Default brake performance

Just a quick question. Does anyone know the braking speed of the 996 911 versus the E46 M3?

Having just come from an M3, the brakes feel very different, and I wanted to know what the performance of the brakes were side by side.

M3 has a suprising 112 feet to 0 from 60 where as the porsche has 119 feet, although you wont find much fade in the porsche brakes after repeated use

After driving the 911 for a while and hoping back into the M3, the M3's brakes felt much more "touchier."
