Does a C5 need its brakes upgraded? Does a
bear, well, you know? Seriously, C5s have very good braking systems
installed at the factory--the latest iteration PBR two-piston calipers
and 12.6 x 1.26-inch vented rotors up front, with single piston units
and 12.6 x 1.27-inch vented rotors at the aft end, and a Bosch
four-wheel anti-lock system. It was excellent in 1997, and it's good
enough six years later to be used on all C5s including the Z06.
Magazine tests on "regular" C5s have garnered 60-0 stooping distances
in the range of 116 to 125 feet
(on the Goodyear Eagle EMTs, i.e.
run-flats), and similar tests on Z06s, with their superb (non-run-flat)
Goodyear SCs and otherwise, except for red powdercoat on calipers,
identical brakes show stops from 60mph in 103 to 116 feet.


Yes,
C5s stop very well in real world
, everyday type situations. But subject
them to severe usage, like lapping sessions during an open track event
or a high-performance driving school
, and you will experience brake
fade. That's an unpleasant (and potentially ugly) circumstance when the
brake components get too hot from repeated hard applications, and it
takes more and more pedal effort to get less and less brake function,
right up to that orifice-puckering moment that you press the brake
pedal firmly and it sinks down to the floor--without slowing down you
and your four-wheeled projectile one iota. No brakes is no fun!

Voila. Circuit = upgrade et route = no nead to upgrade!!
