Stopping Distances?

Anyone have any info for the stopping distances for the Cayenne. I would be curious if there is any difference between the Cayenne/S/Turbo or Ceramics. I'm not talking track use, just one or 2 60-0 stops.

They should be slightly better with each higher model.
I too want to know the documented specifics per each break.
1-4 stops not track either....

The thing is, I'm not so sure that they distances would get better in a 1-4 time panic stop test. On a track with heavy use, yes, but everyday not so sure. I think tire size(and tire construction) and thus wheel size may be a more important factor. As I would guess the 21 inch 295 tire will outstop a 255 18 inch setup.

I saw on Motortrend they had an S with the 20 inch setup and were getting 60-0 of 113 feet, then in another thread there was a driver claiming his Turbo was getting 60-0 of 107.

EDIT---

Found a Motortrend test comparing the S and Turbo, note though that the Turbo was wearing 295 w/21 inch wheels vs the S wearing 275 w/20 inch wheels.

6 feet difference. Due to tires or brakes? What do you guys think? I would still like to see the Ceramics and the Black brake's info.

Id imagine weather temp and tire width make up that difference.
Lets go guys and girls, find the stopping distance with similarly opted cayennes.

My real life experience: my old GTS vs the turbo and my turbo with ceramics, the ceramics "feel" better.
Sure it's eye popping breaking power but not sure what the actual specs are or if they differ. I just know that compared to my other cayennes the ceramics give better more
sensitive pedal feel. Being that the ceramics weighs 1/2 that of the standard turbo breaks that probably makes an additional difference, but again I don't have any documented specifics on stopping distance or responsiveness.

Let's go, prove this.
