Sounds like he loved it. He said the brake pedal felt soft as if something was wrong (needed bleeding?), but they were massively effective nonetheless. He raved about the Corvette Grand Sport brakes too and kinda ripped the Ferrari's brakes. There's video up on the MotorTrend Facebook page. You can hear Randy's post-lap commentary in the back ground, but I couldn't hear it well.

Apparently the Nissan GT-R broke down.

Based on the footage, we could calculate how long it took for those laps. Those may not be the final laps though.

Interesting that every Camaro test says the brakes feel soft (initial bite) but they perform very well. Actually besting the competition. You'd think they would know that by now

It sounded like the guy responded that the compound used on the pads compresses? Odd!

I inaccurately timed it at a 1:34 on the first lap. A commercial popped up in the 2nd lap but I'm betting on a 1:30.5-1:32.00 on his best lap

I watched the video and that is what I got also. I checked 2nd and 3rd lap. I got 1:34, give or take a millisecond....

I am hoping that they put the DOT 4 brake fluid in the 1LE

I must say the GT350's brake pedal feel is less spongy (pedal travel), but both stop just as good. It is all in what you get used to.

That commercial got me. I thought it turned 1:34 on the 2nd and 1:14 on the 3rd.

LOL glad I'm not the only one that tried to get an idea with a stop watch.
