fee use to be a lot less, then SM stepped their game and hired a legit chef to run the food. that is why they moved the fee up. they have a lot more than 5 of each car, but they can't use all the cars all the time in case one breaks or needs work. With the vettes they actually buy the cars. With...

Tire deflectors are only there if you have the base aero.

i've run without the shields multiple years just fine. the smaller fronts protect the balljoints still. one event i had shields on and the pads wore out faster and i got an overheat message. never gotten the overheat with the shields off. be sure to remove the front tire deflectors if you have...

Brembo, who makes the ccb rotors for the blackwing are the ones that stated life expectancy on track is similar. CCB wear when subjected to heat and the fibers burn up. If not subjected not big heat they’ll last forever. That’s why they would go the life of the car if not tracking. If they have...

The ccb rotors have the same life expectancy on track as the iron. Per GM there is zero braking performance difference on track. The advantage is lower unsprung weight. You’ll likely be switching back to the irons. You can pay someone to clean the wheels an enormous number of times to equal the...

The tr6060 I believe is made in Mexico so it’s possible they’re waiting to import until a more favorable tariff rate happens

The lesson is to track your car more ;) on my 5 I run track alignment all the time and the outsides to wear out first. Went through a lot of tires in 15k not just one when you’re track driving though

GM spent a lot of time and went through numerous renditions to finally arrive at that TPC spec. they even removed the rear rim guard to give that much extra little bit of space for suspension travel. all of the elctro mechanical systems were programmed and optimized given that tire too.

yea its the geese. they are pretty plugged in with OEM engineers

Everyone talking about engine break in should watch this

A few things. The cars with CCB have different calibrations in the magride vs cars with steels due to the difference in unsprung weight. CCB in the BW have the same stopping performance on track & the only real advantage is lower unsprung weight on track. Per Brembo the rotor life on track for...

FWIW the engine in mine went b/c the computer leaned it out a cylinder bank when it shouldn't have. There was nothing wrong with the motor from a who built it perspective or parts failure. It was still running very strong for a motor that nuked half the cylinder rings I'll say that. Under boost...

I'm looking at Grundy now and they are saying you can only use it to drive to work at most once to month if the car is on their collector's policy

they're a completely different type of CCB rotors. watch the savagegeese video. they go into a lot of detail on the brakes. the new material in the BW is more expensive vs the c7

There was likely nothing wrong with the rotors that were on the car. I’ve abused my 5 about as much as one can at the track and can easily go 3 sets of pads before the rotors are to their minimum thickness allowed
