Kyle,

Would not feel ashamed, Vettes are pretty well set up cars stock and do great on track so not a bad option.. Plus rotors and pads can be had for cheap..


Don't have any answers for you but keep us updated,
Alex

Whats the piston area on the front and rear calipers? Don't forget the Corvette is a front heavy car so the bias reflects that. What size m/c does the 'vette use. Does this model still dispense with the servo usually found? There is no harm in mixing and matching rotors and calipers but you will need to be aware of the mounting dimensions to determine whether they are suitable since $900US is a lot of money to waste. What about parking brake? how does the 'vette provide for that?
