Question about the stock brakes

Is it true that the stock brakes are the same brakes that was offered on the 10 GT with the Track Pak option?

No, 2011 GT has larger rotors, 13.2" compared to 12.4" for the 2010 and the 2010 TrackPack had different compound pads.

Rear brakes are the same size, just different pads.

What's the stopping distance of the stock compared to the Brembos ?

Within a few feet. The Brembos just don't fade as much or as fast with repeated heavy use. Basically for on track or very steep winding downhill roads.

These brakes that are on my 11 GT are way better than the ones that were on the 05 GT I had. Kudos to Ford for putting on bigger brakes for a car with this much power.

I attribute the small differance in stopping distances to the sticker summer tires that come with the Brembos.

One stop, there will be little differance. Laps at the local road course will show the differance.
