Message	The original design probably had brakes which where comensurate with the car's overall performance estimates. However, as the build out continued, and more technology was added to the car, e.g., HICAS, etc.; the car's weight gradually increased to a point where the brakes were compromised. In retrospect, enginners should have also upgraded the brakes to handle the extra weight. I am sure StopTech and Brembo are glad they didn't. What's the difference between Daytona and New York??
