I'll try to find it. I remember it because I was surprised, having always only heard favorable comments about the brakes prior to that article. It was in something relatively recent, since they were comparing it against the '11 GT, and the flaws were noted only in comparison to the Brembo-equipped Mustang's even-better performance.

EDIT: spent some time looking for it; no luck yet.

I kissed 100 mph, on the short course we used at the ACC. I also was in excess of .9 G on some corners. The car was so composed, with more left to give. As easy as driving to the grocery store. Great job GM on this fantastic car!!!

Gotta go......

SO when does the vid hit Youtube?

Y'know that probably helps in the feel department alot as well, I know on the S-197 when you really clamp down on the brakes the rear end feels like it wants to swap ends - I've never had it happen, but it just feels that way when your really hitting the brakes hard at really high speeds (I'm talking like 140 or 130 to 60 or 70 mph as fast as you can).
