Cadillac CTS-V Brembo Brakes fit On a Z?

I wonder how hard it would be to fab one?

It's not worth putting your life in your own hands my fabbing an adapter... And you'll probably run into other issues
(Someone tried to make a GTR BBK fit out car, and it's still unseccessful and still for sale)

Buy a BBK, and if you have the Sport package, you don't really need one, the serious trackers are running OEM...



KingSky has a BBK for sale if you really want to go that route

IT is still better than trying to fit brakes that are from another car or any big brake kit.

If your on a budget save some more tell you have enough money to buy the real thing.

And even if the fabrication is safe and sound, and potential fitment issue aside, you will have brake bias to deal with. To be honest, base brakes are more than sufficient for street driving. Upgrade your tires if you are really concern about emergency braking.
