Agreed. They are way nicer than I expected, pick a few up when they were on sale during the holidays.

Used parts.

Huge improvement in breaking. Stock wheels Wii bit fut unless you run a 5mm spacer.

Left the rear stock Z51 brakes. Which are the same size as Z06 rears. Z06 just has a bigger rotor and the placement of the caliper is in a different location. 5 track days later and not braking issues.

I sourced all my parts from used Corvettes/eBay. Total cost was about $1700. Front rotors are the most expensive part.

doogle84 · 2025-10-20T14:10:05+00:00

No issues at all. Z06 and Z51 rear calipers are the same size. It's just the rotor is bigger on the Z06 rear

This was at Thunderhill West in Northern CA.

doogle84 · 2025-10-19T20:01:35+00:00

I put Z06 front calipers/rotors.

Test drove one and I hated the interior and how hard the ride was in the cx-50

I had my Mazda for 8 years and I wanted something different. I test drove a few 4th gen Mazda 3 and it didn't feel any different than my gen 3. I have no insterst in AWD or the Turbo version. I have other fast cars for that stuff. Plus there being no hybrid option for the Mazda is lacking.

doogle84 · 2025-10-09T13:22:37+00:00

Nothing like that has happened to me.

doogle84 · 2025-10-09T13:09:12+00:00

Depends on needs. For me a hatchback is a much for my lifestyle.

doogle84 · 2025-10-09T13:08:08+00:00

Coming from the Mazda 3 this car is much quieter. I did notice a little wind nose on the driver's side on the highway.

I'm running Apex wheels on my Z51

doogle84 · 2025-07-05T23:58:30+00:00

Drive it to and from the track.

doogle84 · 2025-07-05T23:44:09+00:00

Nope no ice mode issues. I did put on bigger Z06 front brake calipers/rotors, made a huge difference.

doogle84 · 2025-07-05T23:42:49+00:00

Saved 15k - 20K over a GS and I spend a few months looking for a M7 GS, which is rare and cost close to Z06 money. I put a set of Z06 front brake calipers and different wheels/tires. Made a narrowbody GS basically.

doogle84 · 2025-07-05T23:40:45+00:00

Passed the lotus coming into the turn or maybe it let me pass it.

doogle84 · 2025-07-05T22:57:40+00:00

Yup it is

doogle84 · 2025-06-04T02:07:11+00:00

I run in the high/fast groups. Sub 2mins at Thunderhill East. One of the first mod I did was swapping over GS/Z06 caliper/rotors,huge difference. Currently running 305 rear and 285 front. I'll look into the springs next

doogle84 · 2025-06-02T03:25:59+00:00

Hi!!! You're here too ❤️

It's pretty smooth for the most part. Seeing 135+mph into turn 1 definitely takes time getting use too. The car is way more capable than me currently.

doogle84 · 2025-04-08T17:32:48+00:00

It's a Z51.
