I'll go through the list so you can know what I mean:

2011 C6 Z06
- Laaaarge swept area 4 pot caliper, peak heat per square inch not as high as the Z, not using super compressible organic/ceramic pad to reach "artificially high" peak coefficient of friction like the Z's stock pads.
1993 Crown Vic
- large shitty single pot caliper, peak heat much lower because the coefficient of friction isn't even in the same universe
2002 G20
- small shitty single pot caliper, see above
2001 WS.6
- large shitty two pot, see above
1995 Trans AM
- large shitty single pot (maybe two pot) caliper, see above
1988 Mustang GT
- large shitty single pot, see above
So what you are saying is that 2-3 minutes on a track (actually, the first set I fried instantly with a panic slow from 75 to 40 on the freeway when someone moved over into my lane, so maybe Turn 1?) is enough to fry Nissan's Sport brakes, but yet they are better than all of these other systems because...why?
