I took this pic today of Tony's car with Wilwood Integras:


and we offer the same for your C6Z:

yea those are monsterous
I love looking at the drawings on the Wilwood site

How do you handle the master cylinder size?

ghoffman

They offer different piston sizes. Many companies talk about races that they won, but 3600 pound cars with 900 HP running 500 miles for 36 races is a tough thing to be called Champion at...

I thought you'd settled on the PFC Grand-Am calipers, Gary?

ghoffman

The PFC calipers fit within the stock wheels, they work terrific and have .84 thick pads in 4 compounds . These Wilwoods cost a little more and the pads are 1.12 thick but there is no way they will fit the stock C6Z wheels. They are both made in USA and are both first class and it is nice to know you can have the same equipment as Tony Stewart! I really just wanted to make John drool!

He's not the only one you made drool You need to put a not-work-safe warning on something that pretty

would those fit behind the new CCW Wheels?

ghoffman

Absolutly, John's wheels can fit with lots of clearance! Actually if you have these CCW's on your C5 you can have the same setup. We make the adapters already.

hmmmm....thinking long term here...move the SL-6R calipers to the rear and something like that up front

They worked well enough for a 2nd place at the Nextel Cup race at NHIS today. The #20 car was really braking hard into turn 3 where I was sitting. I know alot of you guys don't like NASCAR, but they are really flying there.

I didn't think that they used brakes in NASCAR.

ghoffman

At some tracks like Martinsville and NHIS there is no harder test of brakes in all of racing. At NHIS these 3600 pound cars do 160-170 MPH down to about 90 MPH every 15 seconds 600 times (2x per lap, 300 laps, 30 second lap times) during the race. Martinsville, VA is even worse. They cannot change pads, or fluid so thermal management and thick pads are a necessity.

do they use the recirculating/self-bleeding system on those cars?

ghoffman

I know Ken Schrader did a few years ago and got fined for it, so I don't know if the rules permit it. They all would if it is allowed I am sure.
