Yes. The speed you achieve in a given distance with 250 hp instead of 100 hp
under the hood needs more stopping power before you enter the 90º right turn,
nicht war?

Lets put this in another form. With engine A (100 hp) you can probably get up to
say 60 mph before the 90º, but with engine B (220 hp) you can press the car up
to 95 mph. No matter which engine you have under the hood, you can only do the
90º at 32 mph, so the stock brakes have no problem slowing down the car from 60
mph, but if yo go 95 mph you're in deep $hit with stock brakes!
