Sometimes, our fellow Corvette owners ask the silliest things!
I posted some video's last summer from a track day we had at Autobahn. I was running my 330 and the C5 I had at the time...
this was just a clip of my brakes glowing under braking in slow motion... Just today someone asked a question in the comment section that that just leaves me shaking my head...
Here's the video and the comment/question below...

Maybe I'm just being too harsh...

You can never be too harsh!
Obviously a young person who probably is not going to get a new C6...

Of course you realize some blinging will come up with a kit to do that now.

If you can, you should give the guy a link to a video of the C6.R with the brakes glowing red and tell him that you have the same LED kit.

Just to clear things up folks, it wasn't LED's at all. It was neon

I'm surprised that the brakes on get that hot at Autobahn. Nice video.

See what happens when you get better exit speed!
Yeah I was a bit suprised myself, especially since they were just street pads... But I'm pretty hard on my brakes...
TedDBere - Thank you very much for dressing up this thread so nicely!!
