60 to 0 braking footage?
I looked up several road tests for the G37 sedan. Most tell you the 0 to 60 time but I didn't find any that gave the braking results. Does anyone know of a road test where they give this information? I was curious as to the 60 to 0 stopping results.

Inside Line test between Taurus SHO and G37S:
2010 Ford Taurus SHO vs. 2009 Infiniti G37 Comparison Test and Video on Inside Line
When we hit the brakes from 60 mph, the SHO fares poorly against the G37, requiring 127 feet to stop compared to the G37's 110-foot best. What's more, the SHO's pedal grew progressively softer from the first to fifth (and final) stop and the pads smoked after several acceleration runs. The Infiniti's brakes showed no such signs of nearing their limits — ever. No doubt the G37's $2,100 Sport package helped here with, among other things, upgraded brakes and summer tires. Oh, and it wasn't saddled with those two invisible NFL players either.

The non-sport brakes should be almost as good on stopping distance (if the tires were the same), but might fade after repeated use (hopefully not as much as the Ford's!).

Tires on the car are the single biggest determining factor in braking distance, not the brakes themselves. Remember, they're the only part of the car that touches the ground, and I think it's pretty clear that non-sticky tires will hit the ABS threshold much faster than sticky tires.
The brakes determine how many times they can do the test back to back without overheating.
