Good god, I feel like the brakes in my 03 stop pretty damn well. Bet that would pop your eyeballs out
Do you need a platinum ticket for that option?
Even with ABS programming, those brakes look capable of outperforming the grip of the tire. Just WOW.
Also, if you have to ask the price of a brake job you cant afford that car. Lol

Did the same brakes come on the 2020 GT-500, Nick?
Yep If you are using the thing to its potential on track you better have a lot of throw away money for consumables
Wonder how much of a difference it makes swapping those to carbon rotors
Not a Fiesta ST.
really at the price point of the car, it would seem to me that 5,000 would be well spent there vs additional power. Anything to shave some weight off.
What at that price point has Carbon Fiber rotors?
The Z/28 did and the C7Z had the option. But anyway, carbon ceramic rotors aren't worth having on a road course anyway.

Right, I was just going to point out that at that price range very few cars had them as an option anyways.
It would be stupid to increase the cost of consumables that much just to go out and track it....AND the weight would be negligible for 99% of anyone.
Agree 100%.
MERICA
I don’t mean from Ford, I mean from someone that’s going to use the car. I wonder what would produce better lap times and maybe more noticeable feel for 5k. Typical power mods or something like the rotors. If I’m spending close to 100k on a car I’m not batting an eye at a 5k mod.
just to be upfront I have zero experience with them on cars at a track but on bikes at the track they were a significant change. Maybe it doesn’t cross over the same for cars.
Very cool brake package. I assume it needs brakes that big to stop the car from triple digit speeds in a reasonable distance considering it weighs as much as as a regular cab F150.
Are they a major consumable? What’s the life span of ceramic rotors in a track setting assuming pads are mitigated properly?
You would pick up 10x's the performance by putting a set of slicks on the car for $2000.
Absolutely. Weighing over 4000#, and depending on the track, I bet you could burn through a set of rotors in as little as ten 20 minute sessions.
