The SRT6's have even larger brakes which is Great...the larger the better.
I would concurr with Colorado here, having owned a number of Benzes. If you are building a car that weighs in at 4600 lbs and it can do 150 MPH then you had better have systems that can stop a 4600 lb car. Germans are known for it.
Our cars are considerabley lighter at 3,300 lbs but the brakes are built for the heavier SLK and other Benzes. A bonus from Diamler.
