different ABS systems play a roll as well as the really most important part... THE TIRES...

dude, ABS is a part of the braking system. So if they're different on each car that would make sense that the brake system on both cars are not identical which is what I said. The guy asked if they were identical and in more than one word I basically said NO. They are very close but the systems are different is all that was implied.

They are totally different brakes

As for one outbraking another, depends on the source of the data...I believe Autoweek (or R/T) quoted the Evo as stopping 16 feet shorter from either 60 or 70mph - have to look up the article)..that is significant.
