Interesting. I bet that thing was fun to drive. However, I am not sure how the displacement and horsepower would affect braking. Getting to 60 mph 4 seconds sooner would still require the same braking to stop from 60 mph to 0 (all else being equal). I only mean , it does not really matter what horsepower and displacement got you to the 60 mph.
The car, having a higher top end capability, would of course be a braking concern. The biggest issue would have been the extra mass of the engine and other modifications.
So....how fast did you take it?
