When you have to design a car that can go 150mph on the AutoBahn you have to design in larger brakes. Most German cars have larger brakes than American cars because they can be driven at the top speed of the car as opposed to 75mph in the USA. Lucky for us they are great at stopping our XFIREs. The SRT6's have even larger brakes which is Great...the larger the better.
