Stopping distance is close. The base brakes on the Mustang are decent and stop within 10 feet of the Brembos on average, much of this due to the difference in tire compound. The real difference is the Brembos can sustain repeated abuse (i.e. track environment) where the base can't.

Aside from the Brembo brakes, the Brembo packaged cars have different shocks, springs, tires, and stability control tuning. Our sport mode is a little more liberal than the base... we can do more before it intervenes.

We also sit on Pirelli PZero summer rubber vs. the base PZero Nero all seasons, which amounts to quite a big difference in grip.
