What a nice car you have!!
Anyway, ahem, to the point.
I recently replaced (on my C4) carbon-metallic brake pads [stock brake calipers and rotors] with EBC Green Stuff pads (mainly as I had some on the shelf!)...
The brakes don't seem as "sharp" - the carbon metallic seemed to bite quickly - although I need to do some tests to see if these green-stuff pads are worse...
But I have to say, the carbon-metallic brakes did feel sharper... sure you can get them for the C3... Mid-America do?

you still drive your ZR1 with stock brakes 
you are a brave man!
Well, it is only a stock car
... no mods! TBH, the brakes on it though are fine for me (although I did prefer the carbon metallic pads to these green stuff pads, which aren't as good imho).
I am sure I don't use these brakes to even their full potential!
On a side note, just out and dyno*'d the car : 0-60 in 4.4seconds, and a 13.2 sec 1/4 mile, and that was out of 2 runs just to test this new dyno SW... Am sure I can get to <13s with practice, as shifted 1-2 alright at 55mph, but 2-3 at 78 which I believe could have been 82mphwith my 3.45...
* used TTS Datamaster: connects your laptop to the ALDL, and records (e.g.) speed (which is accurate, as checked against my GPS) and milliseconds...
All not bad for a 13 year old, daily driver!!

I must get round to posting the German vids to my site. Sounds real nice with the B&B and Jeal headers when going for 180.
Brett - looking forward to that, which reminds me, going to check your site out right now, haven't been there for a couple of weeks or so.
The ve-hickle is looking sweet.
