This is one of those times when I cry out to god why I wasn't born rich to begin with...

Those things look mean as hell. A racecar for the street, period. 6-piston calipers, 'nough said!

Audi and Mercedes are now using 8-piston brakes on some of their cars. The RS6 from Audi, and many of the AMG cars from MB are now using 8-pots. Having 6-piston brakes is nice, don't get me wrong, but today in the automotive world, its just average on the "WOW" factor.

They used a lot of parts direct from the GT500 racecars. Tell me that doesn't generate some "wow" factor.

The car, sure. The car is a great piece of work. Great engine, great suspension, lightened body work, everything. I was just talking about the brakes. While 6-piston calipers are nothing to get upset with, especially when they are clamping 14.5" rotors. I was just saying that with a decent ammount of cars now showing up with 8-piston calipers and over 15" rotors, it doesn't have quite the same amazement factor it would have 6-8 years ago. Thats all. The car is sweet. Very well sorted and put together package.
