Honestly, coming from the base model, with base brakes, and big perfect tires. Tires aren't the solution to this...

When I was at the track, I would end the quarter mile at 105 or something and kept going til 120 or so. At that speed, I had to consistently go to the FAR turn around point because my car felt like it wasn't able to brake fast enough to turn around in the first turn around area (or I didn't want to waste my brakes that much).

I get scared when I apply my brakes at high speeds. I have this video playing in my head the whole time...
