Yup. They overheat and warp, even with street driving.

2014-2016 Z51's included these stupid Band-Aids to supposedly help:

I'm chalking this rotor design up as a failed experiment into making a poor man's 2-piece rotor.

Interesting. You'd think on a car at that price they would be able to give you legit 2 piece rotors. Isn't that part of the z51 upgrade, better brakes?

Yes, the Z51 gets better pads & rotors (same Brembo calipers), along with brake cooling ducts & guides. The revised 2017 Z51 rotors are still an upgrade over the base Stingray rotors (larger + slotted). If you want true 2-piece rotors though, step on up to the Grand Sport or Z06.
