Default brakes or no brakes?

I was just wondering who runs with and without brakes? IMO I hate them and never have them on the car, I think cars look alot nicer with empty wheels..... What's your set-up? post pics if you want....

Brakes accelerate the car a lot quicker than the engine...something to think about.

If he used the term velocity then he would be correct. Velocity is just a measurement of change in direction. Acceleration and Deceleration, can not be used loosely. Either an object accelerates to higher speed or decelerates to a lower speed.

So he could of got away with saying, The brakes have a larger impact on the car's velocity than the engine.

No... let's look at some physics definitions:

Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Velocity: A vector quantity whose magnitude is a body's speed and whose direction is the body's direction of motion.
Speed: The rate or a measure of the rate of motion.

There is no "deceleration" in strict physics terms. Deceleration is a lay word for negative acceleration.

Thusly, brakes accelerate the car.

I like my brakes ok, but since I start in fifth and work my way down the gears, I don't need them usually...
