ABS maybe?

Good for FORD!   Bet you didnt even come CLOSE to needing airbag
deployment!

I've driven cars with such powerful brakes that it would put you (and
the front passenger) through the WINDSHIELD if you really stood on
them.  Then I've driven other cars that work as you describe; you stand
on the brakes and it just sort of lazily slows down and stops.  There's
no excuse for an 05 car, especially a "performance" car like a Mustang,
to have sucky brakes.

When I bought my first anti-lock brake car, one of the first things I did
was do a panic stop. Since the brake system acts differently, I was told it
was a good idea to know how the car reacts and get used to it in this
situation. During a panic stop, the petal pulses and there was a pump noise,
all perfectly normal. A friend who works as an accident investigator told me
a number of people have had crashes because they let off on the brakes when
they felt this for the first time. Most of them didn't ever remember doing
it. Also some people still pump the brake petal which severely restricts the
anti-lock feature. Another thing to remember is when the anti-lock is
activated, you still have steering control.
Good Luck

 Yup. The brakes on my Ranger 4x4 suck. They were great when
I first bought the truck, but one day, they just got weak.
They're so weak they won't even activate the anti lock on
a wet road. The dealer replaced the MC, booster, and the ABS
control unit, but the brakes still suck. Now they say it's
normal.
