[QUOTE="EJChevy, post: 194413, member: 3417"] Marginally bigger brakes will not make a significant impact on how quickly you can slow down from 100kmph. The standard brakes on a Corvette are more than powerful enough to lock up the wheels. The biggest impact on stopping distance is your tires. Larger brakes allow for better heat distribution, which will prevent them from overheating in a track environment when you're regularly using the brakes to their maximum potential with little time in-between braking events. You will not overheat street brakes in a 100-0kmph situation. If you over-cook a corner, you're a bloody idiot. Slightly stiffer springs and dampers won't make a big difference here either. Getting into a situation where you are over-driving the car will not be improved by slight changes in the car, this is purely driver error. It's caused by too big an input, too quickly. You can do this, even if you are on racing slicks and have 150 hp. [/QUOTE]
