Well a quick update. After running at the glen for 2 days and using the brakes for everything they had I can say I am more than impressed. I was able to wait until the 200 marker going into 1 as well as the bus stop and go from full throttle to full brakes and I could have driven it even deeper than I did. I got them hot enough to lightly discolor the white stoptech logo on the caliper and they never missed a beat. The limiting factor was the tires, as i was able to have the tires squealing from the massive amount of braking power even when the tires had quite a bit of heat in them. I have not overlayed my data on my second day video but I am sure I was getting 1.0G braking. NYROC655 is running the exact same brake setup as I am but he is running 295 Trofeo R tires and if I recall correctly he had to bead blast the bead of his wheels due to the tires rotating on the wheel (the same issue as the z28 had in testing). Just some food for thought....

How could you tell that the tires are rotating on the wheel?

They slowly work their way out of balance. Also you can use the old method of chalking the sidewall of the tires
