No such thing as negative acceleration. The closest thing of accomplishing that feat would be staying completely still. Not even a twich.

Ok I think this is geeting a little pedantic. The rate at which an object loses speed can be measured as deceleration. Hence in Forza 3, the game will cause your car to decelerate (slow down at a rate of 'x' m/s at any given time) when it needs to.

Negative. Acceleration is the change of velocity. So slowing down is acceleration. changing lanes at the same speed is acceleration.

Yes you're correct but deceleration is a commonly (and scientifically) accepted term for acceleration when a change in linear velocity is negative (i.e an object is slowing down).

EDIT: I also think we're a little off topic now
