Those must be the 13" rotors that are an inch thick or more. The Dodge Viper ones are the same thickness as 88 Fiero rotors (close to 0.8" I think).
Weird. I might be remembering wrong. I don't remember them being that heavy... I'm the ones who weighed them at their shop

Because the car they're going on isn't a Corvette. I think the same about when people swap in LS1s and leave the Vette FRCs on and unmodded.
So when you put Brembos on your car do you remove the Brembo stickers since the car they're going on isn't a Brembo? Should an LS7 have Mazda badges on it when you put it in an RX7? If it's a Corvette motor it's a Corvette motor. Putting it in another car means its a Corvette motor in another car.
McLaren didn't take the BMW M badges off of the engine that went into the McLaren F1.
As for the swapping parts and badging issue. I guess it's up to preference. I have a C5 Z06 engine in my car, but I definatly won't be putting Corvette badging on it. It's not a Corvette. As for Brembos. That's not the car so it's not the same thing. I don't know. Like I said, it's up to preference.
