The factory equipped the RS models with ordinary factory brakes and found them very adequate. However, I imagine there are budding Jochin Rindt's, Vic Elfords .... or Chip Foose's among us who want a bit more.
Here's the typical Porsche hot rod brake upgrade path:
a. ATE Blue brake fluid, alternating with ATE amber BF @ $10/pt.
b. Turbo brakes or big reds @ $3000+ installation

Hey Sherwood - I resemble that remark -
Alright not completely - but try hauling a fat a$$ cabriolet down at the track - I know, I know - get a coupe and make it lighter...
