S650 Brakes

Yep... even the Ecoboost with HPP (only 24 MY) has the same brakes as well.

Put the Trofeo RS tires on it, and with the lighter weight, that thing ought to stop in 10 feet.

This is accurate. Braking at the threshold of locking the brakes or ABS kicking in will give a shorter stopping distance than just stomping them and relying on ABS or skidding. In everyday driving I would venture to say for 99% of people, having the bigger brakes wouldn’t make a difference in an emergency as they are going to stomp them as hard as possible. This is because they aren’t used to finding the limit of the brakes where it is second nature like an F1 driver. So, bigger brakes will stop better, but I’d say in the vast majority of emergency stops it’s going to make very little difference. On the track is a completely different story and it makes a huge difference. Disclaimer: I’m not an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

You need to go watch braking tests.

Never tested it while the Trofeo's were still on, but I took my cousin for a little ride last night and while 'inspecting' the brakes from roughly 70mph with the new Pilot Sport 4S' saw 1.34g locked on the accelerometer once we stopped. Still felt like about 10ft!
