well i wouldn't say that for sure..
1. We dont know how much power his 2012 FD drift car is putting down. A good rule of thumb is, more power = more brakes.
2. Seeing as how tires provide a portion of the braking, and the car he test drove was most likely running on the eco tires, it could result in the idea that the cars braking capabilities are not enough for motorsports.
3. For FD competition or any other pro drift competition, the driving style of the driver, ken Gushi, could affect the cars performance and affect the competition results. He could use the stock brakes to its limit.
I remember tracking my 300zx once and Stock blanks and good pads good tires were providing enough braking performance to get me around the track fast and safely. But when i tried my first drift event and autoX that same car and same brake setup i found myself experience brake fade, and going through several pads.
So most likely for this particular motorsport Ken Gushi would require big brakes with longer endurance if hes in it to win the 2012 season.
