On one hand I shed tears when I see these pictures. On the other...

build count = 2049, 2048, 2047, .........

Two of the same 1LE sandwiched - from the forum...

These pix help the discussion around rarity of these cars. I now know there are two less Red Hot 2014's

I don't know what you mean by "better"

If you are talking about stopping distance, the tires have more to do with that than the difference in brake set-ups between the two cars.

If you are taking about fade resistance or repeat ability that would be the brake system.

The Z/28 brakes would have added about $10k to the price of the car......and on the street, there are no brakes that can help if someone they drive beyond their limits.

Here is a comparison in Motortrend:

Braking
While brakes tend to get all the credit for stopping a car, the truth is the tires are a huge factor. No matter how big the brakes are, they won't do any good if the tire doesn't have enough grip to translate that brake force into stopping power. A better set of tires can reduce stopping distances measurably without any change to the brakes.
Here, again, you would predict the wider, stickier tire would stop better, and you'd be right. The 1LE on its stock Goodyears stops from 60 mph in 101 feet. Give it the Z/28's Pirellis and it'll stop from the same speed in a seriously impressive 94 feet.

This time, the opposite is also true. The skinnier, less sticky Goodyears can't stop quite as well. On its stock Pirellis, the Z/28 stops from 60 mph in 97 feet. On the 1LE's Goodyears, the Z/28 stops in 100 feet. No special explanations here. The Pirellis simply have more grip under braking.

That is seriously the worst I have seen one. Very glad no serious injuries.

I want the hood from that one!

H, I thought the cat scratches and swirls in my paint were bad.
