Default 350,000$ for a ZR-1

it's already fetching 350,000 dollars, some corvette fans may feel a little violated

I guess.. or just wait for the parts to be available in GM's parts list for a discount

Besides, those bling Enzo brakes are really no good without the giant 20" wheels... which severly limit your tyre choices.

For non-competition track work, those brake systems are a total waste of money.. and are not called "Big Brag Kits" instead of "Big Brake Kits" for nothing

For the price, they offer no more stopping power or longivety than regular iron brakes

The bottomline is that unless you have a million dollar prize on the line and need the last 1000000000th of a second they are only for bling and bragging rights unless they happen to be stock on your ride

The irony is that on Porsche, whom has had PCB brakes as an option for the longest time, many owner downgrade to iron brakes for track duty...

The maintenance on carbon caramic brakes is very expensive.

ZR1 not ZR-1. Thought someone was really crazy to pay that much for a C4 Corvette from the '90's.


From Barrett-Jackson 2008. It sold at auction for a million, so 350k sounds like a discount.
If anyone wants to complain about the interior, I took picture of the inside.
