What is your question?
when I drive my corvette for around an hour the brake pedal becomes very hard and the brakes seen to apply themselves lightly, when I stop on an upgrade the car will not roll freely, as if I am holding the brakes. The car is a manual transmission. I don't know if I have a brake adjustment problem or a master cylender problem or just what is going on any help would be appreciated. Thanks, LT-1

You have disc brakes so there's no adjustment issues, this sounds like the master cylinder may be failing. What you will want to do is drive it until the issue starts occurring then jack the sticking wheel up in the air, try to turn it and if it's dragging do this: find the brake line from that wheel that attaches to the master cylinder, break the line free for a split second, just to see if it relieves the brake pressure to that wheel. Do this for just a 1/2 second, until a little fluid comes out. See if the wheel spins freely, if it does I would say your master cylinder is bad. Using the wrong brake fluid can make this happen too so make sure you always use the correct type.
