I need to do some research on the CC brakes.... Seems like it could get very expensive using this beast as a DD.
I wouldn't want to DD those tires either.... A second set of wheel and tires would be needed. Don't get me wrong I am absolutely impressed with the Z/28. I just think it's a little to hardcore for ME. I'm sure there are people that will DD it but they probably have A LOT more money than I do. |

One rumor out there is the LS7 Z/28 may be only a one model year run because the special conditions that allow the sale of the LS7 expire in 2014. I expect the LS7 to continue to be built on the new facility as a crate motors for years to come.

I went to a cubbies game once. It cost me $40 to park my car. The people sitting around me drank white wine, ate quiche, took a million pictures of the historical landmark and had no clue the home team was losing from the start. They had a cubbies experience
BTW: Cubs 1 Dodgers 10 No one seemed to care. |

Track use wear of the rotors will be wholly dependent on drivers braking style, track configurations run, ambient temps and critically- warm up, cool down laps. Thermal shock is a strong determinant of wear rate with ceramics. I've got approx 125 track days, all on either carbon-ceramic or carbon-silicon-carbide rotors. Personally would not want to ever track a car with steels for a variety of good reasons (rotating/unsprung weight reduction, no black dust, no warping. no fade, etc etc.). Bit of pron attached from one of my builds. |

Damn!!!!!!
Damn!!!!!!!! Coincidentally I just posted some detail on a potential brake package for the 5th Gen that the Z/28 may rain on. In our efforts to stay ahead of the Camaro TEAM (which isn't easy ) I have been speaking with Brembo for about 18 months about killer brakes for the 5th Gen. The calipers need to be a step below a full racing brake so they can be used on the street. (Full racing brake calipers are high maintenance.) The GT-R Caliper is spot on. It has no exterior dust seals to over heat and disintegrate. Is machined from a block of billet aluminum. SS Inserts to insulate the piston from the heat of the backing plate. The calipers will work with iron or composite rotors. They have a new composite rotor that does not need to be replaced when scratched like the OE CF rotors. If you have driven a ZL1 you will understand what I am about to say. My lasting impression of a ZL1 is the brakes are beyond ridiculous. You feel like you can stop on a dime from ANY speed. |
