^^^^^^

One of my mechanics does the brakes on Porsche's for track prepping. EVERY YEAR, they need a new set of calipers.

Step 1 for them? Replace the rotors and pads away from that carbon fiber crap.

The trade-off is you save a ton of money, and for people who really race, that is (almost) all that matters lol.

My only issue was seeing one run the 1/4 mile and only trapped 120 mph. That's considerably slower than the previous c6z06 which was in the mid to high 120s

Love reading the comments on that ****. As if this was some kind of perfect launch/run for this car, so it must be the bar.

Yes

doesn't matter if he didn't have a good launch. Trap speed is a representation of power/weight. but maybe he lifted who knows

120 is not impressive. I've seen stock c6 z06 trap 128-130...but then again it weighed 3150...not 3524

It's been tested by C&D with a 127mph trap speed I believe, so yes, I'm guessing he let off.

The owner's story sounds like he might have money shifted that thing. Be interesting to see what rpm it blew up at. I'll bet the ecu has that little tidbit.

"While making a pull from 35 mph I accelerated and shifted short of redline and boom".... Engine not even broken in yet... I wonder if GM will still honor the warranty?

*NVM, the guy is getting a brand new engine. Good thing for warranties... GM charges 24k for an LT4 crate engine.
