60-0 is tire limited, just like 0-60.

Thank you
FYI - it is possible to drill and slot the stock rotors but the shipping back and forth becomes the killer.

Plus the Granatelli rotors are more durable than the stone version rotor on the car.

I would not drill and slot the stock rotors, they would crack after a while. Your better off spending money on a good quality set.

Please note: Some companies "over drill, slot and dimple" the rotors - more is not better and makes the rotors more prone to warpping - just more info to consider. When purchasing rotors that is the best time to consider getting stainless brake lines as well

I have drilled some rotors for customers where the application isn't special enough to have rotors for it and they have come out with good results. For the camaro the logical option is the granatelli rotors. If you think about it if you walk in to your local pArts store and get a set or replacement rotors they can run you from 50-90 bucks each. For the performance the looks and the cost it's hard to beat the granatelli rotors. I have used a few sets on customers cars and they rave about them and they look great too

And the slots is for the brake pads to have better grip to the Rotor resulting better brake performance?

So having two in one Rotor would be good?

drilled rotors are more prone to cracking under stress..thats the main disadvantage...for a dd application, it wont matter..for track use, go with dimpled/ slotted .

Lighter then stock - yes but we don't sell the like that - thee are a better material than stock. They are stronger and dissipate heat quicker - naturally a $1000 set of 3 piece rotors would reduce a bit more weight but they can’t get you better clamping force at the surface. These parts are positioned to go after the 90 percentile - the guy that wants better stopping and better looks but does not live at the track looking for every last centimeter in stopping power - the only benefit to the light rotor would be less rotating mass - as for surface tension at the pad - we feel our rotors are the best there is short of Ceramic
