Hank, great car, it looks like one of the first 6 cylinders, unfortunately too small for my bel... for my belt.

I think it depends on the basis of comparison. Hank's Z3 probably stops faster than one or another vehicle I had the doubtful joy to ride with. The pic shows a farm tractor without power steering and power brakes, no brakes at the front axle, weak rear drum brake and crash box (not synchronized gear box) but 24 tons towing capacity. Successful built 20 years after the downfall of Packard and exported in several countries.
I don't say that it needs a tractor to make a Packard appear modern but high deceleration due to braking isn't an invention of modern times.
