My '01 dusts like crazy. I've said this before, and I guess maybe I'm a little out in left field, but I kinda like when then wheels get a good coat of dust on them. Gives it that endurance racer look.

Several have mentioned blowing off the dust or wiping it off daily. Is this for cosmetic reasons or something technical that I don't know about?

I had the Raybestos ceramic pads installed this morning on Mary's Z06, broke them in per Brett's suggestion, and I now look forward to a lot less dust.

If you look at the '02 intro info, you will see they changed the pad material on the '02 Z06, my '01 never looked dusty, but my new '03 is horribly dirty looking pretty quickly.
