Are you sure that the one LE on the ZL1 doesn’t come with a sunroof a dealership was trying to sell me one with a sunroof. Were they trying to scam me?
I'm not sure if you know but there is actually a another company out there that makes a kit for our cars and there are called electron motorsports based in Mooresville North Carolina and they actually have two-piece front and rears I've been looking into them and I will try to get more information but I've been considering this as an upgrade due to the two-piece designed for the rears
I have not watched the entirety of the video throughout but I do have a question, It may have been answered but I noticed You said DBA rotor rings But reusing the OEM hat. Do you know if there's any significant improvement with the DBA hat and rotor kit? For whatever reason it's $50 more KNS brakes has two options for the DBA ring not sure if it's worth an extra $50 or not But that means I would have to buy the DBA kit first just like giro disc
So I watched the rest of the video however I don't think you understand what I'm getting at with my question. There are two products from DBA rotors. Option 1 is just the replacement rotoring utilizing you reusing the factory aluminum hat and that cost $337 per ring Option two, DBA offers a replacement rotor ring but only fits the DBA rotor hat, which means you have to have the full DBA rotor kit in order to use that specific replacement ring. But that specific replacement ring for some reason is $387 My question pertains to is there a specific difference between the rings and do they offer any more durability lightweightness what is it exactly that causes the same replacement rotary ring except utilizing the DBA hat to be $50 more does that make sense?@@RacingforALS
Some say Clarkson’s genius is so powerful, that it creates it’s own gravity, and if he was an annoying 13 year old girl with certified donkey brains, he’d spend all his time yelling at vegetablists.
I replaced my brake fluid with Motul MTL100949 8068HL RBF 600, and after one full day of track day (brakes got really hot that day) and 2 autocross rides the brake fluid is pretty dark again. How often do i need to change my fluid on my 2018 1ss 1LE camaro?
I do not recommend Motul 600 or Motul 660 for track day driving. I've seen it cause problems for multiple cars and lead to brake fade. When people switch to Castrol SRF, all their problems go away. I've also heard good things about Endless and Brembo fluid, but I have exclusively run Castrol SRF for six years without a single complaint.
@@RacingforALS Damn mate sorry to hear that. I see you woke her up tho!! Ima have ta upgrade heads she does have alil work done but still in my mind dropping a value
Great video. To solve the cracking issue go to gloc r10. If you're doing time attack r8 is good. If doing more than 3 hot laps r12. R16 will kill rotors like hawk 70s I was killing rotors with hawk 70s. I'm running r12 and just all around better pads. I'm c7z so a little lighter. I kept replacing with stock rotors but the c7z has the same size as the Giro disc stock. So the Giro is actually better than oem in that size. But camaro down sizes to c7z when switching to Giro. Thanks again for the video
Awesome video. Really shows the differences in the manufacturers despite them all looking like 'big rings of iron'... I see where the extra $$ comes in on the Giros; getting to that weight/performance ratio is definitely hypercar engineering ...however I also see where DBA shines. I'm curious about the performance benefits 'on track', at the end of the day the rotors are also part of a system - wonder how the brake points/lap times differed?
I did not notice major performance benefits with the rotor ring changes. Obviously, less rotational mass will have some benefit. Unless you are racing in competition, then reliability and lower costs should be the primary consideration. I did notice more pad taper with the Girodisc than the DBA or factory rotors, which leads to premature pad replacement.
I don't know why you didn't state the tire difference sizes. They are WAY bigger on the LE's than the ZL1's. Also, you basically equipped the LE's looks on a ZL1. It's a bit dishonest. For the price, the LE package is a way better buy. Whenever you're getting into HP numbers past 500, your concern should be controlling.

SS1LE owner here and an engineer. I always dismissed the open hood cai dyno comparisons which neglects the heat soak during operation with hood down. I know K&N, AFE and Green drop in filters are pretty good with the downside of filtration efficiency in the long run and maf sensor problems due to too much oil application during service intervals.
The best looking and most functional ZL1 race car I’ve seen so far is the one Patience Metal Fabrication built. Their cage is insane and the swing is so dang cool.
Those DBA are absolute tanks. Would rather run those than giro’s. I ran giros on my c7z and they had uneven heat issues if I didn’t slowly warm them up I think because they were thinner and cooled off faster on long straights
Have you used stock rotors with race pads? I would be very curious on the longevity of DBA vs OEM. I had to replace my OEM rotors after 12 track days. 9 of those were at Road America. 6 of the 9 days at Road America were on 1.11s (which I am also moving away from to GLOC. Had a great experience with R16s at NCM.). The other 6 were on OEM pads.

I would stick with the factory alignment specs with periodic checks for street driving. The original factory alignments are notoriously bad, so I would get it checked even if you don't notice accelerated tire wear.
I went with the ZL1 cuz even when i do get out onto Road America, I'm not trying to set lap times. I just enjoy the day. I do get to the drag strip more often and there, I'm getting after it as hard as i can. I like my magnetic ride. 2023 ZL1.
