Yep, slots won't help cool the rotor at all. They will act like a cheese grater on crappy pads however. Run good pads and good fluid at the track and the fade problems will be mostly gone. You may still overheat the rotors by the end of a 20 minute session depending on how fast and hard you are.

These cars are so hard on the brakes that I don't think there is a usable compromise pad that will work on the street and the track. HPS is a good street pad but wont hold up long at the track, HP+ are awful at everything, DTC are decent on track but can't be used on the street. Honestly 2 sets of pads are required. I like the sintered pads for that as there is no bedding required and they handle extreme temps with zero fade.
