C5 Brake Pedal Ratio?
What is the brake pedal ratio on a stock C5 Corvette?

I asked this on the corvetteforum about a year back and got a couple different people to say 3.5:1

That seems close to the 3.35 ratio I quickly calculated on my 2nd Gen Camaro. I will have to pull my pedals out of storage and double check my calculations though.

After pulling the pedals out of storage, it looks like the ratio is more like 3.3 to 1. I hope this works out ok.

My 71 Camaro pedal ratio is closer to 5.2:1 (manual brake setup). Using the new pedal pad that I will be installing (aluminum), which hangs lower and therefore creates a slightly longer pedal center, my new ratio will be about 5.5:1.
