9-8 Driving and Operating
Street High Performance Brake
Burnishing Procedure
Run this procedure in a safe
manner and in compliance with all
local and state ordinances/laws
regarding motor vehicle operation.
Run this procedure only on dry
pavement.
1. From a stop, accelerate as
rapidly as possible without
activating traction control to a
speed of 97 kph (60 mph).
2. Use enough pedal force to
completely stop the vehicle in
four to five seconds. If ABS
activates, braking is too hard.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2,
five times. This should take
about 10 minutes.
4. After completing the 50 stops,
cool the brakes by driving for
8 km (5 mi) at 97 kph (60 mph).
As with all high performance brake
systems, some amount of brake
squeal is normal.
Racing/Track Brake Burnish
Procedure
To prepare the ZR1 and Z06 with
Z07 Performance Package brake
system for track events and racing,
the Street High Performance Brake
Burnish as described previously
should be completed.
In addition to completing the Street
High Performance Brake Burnishing
Procedure, the following procedure
needs to be completed to make the
ZR1 and Z06 with Z07 Performance
Package brake system ready for
track events and racing.
This procedure should only be
run on a track and only on dry
pavement.
Notice: Brake pedal fade will
occur during this track burnish
procedure and can cause brake
pedal travel and force to increase.
This could extend stopping
distance until the brakes are
fully burnished.
1. Drive a normal first lap and not
too aggressive.
2. Laps 2 and 3 should be
gradually driven faster and more
aggressive, while allowing for
reduced brake output and
increased stopping distance due
to brake fade.
3. Lap 4 as near to full speed, while
allowing for reduced brake
output and increased stopping
distance due to brake fade.
4. Laps 5 and 6 should be cool
down laps
5. Lap 7 should be normal driving
or an easy out lap.
