Default Brake question-C6 or Wilwood brakes?

Need some help in deciding my front brake upgrades. I have stock 2002 Trans Am brakes front/rear on stock spindles/original hubs. The car will be tracked at once/twice a year eventually, and I'd like to upsize the front brake to handle track duty. Wheels are 18"s (coming).

At this time, I'm trying to decide between C6 set up from Kore3 or go with Wilwood's 6 piston/13" discs. I don't want to decide on one to find out it's not up for track use. DaleTx was using Baer Track (Corvette based), but my understanding is he is upgrading to Wilwood's 6 piston calipers.

Pros of C6: factory support, compatible with AFX spindle (which I may upgrade to later). Cons: 2-piston design -> not sure if up to track duty. Z06 brakes maybe an option, but have to use spacers on my new wheels to clear the calipers.

Pros of Wilwood set up: 6 pistons Aero6 calipers, 2-piece rotors. Cons: may not compatible with AFX spindle without purchasing the adapter brackets?

Any thoughts/suggestions?
