Actually...Those exact same brakes are a $20,000 option on a Ferrari 599 (According to the Corvette Chief Engineer) 15" out back, and 15.5 up front..Carbon-Ceramic....and here is another interesting quote from the Detroit Free Press...

"It took years to develop the clearcoat for the carbon-fiber because sunlight degrades the material over time. The coating, which only the ZR1 has, uses a special additive to prevent that. The additive alone costs $60,000 a gallon, while the mixture of clearcoat and additive applied to the roof costs $2,200 a gallon."


100K is a bargain...of course, they will probably be selling for 200K+
