More power needs bigger brakes. Why? Because idiots like me get into kinetic energy trouble a lot faster when given more power.

Example, I'm speeding up to pass a guy on the freeway. If I'm in a C6, I'm going to end up increasing my speed a bit more than if I'm in a Ford Ranger. Yeah, I could drive less aggressively, but power and Los Angeles traffic can do that to you pretty quick. Good, fade-free braking has saved my ass on more than one account, I say upgrade!
