Blink, you're probably doing the braking test wrong if you think that's the case. The test is as follows: start at 20 mph, accelerate to 130 at full throttle, then threshold brake down to 20 again. Repeat 20-30 times, and only on the last one measure the distance from 130 down to zero. It's not a matter of doing it once, but how many time you can do it where the big brakes give you the advantage.
