Your theory is wayy to broad. If you put 8inch MPSC's on a 3000lb civic with stock brakes........it AINT gonna brake faster than 3200lb GT3 with the same tires.
Actually the electronic systems on thise AWD cars do alot for braking. Some of them control the stability of the car, which in turn allows for more consistentcy (less modulation) while braking.

OH REALLLLY? you know for a fact haha. I bet that MPSC's on a silly civic with GT3 levels of front end dive would stop much quicker.
The electronics will keep the car more stable under breaking, sure.
DSG doesn't affect accelleartion at all. It affects the time it takes to shift, and will increase the amount of time on throttle over the course of a lap. Tires are still the single greatest thing that affects a lap time mate... because it helps in braking, cornering, and exit speed.
