Standard ST220 brakes i'd have throught? Maybe upgraded calipers and disc size, but nothing i'd call "immense"
Why you think they are immense? You want to try ceramics

Breaks on a car you don't own are always better than your own

well i was crusing to work down a straight section of the A12 this morning at 70ish, the road behind was empty, and when i looked in the mirror i could see blues coming, so i pulled in, the fiesta in front obviously wasn't looking in their mirror, the ST came past me at about 120/130mph (I'd slowed down a fair bit so the fiesta got about 60ft ahead) and from when the ST came past me at silly speed, it then slowed to 70mph in a matter of feet! Oh my goshh, the noise from what i assume was ABS or something was fricking immense!!!

I think they're just normal Traffic Police but they come out of the same station as the Interceptors, and do joint operations obviously.

Yeah i supose so, but there's absolutely no chance in hell the corsa would stop even half that quick, well it wouldn't get to those speeds in the first place

Don't forget they are still new brakes compared to a Corsa, probably bled quite regularly so will be always be working on top condition
