Carbon Ceramic brakes

Do you anticipate CC brakes being an option?

I DONT think they should be included lol. I don't think they want another Z28 repeat. But I do think a package including them would be awesome. Like the Z07 for the vette. Or maybe an "R" package

Wow, i just researched these brakes, i had no idea these were so expensive, so the z28 would be a little over 62 k without these brakes. 62k is a more reasonable price for a z28.

The cars being tested in Germany have two piece steel rotors. A good sign that they will not be CC.

Will not be CC standard. But why not optional?

We may see them as a option. I think it would be cool to have them as an option. That a way if you wanna spend the money or not you can get them.

I'm no expert and I don't own one but I was under the impression the carbon brake system was one of the major reasons the Z/28 could drive deeper into corners to carry more speed, with major respect also to the suspension and other changes made performance wise to make it a track demon.

So we had carbon brakes and they have carbon fiber wheels and I'm interested to see how it shapes up in a shoot out at VIR and Laguna Seca.

Either don't offer them, or make them an option, or part of a high performance track package.

If they do bring Carbon Ceramic brakes I do hope they offer them as optional equipment. I would guess they would be a $6000 to $8000 option. The steel two piece rotors on my ZL1 are more than adequate on my ZL1 on the track. A more skilled driver might want CC brakes but for everyday driving and occasional track use, the two piece steel rotors are fine plus they save a lot of money if you do not need them.

But I want CCB's. I'm hoping for the option and will shell out the cash. Ford went with the carbon fiber wheels to reduce rotating mass. Let's see what GM has up their sleeve.

I stopped the latest video at 1:49. There is no shine from the rotor, which would lead me to believe there is some carbon ceramics being tested

And they are much larger in diameter compared to the next car in the vid which is being speculated as a 1LE

I don't think will see them in the 2 cars in the videos from last week, but look for them to come out as part of the Z/28, in 2-3 years.

I am a big fan of options but every car that has them standard tends to be out of my price range @ msrp. with the exception of the GT350R but I can't find an allocation at MSRP so then even it is out of my league price wise currently.

I like how the z06 has the Z07 package for the people who can afford 90k cars but still has the 78k base car without.
