GT vs V6 brakes

Doesn't anyone how the 2011 GT brakes (rotor and/or pad) is different than the 2011 V6? I was told it was different.

I'm 90 % sure the 2011 3.7 stock brakes are from the 2010 GT and the 2011 GT are different. This was from a video by a ford engineer. If I find the video again will post.

I am very pleased with the stock brakes on my 2011 V6.
I don't see the need for an upgrade at this point.

Its not the slow down factor, its the many slow downs in a row that
the bigger rotors help with. Heat absorption and dissipation factors are
better with the larger GT rotors.

I don't have any complaints about the brakes on my 2010 V6 but I wouldn't mind upgrading to some larger aftermarket rotors just for better stopping power.
