sorry for the delay I was out in the gulf all day yesterday. I will try to answer all the questions.
The fronts became abrasive and were taking little chuncks out of the pads after 8 days.
Sofar my ZR1 only has run at Summit Point Main and Sheandoah. I run with a number of clubs and my track times are normally 20-25 mins.
I do both the street and track pad brandish.........lasting only 3 days makes the street brandish a huge pain.
At least some rivets have been visable during every pad change and I have yet to have a sensor indicate a worn pad.

What color is your car?

Enabling PTM removes the rear calipers from the equation only as traction control devices. They're still activated during yaw control corrections, of course. Enabling PTM also enables the rapid on-off-on-off of the cylinders to keep the *** end in line during acceleration out of corners.

I saw that, but I'll be still down in St. Pete on that Friday. Did you get a set of MPSC yet? JK. With those you could go through a set of pads in no time. I assume the brakes are burnished and ready to go. You will pick up some times just from the seat (you don't have to keep bracing your whole body). One of these days I manage to schedule a FATT.

Well, that's just a fail on your part then, isn't it. 
Street yes, track no. First session will be 'wasted' doing the track burnishing.
Just let me know which one it is. It's likely I'll attend the rest of them this year, money, pads, and tires willing.

8/20 and 8/21 NASA is at SP..........although if my z06 ever gets right that is what I will be running.
range96 do you run Sebring? I may try to run there once or twice this winter.

I checked my schedule with the "boss" and she nixed that schedule. I'll probably drive by Sebring, but not drive there. I still have to juggle work and pleasure. I'll also drive "by" VIR, Daytona, West Palm Raceway, Homestead. Can someone fix the market (economy) already??
Will be going to Delray Beach on the 7th, then back to St. Pete (Beeline, RT70, 75, 275) until the 20th coming back to PA. And all this without the Z, just a family car.
When are you going to be in St. Pete?

Burning Brakes
Just out of curiosity, do you sell the complete rotor for this price or just the disc minus the hat? Are the two able to be separated? I'm just wondering if you are able to get the raw disc cheaper than the complete part through the GM supply channel.
