and also, I don't even know if the 993/Elise/STi has better 60-0 braking stats or not than the Z, they might not. I'm talking about the feel of the brakes. I'm sure all 3 cars are very close in performance. to me it just seems in hard braking or a panic stop that the Z is more squirrely, requires more effort, and does not seem as confident.
The stock pads do require moderate pressure, which in turns give good pedal modulation at low speeds. If you like the lower effort pedal just go for a more aggressive street pad like the Hawk HPS.
