They fade and are susceptible to warp more than they should imo. I live near a lot of back country roads where I'm able to push the car without risking lives (besides mine of course) and have hit the fading point a bit earlier than I hoped. My other vette, a C6 gen, has modded pads and rotors, seems to have a higher fade point, given the pads are street, not track.
On my 17 GS and 18 Z06, I thought it was brake fade, and they felt warped. After getting some driving coaching, I don't think the pads or rotors are an issue. Consider changing the way you use the brakes.
Anyway, back on topic. I can't stop thinking about driving mine.

Nice to see a positive thread on this great car. There is a tendency to post negativity on any car Forum. These are fantastic cars to drive with plenty of power. After enduring the 70's and 80's I never thought we would see the day that we could buy cars with 650 or more horsepower. These are the good old days Had mine for over a year and 7,000 miles and love the car.

Some guys get all the breaks...
And if there is a wing delete, I will sacrifice both the '17 Z and the '17 GMC Denali crew cab to buy one once the initial "gotta have it price be damned" bunch buys one. In a convertible of course .......... The Harley's are safe.
