For the street it will be fine. Can you outdrive the stock brakes?- absolutely. But i can outdrive the stock brakes on a Miata also.Bob, with your track knowledge, any thoughts on upgrading the brake system ??
On the race track I would want to baseline the stock car anyway. Live with it for a few events bone stock.
100% would want to upgrade the fluid and brake lines before the 3rd track event.
By then I am betting you are looking for upgraded pads.
Even the mighty c7 z06 you upgrade fluid and pads.
As for a big caliper and rotor upgrade- would have to weigh how much more speed and lap times would drop vs $$ On any platform- lighter means less rotational mass. going from a 4 pot to 6 pot is massive upgrade. But really unless you are a complete track rat idiot like me the juice may not be worth the squeeze.
Porsche are the only cars where you can drive from the showroom to the track and beat the hell out of it and everything is basically perfect. Even my Bmw's need pad upgrades
For my track car you don't see fancy or colorful add ons. Unless it makes my lap times drop and or lighter i don't spend the money. So on the Z unless it really improves the lap times i would wait and see- really none of us know?? None out in the wild on the track that I am aware.
