I'll tell you what; if you can explain that technical garbage, since you dropped it, I'm here to listen. Otherwise, if you're completely uncertain what it means yourself,

What Sports Car comes with StopTech Brakes? What Sports car comes with 2-piece Brakes? I honestly can't think of any off the top of my head. I won't say none because I have never researched this. However, narrowing the field, many use Monobloc Brembo Brakes; Corvette Z06/ZR1, Porsche, Etc, as well as Motorcycles like Ducati. Vehicles whose true purpose is race oriented; and they win. Monobloc Calipers are lighter and larger. Less unsprung weight is key. Larger Rotors and pads leads to larger surface area and less heat which equates to longevity/endurance. Even better; Carbon/Carbon components.

I could go on, but that's
