That's a little contrived, no? I don't compare my RS 5 with a Corolla, either. The Audi and BMW have brakes like that because they also are literally designed

I don't compare my RS 5 with a Corolla, either. The Audi and BMW have brakes like that because they also are literally designed to spend some time on the track (mine has integrated laptimers and speed calculators for 0-60 times, etc., and shows me individual tire temperatures not just pressure, as well as component temperatures for drive train, transmission, differential).

If a 3000 lb car can stop in 3 seconds then two 3000 lb cars can also stop in 3 seconds even though together they weigh 6000 lbs. It would be no different for a 6000 lb vehicle with eight tires and eight brake discs, and you can also get the same result using larger tires and brakes instead of more of them.
