98+ F-Body or C6Z on 71/72 Chevelle
I'm gonna be building a 71/72 Chevelle soon, I'm up in the air with
what brakes I wanna go with.. Stuck between 98+ F-Body brakes or
C6 Z06/Grand Sport brakes. I know 13.5" +/- the C6Zs are bigger,
nicer, prolly 5X better than the lil 12" F-Body set up n require 17"..
This is not gonna be a budge build, but also not a $100K build either.
So yes the cost Does matter, but I'm Not gonna go with the cheapest
route just to save a few dollars. I pretty much wanna build my 71/72
Chevelle like if it was built today, so a RestoMod or Modern Muscle Car.
Way More Power, Good MPG, Slightly Lowered, Big A$$ Wheel/Tire Combo,
Bigger Brakes, Better Handling, EFI, OD, maybe AC, not just a 1 trick pony.
Reason for being stuck between FBody 12s or C6Z 13.4/14s is because I'm
more of a drag racer, so F-Body brakes will allow me to run 15" drag rims.
I'm sure the difference is Not comparable between these 2 Very different
set ups, would I be let down with the performance of either brake setup?
My Chevelle will mainly be used as a fun weekend/nice day toy. So all out
performance is not the main goal. I dont think that I'll be Auto-X this car...
