Brakes?
#2
My guess is that if we see a 550HP version like has been rumored, then it is a pretty good bet that it will have at least similar brakes to the C6 Z06. With 550HP they can't just use the standard brake kit.

When I saw the Vert Concept in K.C. it looked to already have 4 piston calipers. "Regular" Corvettes also have 4 piston calipers. Z06's have 4 piston rear and 6 piston fronts.
Six pistons kind of sound like overkill..........but I guess some people might see 500+HP as overkill too.

From the pics I saw, they looked like 4 piston. And besides, my '66 has 4 pistons, so I guess I kind of assumed that C6's would have the same. I guess technology has more to do with braking effectiveness than number of pistons.
I stand by my Z06 6 in front and 4 in back statement though as that came directly from the Corvette site.
