This is what happens when brakes fail.

This is a Nissan 370Z with a brake failure at Circuit of the Americas.

I said I was happy at 80-90% of the *cars* limit, not 80-90% of my own lowly limit. I guess I should correct that to "perceived cars limit" before someone jumps on that too.

Just for sake of clarity, you're implying that installing Brembo calipers off of an STI onto a Twin will cause brake failure of those proportions? I'm curious how that math adds up.
