Eg, when your tyres lose traction long before the big brakes reaches its full braking potential :D

I was going to type the same thing, but perhaps think he means in the context of 'equipped to an FTO' to which I would agree.... atleast a stock FTO.

yep!
See astrons comment above ^^
I meant that that size brake is unnecessary on an Fto.
A v12 turbo is another story.

Haha yeah they are the front brakes on a Mercedes AMG S65 which is a twin turbo V12 that puts out 612HP we had it in at work today
I measured the rotor diameter just to see how massive they where they are 15 inches they have 4 brake pads per wheel they were crazy
