Pulled the trigger on a C8 Z06

[Speedy!]

170 has smaller calipers / rotors for weight reduction and what I guess are a standard pad vs the road course oriented pad on the Hellcat. I get zero dust on my wheels on the 170. Brake performance has been great, even hauling it down at almost 150MPH at the end of the 1/4 mile.

What’s different about the 170 pads? Powerstops definitely don’t stop as good as the stock ones

Good question/observation.

It doesn't make any sense whatsoever that the highest performance model comes with "smaller standard" brakes but performs just as well and doesn't leave any dust.

I personally know a 170 owner, I'll ask him about it directly. I'll let you know what he says ...
