Funny you need the GT-R Vspec to get decent brakes on a Nissan.

The ZR1 has had FXX brakes as stock since day 1

lol, great interview, he asked the right questions in a very polite manner. Also that goes about one quarter of the way to explain the mega expensive brakes replacement rumor i had posted elsewhere, and confirms that you do have to take it to the dealership before and after track usage, otherwise bye bye warranty. I can't get my head around that one.

No - the ZR1 has Enzo front brakes on the rear wheels, and FXX front brakes on the front wheels.

Just face it, everyone copies the Corvette

The 599 uses the suspension/shocks from the ZR1 hehe

Funny how you need a $100,000 Chevy to get decent brakes.

Come on, you can look at that from both angles. You can also say, funny how you need a 4th upgrade to get decent brakes on a corvette (see:C6, C6 Z51, C6 Z06, C6 ZR1). I mean come on.

and GM had to ask Ferrari, which means they are Ferrari brakes on a Corvette, therefore, they are Ferrari brakes on a Nissan. Whats with all the hate?

Well the brakes are Brembo, not Ferrari (but probably developed with Ferrari), and the mag ride is Delphi not Corvette (but a subsidiary of GM so you probably can give that one to GM)

But it does get kind of annoying that whenever Mag Ride is mentioned on any other car other than Ferrari, they say "it's like the trick dampers you find one Ferrari's". The C5 RS6 even had them before Ferrari, and the Vette before that.

Standard C6 Stops in under 120 ft
Z06 stops in under 110 ft
ZR1 stops in even less 60-0 mph.

Just what kind of braking performance are you talking about the vette lacking?
