Default Size difference with GT rotors?

Is there a size difference between our V6 rotors and the GT's? If so does anyone know what size? I think the calipers are a bit different too if anyone knows that for sure.

Default RE: Size difference with GT rotors?

Front...
GT - 316 (12.4 in) x 30 mm vented disc, twin-piston 43 mm floating aluminum calipers
V6 - 293 (11.5 in) x 30 mm vented disc, twin-piston 43 mm floating aluminum calipers

Swept Area...
GT - 64.3 in2
V6 - 58.6 in2

Rear...
GT - 300 (11.8 in) x 19 mm vented disc, single piston 43 mm floating iron calipers
V6 - 300 (11.8 in) x 19 mm vented disc, single piston 43 mm floating iron calipers

Swept Area...
GT - 49.7 in2
V6 - 49.7 in2

The rear brakes are the same, in the front it looks like the only difference is the disc, 12.4 in vs 11.5 in.

So based on what I am seeing, I should be able to just put the GT front rotors on without changing out the calipers?

No, they're not....

The front calipers are IDENTICAL between the V6 and GT models. Only the mounting bracket to attach them to the spindle and the rotors themselves are different.

Merlinsrealm: This is an easy upgrade and not too expensive (Saleen has new GT takeoff rotors, calipers and brackets for $99)

Be aware the GT brake setup will not fit inside the stock 16" V6 wheels. You'll need the Pony package/GT 17" wheels or an aftermarket wheel 17" or larger,
