base brakes almost killed me

Base brakes are bad I have searched and noticed there are no specs on stopping distance with the base brakes.

Yet, if someone here thinks the base brakes will stop in 70-0 in 157ft not happening.

The sport and Nismo can stop in 70-0 in 157ft the Camaro ZL1 does it in 159ft the corvette grand sport in 157ft.

I would like to see some tests. Surprisingly Nissan does not offer any specs on there site.

Braking distance is due to the tires no the brakes. Any brakes in good working order on any new car today has the ability to lock the wheels up. The difference between brakes like the base and sport comes from reducing brake fade and pedal effort required to stop the car.
