It depends upon the weight of the car, the coefficient of friction for the brake linings, and the type of tire and contact with the road surface. A Formula One car can stop in these conditions very quickly. See this link for further explanation: http://www.csgnetwork.com/stopdistinfo.html A calculator can be found here: http://www.Oregon.gov/OSP/PATROL/stop_brake_distance_chart.shtml Using the calculations from this website's downloadable EXCEL sheet shows that a vehicle traveling 197 mph and weighing 4000 pounds would take 1764 feet to stop with a drivers reaction time of .5 seconds considering the coefficient friction value of .8 which would be considered an ABS brake system with excellent tires.
