[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16135143, member: 138028"] I finally saw this car at Toronto's auto show (CIAS to be exact), looks nice. I was actually quite surprised at the size of the front brakes and the calipers. Just seeing them in vids before real life doesn't show really how HUGE they really are. Then it hits me...………..most regular cars are usually underbraked from the factory, a few select sports cars/exotics might have brakes that perform sufficiently and are sized correctly (or a bit over) for the intent of the vehicle in question. Basically, what I'm speculating is that this Shelby has these size brakes probably because it needs them to perform properly. If the car was lighter it probably would have smaller brakes (maybe same as GT350/R). So even with all the CF stuff I have a feeling this car will come in quite the porker of a car, it would be scary to see what this car will weigh if it didn't have the lightweight parts on it.
