That's funny. This was the EXACT same response (word for word minus z06) that the instructors at a Porsche sport driving school told my friend about their CCB rotors. He believed them, ordered...

Thanks for the info. I never knew there was a difference. So that would explain why the Chevy CCM rotors are cheaper than Porsche CCB. Given that the Porsche CCBs don't hold up well with track use...

Yes, you are right that PSM will eat your rear rotors. Given that PTV also utilizes the rear brakes, I would guess it probably adds to the rear wear as well. PSM is probably the main 'offender',...

Totally agree with you on the benefits of CCB, there's no debate there.
It's very interesting that you bring up the PTV system, because I agree that it does affect the lifespan of CCB rotors. I've...

I guess since camaros aren't driven at road courses as much as drag strips, it can be hard to believe that there are actually people out there who do road courses.

On a short track, 3 seconds is a lot of time. If you track a car, you'd know that it's big difference.

Nothing wrong with guessing about the ZL1 brakes, but I'm more interested in solid facts...

I could be. Do you have personal experience that would convince me? I'd like to know lap times that you run, which track, what kind of tires, how long, and what ambient temps were.

Do we know this for sure? 3800 pound car, multiple laps and sessions at a brake intensive track like Laguna Seca? The ZL1 brakes may fine for the first couple of laps, but what about more than...

Nope. Not here. Based on your avatar, I can see why you would want a supercharger. Forced induction is great for drag racing. On a road course, forced induction is a liability. Power delivery is...

You may be right, BUT can the ZL1 keep up the pace lap after lap reliably without overheating? A single lap is not what a track dedicated car is about.

My prediction is that the Z/28 will log a slightly faster lap time than the C7 Z51. However, I think it will be because the Z/28 has stickier R comp tires, whereas the C7 Z51 will have MPSS tires. ...

Thanks. You make a great point. Honestly, after Chevy released the pricing of the new C7 I feel like I'm leaning more towards the C7 right now. Z51 track package is $2800 on top of the 51k price. ...
