No. The tires are what stop the car, not the brakes. Obviously this also means that sport package cars will outbrake the non-sport models...at least so long as they're both running factory spec tires.

Both the 325 and 330 have brakes that are far more than capable of exceeding whatever sort of traction the tires will give you. It is possible (if not likely) that the 330's larger pads and rotors experience slightly less fade under repeated use (friction load is distributed over a larger surface area), but fade should be of no issue under normal conditions on the street. The pads used in both cars are not suitable for track use, anyway.
