Default Characteristics of Corvette's Brembo Calipers

The original question is here.

spearfish25 asked:
How do the Z06 Brembo brake calipers compare to Brembo's retail offerings? Are the calipers altered or engineered by GM in any way to tailor them specifically to the Z06? Are there any specific differences between the OEM supplied Brembos and the retail versions?

Default HD Radio for '18 But Removed For '15-'17

The original question is here.

FYREANT asked:
In the 2014 release of the C7 we had HD radio as a standard feature. In years 2015, 2016, and 2017, HD radio was discontinued. Now, HD radio is making a return to the C7 with the 2018 release. Can you let us know why the 2015-2017 releases did not have HD radio and if any improvements have been made with the 2018 re-release of the HD radio feature in the C7?

Could you tell us about the evolution of run-flat/ZP tires, the reason why they are standard equipment on Corvettes, and the challenges faced from an engineering stand point?
