A grand Prix GT also weighs in over 3,300lbs. brakes to stop a 3,300lb car when put on a 2,500lb car offer fantastic stopping ability. plus, they're cheap, readily available, and... oh yea, did I say cheap? nobody wants to spend two-grand on brembo's when they can do nearly as well with a couple hundred.
