That makes absolutely no sense

The sport package brakes have an extra piston in the calipers along with bigger pads and rotors vs the base brakes. The extra clamping force and larger pad contact surface area contribute to significantly improved braking capabilities.

Different tires and their wear condition can also significantly impact braking ability.
