Get ceramic pads. Get Aftermarket chrome wheels. Take off the Titanium exhaust system and replace it with the run of the mill performance exhaust systems out there. And while your at it take it to a body shop and have the roof cut off. Beter yet trade your Z06 for a convertible.
You guys miss the whole point of the Z06. This a factory race car. Every thing on it is designed for high performance. I take great pride in the brake squeel when I pull up to a light, especialy if there is a mustang or other suposedly high performance car sitting there. From the squeel anybody who knows performance cars knows there is some serious stopping power in that squeel, and you don't need serious stopping power if you don't have serious get up and go power.
These cars are the real deal. Light and fast and ready to give even the highest dollar exotic cars a real run for there money. In this day and age of corporate fear of law suits and government regulation, we should be dam glad that GM had the guts to build us a car like this. We should be glad the brakes squeel because we know that those true high performance minded engineers working on this car didn't compromise high performance for esthetics even down to the brakes.
