exactly 17 years ago my dumbass slapped on a Perrin catless DP and a new fandangled Cobb Accessport and ran 12.5@ 112 in a then new 2007 Wrx STi
progress I guess for that Emira ?

It's what the F8x should have been built like from the get go, but BMW took 6 years to perfect it
It's a lot more than 2.3 lbs you could save
Why do carbon brakes exist? To save unsprung weight, reduction acceleration and maximizing braking effort
A more aggressive pad increasing bite will also increase brake performance
Friction forming heat will lead to shorter distances
Like I said...
I understand tires do the bulk of braking and with all things equal , upgraded contact patch and stickier tires will perform better than getting a big brake kit.
On the other hand, say brakes don't slow down your car or decrease braking distance is factually incorrect and misleading a less...

The 12.9 I'm not really hung up on but the 111mph is the weird part

Not sure what was up with the top end on that MT Supra
