It is strange that magazines have not complained of it, but then again they only seem to run a few laps. Also, kind of suprised the issue isn't taken care of with the stock setup, considering the lenths they went to cool other components of the car.

Its not strange if you know how these automotive and publishing companies operate and pay the bills.

Well I guess thats it, as real world as it gets without biased reviewers. I wonder how this is going to get spun around.

How did the ZL1 experience heat soak but GT500 didn't? This is very disappointing.

Can anyone confirm that the GT500 had operational brakes after one lap?

I would imagine that Erik from Torq can, as he was driving the ZL1. Driver of the GT500 reported no brake fade issues, but why would anyone believe him?
