I'm real curious...a little Devil's Advocate work, here:
- Some racing series do not allow CCM disks.
- Most racers (esp. Porsche) ditch their Carbon brakes for iron replacements for track days due to wear and price.
- They cost a ridiculous amount of money to replace...and they're brittle while servicing.
- Different compound, more aggressive racing pads are more readily available for iron brakes.
- The '14 Z/28 (with CCM brakes), at 3858 lbs, stopped from 60-0mph in
97 ft.
- The '18 ZL1 1LE (with same-sized iron brakes), at 3837, stopped from 60-0mph in
91 ft.
GM/Al have said they didn't see a benefit to using the CCM brakes in either fade resistance or braking distances, so they couldn't justify the cost in utilizing them on the car.
So why do we consider these brakes worth anything other than a party piece?
