Car & Driver did a test.
70mph-0 braking took about 150 feet
70mph-0 braking with Wide Open Throttle took about 180 feet
Conclusion: the brakes were more than good enough to stop the Audi regardless the power output of the engine
Sorry for the hijack... we now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
