That interesting. I've just owned a C6Z and was under the impression all C6's were blocked off.

Daniels' soon to be released foglite ducts will BE the hot ticket for track guys. They should allow those who already have spindle ducts from the lieks of LG, Quantum, etc to have a true forced air brake cooling system.

Yeah, I had a C6 before and made the wrong assumption that the Z06 also used the front lower dam for directing air over the radiator and oil cooler. I will be very interested to hear about (and see) the foglight duct solution when it is available. Much better cooling to the front brake rotors AND improved overall down-force by removing the front air dam sounds like a win/win to me ... assuming that the price for the kit is reasonable.

is there any updates on this kit? I'm considering trying to do it on my own unless someone has a kit coming... better cooling, improved down force, AND you get rid of the fog lights! Rarely do high end cars have fog lights ie Ferrari, Aston, Lambo, Porsche etc.

They will be available prior to the 2011 track season.

I am so tired of burning thru a set of pads in two track days. This is amazing, I just bought the same blowers and duct to put where the foglights are. I never thought of using the the actual lights as a mounting point. That solves so many issues.. what a great idea.

My only question is that it would be interesting to see what you did to attach the hose to the back of the rotor.

Quantum Motorsports or LG Motorsports brake cooling kit is what your inquiring about.

Thanks CG... great info.

Charley Hoyt

Nice kit. I am very interested when it becomes available.

Love it! Great idea. I'm also wondering about the airflow differences.... and what about the air that doesn't get pulled by the old ducts... does this reduce the amount of downforce since there is more air under the car now? (anyone have a wind tunnel? )

Just read on another thread here that stated while testing the ZO6 at the Nurburgring they had to to restrict the stock brake ducts because it was the culprit of high speed lift so take that for what its worth.

I taped mine off. ( they will be covered completely with a custom splitter extension in 2011) Combine this with the removal of the lower air dam and the air just flows right under the car. I have no wind tunel data to support it but with these mods and an MTI "chin spoiler" ( Not a splitter) the car was noticably more stable at speeds over 120mph. I could notice a change in the car starting at 60-70mph.

I added a BPP diffuser later in the year ( 4 tip version) and the car is almost perfect. I'll test these next year at PPIR with some high speed banking.

...........by removing the air dam.

air-dam=pressure under nose=increased lift...... take them off for track use. I sealed off the bottom of the OEM brake duct inlets so they only feed from the front. Certain is cools and handles better, but only a few non-timed events to back that up!

I have never noticed any instability in my Z at those speeds. From 120 to 154 it is rock steady on the track.

I know this is the C6Z section, but will this vendor be making a version for the standard C6?

jls288gto

still have that hose?

CGZO6

You need the ZO6 inner brake ducts (about 10 bucks ea from Gene), modify your front wheel well liner, add the ZO6 kit and your good to go.

A better option is to get the modified ZO6 ducts with the aluminum tube added to the outlet. More $ though. They are on the site...

These cars are nice but you never know what you are missing until you try it out..

I did notice more stability with the above aero mods, I can't imagine the difference one of those crazy rear wings adds to the car.

Example: I used to brake before entering turn 1 at PPIR at 125-130mph...not anymore, I have more front downforce. As a result, high-speed turn initiation no longer has as big of a "pucker factor" in my car.


That I do not know. I'm pretty sure the front facia/foglights differ form base C6 to Z06 models. However, I do not see any reason why you could not retrofit the upper section of the C6Z to the base C6 car. Combine these parts with one of the aforementioned spndle duct kits and its better than stock.



PM sent, I'm all out.

thats what I was talking about. at the very least the C6Z OEM UPPER assembly should be able to be retrofitted to base C6 cars. Jim dillion added fresh air pick-ups from the grill inlet to his system (although it is a C6Z) and said everything is working great with no cooling issues.

Here is another option for Base C6 guys...

I'm Looking forward to this product. Any updates?
