my point is that if your brakes arent enough to stop the car, your engine wont save you. he said if you dont engine brake you are in trouble (or something to that effect). if you get yourself in trouble, and its not from overheating your brakes, engine braking is not going to help you at all. actual brake systems have not been the bottle neck of stopping power since the sixties.
