since when? if you're tracking the car, the only thing that matters is power.
if you accelerate down a straight, the amount of power you put in dirrectly correlates to the amount of energy you have to dissipate with the brakes at the end. i.e. heavy car w/300hp will be going 110, lighter car with 300hp will be going 140. basically the same momentum
on the street, the weight of the car is what matters because you're going a set speed no matter what.
this is all in relation to heat management, which is what big brakes are for anyway. i'm assuming you're going to use some real tires.
so let me get this straight. you're planning on tracking this car, but considering using the stock brakes? if you're seriously tracking the car, z32 brakes should be the minimum. put some cheap pads on the car so you can drive it and keep saving for some real brakes.
