First off, the SVT's brakes are Great. Second, and Most Important, is that they are already developed. In other words, No Additional Cost to Engineer, etc.... SVT 4 wheel discs will be Fine, Thank You. We don't need brakes so big that the tires can't use them. The SVT brakes are more than Adequate, even with R-Compound tires.
They just need Proper Ventilation.

AirForceFocus, Why would we want Electro-Mechanical Steering?
I Want to Feel Each tire in my hands.
Please don't remove that by a "Drive By Wire" Interface.
If I have an air-pressure problem, or a poor balance, I want to be able to feel which tire it is IN MY HANDS, without a Video-Game Replication of force-feedback.
I want all of the REAL Feedback that I can get, without additional sensors to fail.

I most definitely understand that tires are the most important.
But for a performance model that would have 275 or more hp would certainly need more than the current SVT sized brakes.
