LIKE I WILL SAY AGAIN...most will be ok with just good tires and then perhaps a good street pad.

FINALLY...most upgrade to big brakes/'breaks' due to cosmetics.
Yeah, that all makes sense. Good tires and pads first, then worry about a real upgrade if you need it.

This is what makes no sense. You can SAY IT AGAIN all damn day and it's still wrong. In my reality, I let go of the gas pedal before I step on the brake, are you doing things differently?

When you put the clutch in, or put the car in neutral? No longer accelerating. When you let off the gas? No longer accelerating. Maybe the transmission in your hypothetical "high hp automatic" vehicle is different - although I'm pretty sure the OP isn't talking about a purpose-built drag car - but even then, I would think you could still put the damn thing in neutral and then....guess what? No longer accelerating.

See, that's how transmissions work. If they're not engaged, then there is NO power transmitted to the wheels. None. How can you even argue?
