From the G8 GXP press release...

"The Brembo braking system matches the GXP's boost in performance with an equivalent increase in stopping power. The system includes 14-inch (355 mm) vented front and 12.76-inch (324 mm) rear disc rotors, with special quad-piston alloy calipers in front. The alloy calipers on the rear brakes have single-piston actuation. The four-wheel disc brake system includes standard anti-lock brakes and traction control."

And I second the significance of the Camaro spending time on the 'Green Hell'... Personally I want to hunt down M3's and the only way to do that is with a car that has power AND handling... and it looks like the Camaro will have BOTH!

They might be using the same front brakes as they both share the same platform, but the rears are definitely different on the camaro pics. For the better I might add. So that's one of my suggestions for the car down

I am also giddy thinking of John Henricy flogging this car on the ring and helping work out its suspension. FTW !!
