You don't want the Z06 rotors, they are junk.

if you read whats in teh link that I provided on the first page, you would know. You seem to be too busy defending yourself instead of listening.

I find this funny, on a differnet forum, I find you giving peope this advice, sounds just like what we are telling you, but for some reason you don't like hearing it.

"
Just a question? What is the most powerful car you have driven or been in?? 1000 hp is NOT childs play. It may sound like a nice easy roung number, but that is serious power. I rarely ever use my power. On the street I only use about 700 hp of it tops! Even 700 hp is hard to control, I would sure hate to always have to worry about shifting not to mention that you will ALWAYS be spinning the tires and shifting in the middle of a controlled slide could be a little dangerous!! .......
I am not trying to shoot you down in any way, I am just offering the best advice I can give to make your life a little easier and cheaper."

But you do have a legitimate question, and IMO you have recieved a TON of good info on both your brake/suspension and some really good info on trackdays etc. Hey you must already know everything, I mean even if every single person posting on this thread says the same thing, hey who cares, thats not the info you asked for, right?

probably won't fit with his 17" wheels, and plus the problem with the Z51 rotors is the same as the Z06 which is the fact you can only get 2 left hand side rotors. The right side is not going to cool very well due too the vents being faced backwards. Plus they are crossdrilled. THey should be good for a street car, but for a track where you see 150mph repeadetly I would stay away from them. Actually I would stay away from them for any track time. 6, 20 minute sessions in one day will toast an inadequate rotor if you are pushing it at all.
