Nope but the C5 setup we discussed and you posted you were thinking about will. Another option with out the adaptor brackets is the Wilwood setup I'm running which is the 6 piston narrow lites that im am running along with -=Jeff=-Those are direct bolt on and with fit behind A Molds. He's running 18 inch wheels and may offer some insight. The kit is 1800 although. Either way you go.... big brakes are big bucks. 140-8337 is the wilwood part number

It's not just a question of circumference or drum but also caliper face clearance. The Z06 wheels have split spokes pushed to the outer edge of the wheel. Shelbys hub is inset. However, you can see that tf95 has them using FISKE(?) wheels.

I think Ted is running 18inch FIKSEs as well more room than the Shelbys

I'm shocked no one has tried to adapt Regal GS brakes to the ZR1. They are 4 piston brembo's. Those would be more than enough for our cars.

Looks like this isn't worth it for the money.

that really depends on how you drive your car. if you're tracking the crap out of it then maybe it's worth it. if you want to say you have CCB's on your car at a show, then yes. if you just drive to car shows and some third gear blasts, maybe not

Yes GC, I have 18" Fikse's. I believe LOCOBOB who has Shelby's (look great) verified C6 Z06 calipers WON'T fit.
And WVZR-1 helped me with a spare tire set-up that required ANOTHER adapter and 18" CTS spare.

Actually the Camaro or CTS Brembos would be nice but adapting these is a bit convoluted. IMO, the Z06 brakes can be had for a reasonable cost if you shop properly and have patience. However, you need to factor in the cost of wheels.
Locobob was the guy that got me started on Z06 wheels. DAMN YOU BOB!

The wilwood Narrow super lites fit better behind the Shelby than the C5.. With the C5 caliper you will need a spacer.. I am running the Wilwood with no spacer, they fit great

C6 Z06 will not fit under the Shelby without major mods to the caliper and wheels

I have a pair of 4 piston brembo as well as another pair of 4 piston Wilwoods (both rear set-ups) for anyone interested
