I was doing so back road adventuring today when this guy in his Cayenne made a motion to enter my path while I was going 50. I couldn't tell if he was going to try to make it out but I braked HARD not quite having the pedal mashed but damn close. Anyway it felt almost like the rear end was about to come around while doing this. I have never had to brake so hard before and never had a car with as good as brakes as I do now but is this a typical thing to happen for the rear end to want to snap around like that?
Im driving a 1999 Firebird, ABS, and TCS working.
no, it sould never try to swing out, unless you were on a gravel or uneven road. Get on a good road, hit the brakes and see happens.

Ya if its not due to pretty good variation in traction from tire to tire, its a problem with your suspension *possibly* but I personally would tend to think more towards your calipers, rotors, and pads... Like in mine the wear is really uneven and it pulls to the right fairly hard when I brake hard. Getting it fixed soon obviously, but look into that, not a safe one you want to have happen again.
Looking at my rotors I can actually see a noticeable amount of scarring. Also when normally braking the car tend to pulsate quite a bit. I think I just need to get some sand paper/emry paper and shave em down a little.
if its pulsating alot u may need to take your rotors and get them turned, they may be warped. if they pulsate under hard breaking it may be the ABS kicking in
there could be a problem but if I really smash it in my maro the back end does want to come around a little... But it reallly won't... It is because your braking the front and the rears still have circular momentum.... this
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...
