Not to get into a pissing match, but by way of scraping, the gases that build up on that microscopic level are effectively evacuated at the same time. Drilled rotors are indeed more effective at evacuation, but tend to reduce surface area at a greater percentage than the slotted/dimpled rotors and don't provide nearly the "cleaning" effect of slotted rotors. Any deviation in the surface will allow evacuation to an extent. Remember, we're not talking cubic feet of air... more like CC's per lap

And to play off of your badge logic -- to be 100% accurate, ALL supplied components should simply bear the name of their suppliers. So, instead of the AMG logo in the speedometer, it should really read "VDO". Headlamps should all say "Visteon", and all chrome stick-on badges should simply have an "SRG Global" watermark across them.

All of the car brands in the world are assembled using components from mostly the same ~400 global suppliers. The suppliers simply add a logo to the mold, and tax accordingly. Should we discuss that time that Visteon told Porsche to wait because they had to feed parts to Nissan first since it was a larger contract? I was involved
