Brembo's
I got to say how much I love the brake system on the ZL1. Today I picked up my car from getting the clear bra installed. I was going through a small town. I was not speeding whatsoever, in this town you couldn't if you tried. I was watching a little boy, maybe 4 or 5 running in front of his mother on the sidewalk. At the last second he ran out into the street, right in front of me. I slammed on the brakes and in the blink of an eye I was stopped. The boy looked up at me and jumped back. I didn't move til his mother caught up and literally drug his a** across the street. She didn't even say thanks, just glared at me, for not killing her son. I truly believe that if I was in any other automobile that I have ever driven I would've hit and god forbid possibly killed him. So at least for me I want to thank GM for the great brakes, it saved a boys life.

To me one of the most important things on any vehicle are incredible brakes it's mice that the ZL1 comes with them from the factory and the SS is only a front upgrade away from being incredible too. The stockers aren't too shabby on the SS as it is. Equally important in my humble opinion is tires. Get those two squared away with a killer suspension before the power upgrades come into play.
Thank God nothing happened to the boy and as typical the Mom felt it was your fault... SMH |

Darwin is foiled, but your bumper is spared.
