That's not due to steel vs. CCF rotors.
Look more into better brake lines and fluids aside your typical
Brake pad fade and reaching out of temperature zones.
A quick fixer upper is better brake lines, fluid and looking into a better
Pad for the track along with brake duct system.

Oops! You're right. I got my models mixed up a little bit. BTW I still think the LT5 is the coolest engine GM ever had. Even if it was made by Yamaha.

Not sure how I managed to mistake Yamaha for Lotus Engineering.

Makes sense, thanks for the insight

I agree with that one. Its a track car, yes. But some people like to have these to daily drive and CC isn't necessary.

IMO

ZL1 is for daily driving....

Z/28 is for track performance...that's its sole purpose. Build it without compromises to performance, and customers can take it or leave it. They only build a 1000 or so a year, anyways.

You have your opinion, I have mine. So if that's the case, leave out the passenger and rear seats, no insulation or hoodliner, etc, because that weight is all a compromise to performance, right? Put on full race tires, uber-lightweight wheels, fuel cell, and cage and voila! You have a no-compromise Z/28 that is solely track focused.

If the Z/28's ONLY purpose would be full on race duty then it becomes another COPO and not street legal.

So, if GM wants to go that way, then so be it.

But - IF they are going to offer a streetable version of this car, it should have the ability to be street enjoyable to a minor degree (Carbon brakes delete, Radio, AC, Auto, and Cruise options).

IMHO...

Certainly wasn't calling your opinion wrong...Camaro team/Al seem to have a more focused view of the Z/28, and I was expressing that. They said much to that effect when it came out...Mark Stielow had one job: Make it go fast on a road course.

It also has to be street-legal and a Camaro...

Carbon brakes don't harm the street ability of it...?
