I hope in less than 49 sec., but I may just be dreaming, we will have to see how it goes. Or should I install new racing brakes and high temp fluid? Also this is my first Porsche I do have another roadster SLK 350 but that car is just not something you want to race. OK OK OK I did one time and run it 9 times that day on the track and could only get in the low 50's. Will if you have any info that could help Thanks!!!!!

I haven't raced autocross, so I can't address that issue. The DE track I ride is Homestead in Miami FL It has two corners where you enter at around 100mph and brake hard for 2nd gear corners, and two corners where you enter at around 100mph and brake for 3rd gear turns. So the track definitely tests the brakes.
As I said, Iv'e had absolutely no problem with the stock brakes. My only problem is that I'm still a little timid and tend to overbrake.
