There were 3 levels of brakes in '06, and the exact same 3 levels in '07.
- “Base” Level. These would be on any non-Z51 and non-Z06 C6. They are identical to C5 brakes (Z06 or not, the C5 Z06s just had different pads and powder coated red calipers) in dimensions.- “Z51” Level. These would be on **ONLY** C6 Z51 cars. They were not optional on non-Z51s and came on **EVER** Z51 car. They featured a slightly larger rotor (diameter and thickness) package that was cross-drilled.- “Z06” Level. These were on **each and every C6 Z06 and only on the C6 Z06.** Not optional on any other C6. They are huge and pretty looking. They suck balls.

Dude, read the sticker. There is no brake package under the options.
'07 just must have got a price-hike.

I know, plenty of my friends have 'em. The guy I got my car from sold it to buy an '06 and he had those brakes, hated them, and now runs Stoptechs.

> FWIW I can get all 4 calipers, rotors, factory pads, and the brackets to run C6 Z06 brakes on my car for ~1600. That’s far less than any other big brake answer out there. But it’s just not worth it. The pads cup, and having six per caliper front are super expensive and a massive PITA to change @ the track. The rotors were also miss-engineered (or GM just got **really really** cheap). Instead of true left and right hand rotors there is only one type. So on one side of the car the rotors turn the wrong way for the cooling veins to be effective.

then thats where I was mislead. I never thought twice about it since mine had em, but I heard somewhere down the vine that there was a package in 06. Well you just confirmed it… it was “just something i heard” by someone who was trying to justify the “price hike”
but anyway back on topic. It’s still possible to buy an 07 C6 for under $40k

now my question is. How will GM market the LS3 while still using the LS2 in their lineup. I have heard rumors the plant the LS2 is produced in is shutting down at the end of this year?

i guess thats the tradeoff to the way they are goin about things latley, with all the changes/introductions. i mean even the ls7. the ls7 is huge hype and everyone is on a high from how sweet the engine is and the new Z in general. and before the newness of the car is wore off, it is no longer the top notch, ‘super vette’ anymore. itll have to be the affordable supercar instead of the best vette yet. same goes with the engines. the stuff they just released not long ago is gonna have to be marketed differently, while they hype the new stuff…not thats its abad thing, i guess. its cool to see them actually puttin out high-powered cars.

heres my wonder? Will the Grand Prix/Impala be using the LS2? or the LS3 now?
Camaro/GTO will there still be an LS2 option along with an LS3?

i havent read anything on this, so this is a pure guess, but id say the GP/Impala get the ls2. if they do get an ls2, then i would hope that they would just eliminate the ls2 from the camaro/gto and just go with the ls3 as the v8 motor and thats it.

well supposedly the plant that produces the LS2 is shutting down shortly/or has already. Full swing production on the LS3 has already began
and those Australian Impala/GP’s are already produced… so I’m assuming theyre getting the remaining LS2’s
