I do 90% of my braking in a straight line, stabbing the brakes hard and then trailing off into the turn. I used to street brake, but Sharif and Bryan Settle cured me of that. I actually think that I am only able to keep up with faster cars because I brake much later and make up lots of time there. Cossie, On the C6, I had a widebody conversion and ran Z06 brakes for 2/3rds of the time I owned it. On both the Z51 and Z06 calipers, I ran hawk HP+ pads, but until my last year in the C6, I was only doing 2 track days per year and not at the level I am now. 3 years ago, my last year in the C6, I started doing two per month for 6 months a year. The only brake issue I ever had on the Z06 is when ALSM driver Shields Bergstrom took me out for a session at VIR driving my car and he boiled the fluid, but had no ice or fade issues either.
