| There're pretty quick cars, the 6er is impressive number wise. I don't like that I couldn't visually tell the base car from the V8 car. |

We just got an RS at my dealership. It's got the six. Kinda looks cool. Comfy with large blind spots. HUGE car though.
Another thing, I looked at prices for the brakes (yeah, big surprise, right?!) and they're CHEAP. Like $100 per caliper $100 per padset $100 per rotor.

That is if you can get your new Camaro to the track.
Brandon sent that to me.

| Woman's lucky the whole car didnt burn down. Shorting the main battery cable to ground is serious stuff. |

Depends on how you option in. I think if you get the 2SS option, you get the big Brembo brakes. With 1SS, you might get them too, I can't remeber. The V6 cars don't get brakes quite as big. |

If I order a set, will you bring your 'maro up so I can test fit? I like the black w/red lettering a bit more than the silver w/ black V- logo. |

lol, you have bigger wheels, they may not fit on mine. 
Do you have any pictures of the mounts on them? I thought they were different than the GenI CTS-V calipers. If anything they are closer to the Z06 you have, or the GenII CTS-V setup.

| I don't have any good shots besides the promo brochure and the electronic catalogs line drawings. They look like everyone other brembo mount out there that I've seen. Although like the CTS, they look like they've got incredibly long mounting legs. I'll try and attach a picture... |
