A friend used to work for Aston Martin, and did their in-house advanced driving course. First thing on the first day was to accelerate to 120mph (OK, not 'fast' for a supercar), and do an emergency stop; press the pedal to the floor so the ABS kicks in. The instructor did it, then they swapped and he did 3 times in succession. The brakes didn't fade, and they weren't carbon/exotic. He drove a number of supercars there, and he said that the thing that consistently blew his mind was braking performance.
I'm sure these cars would be safer driven at 100mph like the rest of the cars around them, but 200mph emergency stops are something they can dispatch with ease.
