I slowed down from 162 recently and though the stock M5 brakes were fine. But I do love speed and accept that a Tesla Plaid would get there much faster. 152 trap is no joke. The record for a tuned, modded stock motor stock turbo F90 is 144-145. 7 mph difference is 10 feet per second. The Tesla would pass you in about 1.5 seconds and run away, until the speed limiters kicked in or gearing or power or drag. I will say the F90 is confidence inspiring at 160, and while I have not driven a Tesla past 111 mph, I have read that they are floaty at high speed. Maybe a software update exists to fix that.
