Default 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.

as long as you don't have to swap wheels out due to bigger rotors, not sure if that has to happen?
