I read somewhere the transmission is a modified Tremec 3160.

A little late to the party it seems lol.

yea, I know one can kill near anything.

Especially Jeremy!

yeah...

I do know that all things being equal no one is going to convince me that steel is better than carbon. Aside from cost.

Yea, this is probably the reason I won't be doing carbon. The rotors are thousands of dollars a set and they don't last long.

The rotors last ~100k miles on street, and ~12-14 track days according to zr1 people, but the pads are also $400 a set compared to $150 so in the end it is a toss up on cost. They work out to almost the same. At least with the GM setups that is.

 

[GallopingFord]

how much are a set of rotors? $3K $4K? I haven't looked

Vorshlag just posted about the camera rotors being used up after a single weekend event and being 10k for all four corners. Yowza.

Holy crap!!!!! I don't have deep enough pockets to run that stuff!!!!!!!!

I doubt the single weekend deal is the norm, but those rotors are fragile compared to steel or iron. I doubt they're as long lasting at the track

It's probably the norm if you're fast. How many fast people do you know who are easy on their brakes? I know...none...

Back to the "is it a two-piece?" question- it's a pin-drive two piece rotor- depends on the exact design on the pins to tell whether or not the rings are replaceable...I know not from looking at the pictures.

BMW uses them a lot, nice stuff-

From the E92 M3-

And just since we're on the topic, here's my favorite "carbon brakes picture" ever

 

[modernbeat]

A lot of those OEM two-piece rotors are not built so you can replace just the friction ring and keep the hat. They are one-use rotors and you replace the hat and ring together.

Frigging F1 FTW.

That's what I figured from the pics

Set of corvette rotors are $4500

Enough about brakes! I wanna know when these things are gonna come out and for how many years are they planning on making them.. cause who knows they may decide to throw some better stuff at it for the second go around.. God I wish they would put an auto with a paddle shift in it!!

That would be awful for track racing.

Now a sequential transmission is something I could get behind hehehe

We can do that for the S197. It's not difficult, but it is a little spendy. Expect it to be $30k+ installed.

I've seen that setup for the 6060/T-56 in the Corvette. Sweeeeeeettttt!!!
