The Ferrari also has ABS, which means all you need to do is stomp on the brake pedal; the car does the rest. Also, the Ferrari has anti-dive suspension, so when you brake hard, all four brakes contribute to stopping the car. The Pantera doesn’t have that, so when you brake hard, you get lots of weight transfer onto the front wheels. This means too much rear bias will cause the rear brakes to lock up, causing a loss of directional stability. Braking isn’t just about calipers and rotors. Balance plays a major role. Like Julian said: a slippery slope!
