And also glad that justice was served for the lady in the SUV.
I am curious, however, how you were able to lock the tires up and create skid marks with your ABS braking? The ABS system it the V36 G's seems to be so good that I've made several VERY hard panic stops in the 9+ years that I've owned my car and have not once been able to get the tires to actually skid on braking.
Yeah, same here. I've had the tires "chirp" a bit on initial hard braking, but then the ABS catches it and the car slams to a stop in non-dramatic fashion. Then I reinsert by eyeballs into their sockets. ;-)
