The corvette racing team is going to spend any amount of money to win. So money is no object. Guess what brake material they use..... IRON. Link below and look at that racing brake. It is IRON.

Racing brake kit for the C7.... not CCM but IRON

Please provide a link. This would be news and I would assume GM would have advertised this fact everyplace. I cannot find any evidence that the CCM improves 60-0.
As someone that has driven both CCM and IRON equipped Z06 cars on a track with the same tires I have not noticed any difference. (Sport Cup 2 verse SS makes a bigger difference.)
End of day you want to believe that CCM is some magical material that will last forever and is so much better. Enjoy. My car has iron brakes because they work as good, wear slightly faster, but are a ton cheaper allowing for money for tires and gas. |

I’d say 10’ is pretty significant, not to mention no fade. And as you mentioned less unsprung weight adding to the handling.
In an older interview they said the only reason the C7R doesn’t run carbon brakes is that the IMSA rules don’t allow them to.
