Correct. Brakes are typically have their braking force or “power” rated in horsepower , and most OEM braking systems have 3-4 times the power of the drivetrain in terms of horsepower. So your average 500hp sport coupe will have a braking system rated at least 1500-2000hp.

It’s why I shake my head every time I hear about an accident regarding stuck throttles and the driver stating not being able to stop :facepalm.
