Nope, sorry. Brakes are about more than just the panik stop distances. Porsche has a great history of brakes that have amazing feel and outstanding fade resistance. I highly doubt that Nissan is capable of making brakes that have as great a pedal feel and as high a fade resistance as Porsche.

you are so right.
all the reviews I have read for cars have this section in the performance area and they look like this:
Porsche Boxster:
Stopping Distance: Avearge
Brake Feel: Orgasmic
Brake Fade: Average

Infiniti G35
Stopping Distance: Class Leading
Brake Feel: Normal
Brake Fade: Normal
I don't mean that the Nissan is a bad car, it's very nice vehicle, fast, comfortable, pretty good handling. I don't care for they styling, but that's because I'm weird and it's no fault of the Nissan's.

That said, my 1976 914 with a dying brake master cylinder has almost infinitely better brake feel than my parents' Maxima. My 924S is better still. In both Porsches the brakes are firm and confidence inspiring. In the Maxima it's like stepping on a rotten plum. They work well, but the pedal communicates nothing.
