Z51 Brake pads (again)
Just saw this on TechLink:
Corvette Service Notes
Brake Pads
For 2006, a new brake pad is introduced on the Z51 Corvettes for reduced operating noise. It is quieter than the pad used in 2005.
TIP: Use European specification brake pads for autocross competition. However, operating noise will be noticed with these pads.

I assume the e-spec pads are the same as the original 2005 model. Interesting that they recommend them for auto-X - sounds like somebody thinks the original pads are still better than the new ones.
