Are big Porsche brakes overkill?

[Alex]

This is an attempt to get more posts and to give a better understanding to those that are new to this type of brake system.

Here is my point of view:
No!!!! Why? I see it this way. If you have a big motor you should have good brakes as well. Lets say you build a 13 sec 1/4 mile car. You are in the same class now with some Porsches and Ferraris and other quite quick cars. So, going fast is one thing...stopping another. I read quite a few posts on big Porsche brakes being totally overkill. Basically a waste of money.
If you look at other cars....race cars...their brakes grow with the amount of HP they have in the back...or in the front of the car.
There is a very good article on the Superbeetlesonly website.
