well, given that carbon/carbon brakes need a few 160km/hr panic stops to get up
to working temperature, i'm certain that they are more "efficient".
another point for those who say that the m3's brakes are "awesome", the s4 has
a better 60mph-0 figure (2.5), than the m3 (2.7). reference:autocar 18/3/98
test of the cars.
also the a3 1.8t has better 70mph-0 figures than my rs2 (158ft:162ft), and
almost as good as the 996 (911) @153ft. reference performance car march 1998.
