My car has what I consider to be fairly modest engine-braking qualities. That's not something that under any circumstances is going to slow my car by very much.

The extremes I've experienced were from the 60s and the early 70s, when high-compression four-stroke engines had remarkable engine-braking qualities, and the two-stroke engines had relatively none at all. Different driving techniques were required to make good time with those very different engines.
