The engine does slow down your car but with modern racing brake pads the friction goes beyond the capability of engine braking. That rotational force of the engine get to a point where the engine stop helping you brake and goes against slowing you down. Rather than just using the brakes for slowing down the kenetic energy of your car moving forward but now it also have to deal with the rotational energy of the the engine.

Please show me a dynamic analysis of your "basis" of information. Because by your theory it means that most of the motoring and motorsport industry has been doing braking advancements and balancing completely wrong. If you can't prove your data your words are worth jack. troll somewhere else

it also means that the SAE club at my university has been doing research and development completely wrong and that we have no knowledge of movement physics.
