I agree with Bernd, I just feel that the Powerslots are not much more than
stock replacements and work wonderfully for me. Its personal choice too,
but they are clearly worth the money, at least to me.

Not really. :-) I believe a high end sports car is designed to be driven at
high speeds on winding, hilly roads (for maximum enjoyment :-) ), which
would require brakes capable of repeated, heavy application without fading.
I suspect the slotted/drilled rotors would dissipate heat better in these
conditions.

I think the powerslots look great. I believe the point Brian and I were
trying to make is that for most people who simply want better than stock
brakes, the powerslots are an unnecessary expense. A high quality
rotor/pad combination, such as Raybestos/PG-Plus, is a less expensive
solution with braking performance well above stock. Mine certainly work
well both on the street with a bed full of race gear and at the track with
stops from 100+ mph. No fade or drama at all! :-)
