John:

What model year is your original pamphlet for?  Is the weight given?  
Overdrive, or non-OD?

  I still have the original pamplet from my car that shows braking distance.  
When I rear-ended a new Volvo wagon I wanted to know what I was up against.  
The TR6 stopping distance from approximately 60 mph is 187 feet.  The Volvo 
wagon with antilock brakes was 146 feet.  Instead of the two second rule, I 
have now made that the 8 second rule.
