[QUOTE="Greensix, post: 14467732, member: 49473"] I had a good friend with a stock Mach 1 (around 3800-4000) that would eat through rotors and pads. I think he cracked three in one weekend. The swap to Full Tilt Boogie slotted rotors helps a good bit for pad wear as he was torching a set of DTC-70s each weekend at Road Atlanta. He has since sold the car but once you get to a certain level (actually being able to drive 10/10s for more than a few laps) you will eat pads and rotors on a car that heavy with the stock calipers. Before he sold the car, we determined that we needed more cooling (4" vs 3" cooling ducts) and possibly moving to a 14" brake kit. Unfortunately it is just silly expensive to track a car that heavy. If you ever go to a Continental Tire race, look at the braking equipment on the Mustangs and Camaros. They spend some serious coin to be able to keep the brakes working for a full race at the weights they have to run. As a comparison, my old car (2900# with driver and 300ish hp) would go 3 weekends on a set of pads and a full season on a set of autozone blank rotors. [/QUOTE]
