Performance
Intense speeds, controlled stops
When a luxury sports car is capable of a test-track top speed of 198 mph, it better have impressive brakes as well. Z06 uses monoblock 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear calipers, while the extra-large 14-inch front rotors and 13.4-inch rear rotors are vented and cross drilled. And launch control is standard with the short-throw 6-speed manual gearbox. It modulates engine rpm to lay the power down more smoothly while providing consistent acceleration times on the test track. Brembo® Carbon Ceramic Brakes — a braking system that helps with performance, weight and corrosion resistance — along with the Michelin® Pilot® Cup Tires, that offer 8% more grip than the standard tires, are also available as part of the Z07 Performance Package.

I think you’ve made some truly interesting points. Not too many people would actually think about this the way you just did. I am really impressed that there is so much information about this subject that have been uncovered and you did it so well, with so much class. Thanks.
