Ok, so I was half asleep when I wrote that... my intent was that the
engine(which can get you there faster) may be heavier, and thus a greater
weight: i.e.: momentum to overcome. I didn't mean that it is harder to stop
when you go faster, um, faster...:) Anyway- I does seem that way sometimes
tho...! (Like when you go 0-60 in a 45 zone cause you mashed the pedal too
hard, and you see a cop ahead. It takes forever to get back where you should
be!)

If you're carrying a heavier engine, and you are able to get to a higher
speed quicker, you now have the greater momentum to fight when braking.
The
car doesn't know what motor is there, but it physics knows its effect!
Heavier engine, yes. Higher speed, yes. How fast you got to the higher
speed?
NO! The laws of physics are indeed in place and functioning.
