If it hasn't happend yet i expect to see some BS about how Z brakes get 1.368 degrees hotter than mustang brakes so we should all burn our cars to the ground and collect the insurance money.
i've actually seen better temp reading results from road usage than track usage. by the time you're off, the brake have cooled enough that a good reading is more difficult to get.

You are right, the Z never saw the track. I saw catastrophic fuel starvation in a 40mph turn autocrossing it. Engine shut down, car would not start for 24hrs. Didn't really feel any desire to put it on the track after that.

As to your second comment, no worries on that. I don't feel any need to compare my car to the z. I chose to make a switch for my own personal reasons, and I don't need to prove why to anyone here.
