I'm not. That's the only part of your post that didn't annoy me.
I hate to break it to you, but that's an opinion.
As I have said time and time again in this thread, the physics are the proof. Nobody has done a proper scientific test between the two, so the laws of physics are the only proof we have which are good enough for me. That is the reason I attacked you. The laws of physics aren't good enough for you. When a gas expands it cools, that's simple physics, but you won't believe it unless I show you some proof. I've even showed that the people that engineer these brakes don't recommend them either, but what do they know?
It's pretty absurd.
1. Well, stock to CD, that's pretty general. If you wanted to do a real scientific test between the two here's what you would have to do.
- You need to start with a control.
- Flush the brake fluid.
- Change the brake pads.
- Replace the rotors with OEM sized blanks.
- Run your stopping tests and checking temperatures.
- Once you've completed those start over.
- Flush the brake fluid again with the exact same fluid.
- Change the pads again with the exact same pads.
- Change the rotors the the CD. They need to be the EXACT same rotors, just cross-drilled. Same size, same metallurgical properties, everything. Just the addition of cross-drilling.
- Run the tests again.
If you move UP in size or get better quality rotors that are CD, yes they will probably stop better and resist fade better than stock rotors. That's why you need to test with the EXACT same rotors.
2. This is getting ridiculous. You need to stop using the word stock, they're called blanks. We've told you that racing teams developed them to fix a problem a long time ago that no longer exists. It isn't a problem that exists anymore for the street or the track. They didn't FIND or DEVELOP a better or newer technology. They simply went back to using blanks.
3. We have told you that out gassing was a problem created by brake pads back then. The holes gave the gas somewhere to go. The build up of gas between the rotors and the pads caused VERY poor braking performance. That is why they developed them. PADS DON'T OUT GAS ANYMORE, THEY HAVEN'T FOR DECADES. That is why racing teams went back to using blanks. How many time do we have to say it?
I'm lamb basting you because these are some of the most ignorant posts I've seen. The information is there, but you refuse to believe the laws of physics, brake engineers, racing engineers. You want a test that shows what is proven science. That's fine, I would love one to. It just irritates me that the other ting hold no merit to you even though most of the rest of the population understands these concepts. Add that fact that you keep refuting a point when the information is right there meaning I have to repeat myself. I mostly referring to the fact that racing doesn't use them anymore.
I'm done with this thread. I know that cross-drilling a rotor reduces it's contact patch with the pad, reduces it efficiency, and reduces it's strength. The laws of physics taught me that those three things means it's a worse rotor that the exact same rotor that's a blank and that it won't stop as well.
I'm sure that will never be enough for you and I doubt anyone is really going to do a proper scientific test of this.
