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.

If they were so good then no reason to remove....

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.
Even if they performed identically in any 60-0 test, unsprung weight is a huge deal in racing, as is resistance to fade. Again, no-one said they last longer or are cheaper yet you seem to keep wanting to put those words in my mouth. You say Iron is better but then just keep on saying Iron is better because they are cheaper.
