Default Difference in brake pads (Z06 v. Standard C5)?

Is there a difference in brake pads between the Z06 and the standard C5's? If so what is it? If there is, is that why Z06's get so much brake dust? :crazy:

Just the front pads are different, other than the red calipers that's the only diff. Yes they do produce much more brake dust, but do they EVER stop.
The first 500 miles seemed to be the worst for dust, after that they seem to calm down.. but it only takes about 100 to150 miles of easy driving to begin seeing a darkening of the front wheels, the rears stay pretty clean.
