Stopping from 55mph to 0mph on your way for coffee does'nt make much heat.
Jeff I agree with the thought of driving hard for the performance value of these cars and some people don't drive there cars very hard such as myself but this past weekend I was at the Tail of the Dragon and your brakes get quite a workout and after running thru the whole loop and the Dragon my brakes had very little dust not even noticable. Last year when I ran the Dragon I had my stock pads and just from the same run when I finished my wheels were black. Several people had rotex gold pads this year and I don't think anybody had any problems. I hope you can find some good pads that work for you and let us know the next time your running your car I'd like to come down and watch some of your runs.
