Porsche has Ceramic rotors as an option on the stock GT2. Also in an old Car and Driver that was doing a shoot out, I noticed that the Lingenfelter Corvette had Ceramic pads.

Does anyone make Ceramic rotors and or pads for the Viper? If so, how much do they cost? How much weight do they reduce? How do they work on the street and track?

I bought ceramic pads for my last Corvette.
The advantages that I had seen were no squeal, minimal brake dust, they are harder to fade out under heavy use, and they grab well when heated up. But they were a fair amount more expensive over the standard pads (3X), and the braking was not as good as stock when the pads were stone cold.

I don't know if they are being made for the Viper's brakes yet. But most of the advantages of ceramics can be had with the EBC Green pads.
