2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Long-Term Road Test
Edmunds took its long-term 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to a track day at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. So how did the first session out on track go?

A Porsche Cayman is about the same $ as a Vette. Sure it is slower, but does it cook its brakes in this fashion? I'm just wondering if you get better hardware over less power for the same outlay.
Carbotech's, more than any other pad, need a dedicated set of rotors. You probably burned off 60% of your pads in one day. In addition you will now be treated to a lumpy pedal if you swap back to stock street pads.
A more hard core carbon/metallic pad (like old favorite PFC-01) can be swapped in & bedded quickly with the benefit of not fouling your rotors for your swap back to street pads.
Track days and racing, unless done in Italy during holiday, are for the great unwashed masses don't you know...
