Both vehicles are able to apply enough pressure to get into ABS action. At that point the vehicle with the performance tires will stop much more aggressively!
Braking is limited by tire traction.
The Viggen with the stiffer suspention will also control weight transfer better and allow the rear brakes to work harder.
With the same tires on both vehicles the differences in braking would be much less.
The Viggen brakes have more mass and will withstand the head from repeated aggressive braking much better. The other vehicle would get into gas-fade problems when the Viggen would keep working well. The Viggen rotors are also slotted to avoid gas-fade when the pads are fumming hot.
