i actually didnt have to brake at all when i left it in 3rd at 128mph and let the engine brake it down to speed. but even at 145 i still barely had to hit the brakes to slow down enough for the turn.
I was able to brake just fine with no abs or tcc on stock brakes with hps pads. Car weighs 3700lbs and ran 165mph. Yeah I was on the brakes like Oprah tackling a baked ham, but I didn't feel like it was not safe.
