Pagid Blue or Pagid Orange
I am looking for a set of brake pads ONLY FOR TRACK usage
So the only thing I really care is consistent stopping power and fade resistance (and yes maybe if they are not too hard on the rotors that would be nice too 
I don't care about noise and dust and lack of holes for the brake sensors.
I am a bit confused if I should use the Pagid Orange or Pagid Blue
Anyone who has some experience with them?
Thanks & Happy Holidays

I use the Pagid Orange on the track. They have awesome stopping power and I highly recommend them. They do not sem to have been too hard on my rotors. 4 track days and no noticable wear. Wish I could say the same for tires...

Though I don't track my Boxster, I've used Pagid orange pads for the last 10 years on my track 911s. Great bite once heated and I find them to be fairly user friendly, also lasting a fair time. What hurts rotors more than anything is an inexperienced driver braking too early and too long.

For track only go with Orange and remember warm em up first, smoothly on and smoothly off, and let em cool down nice and slow.

don't forget performance friction. the 97 and the 01's are awesome. I use the 01's for all track days. the 97s are a little less harsh but they also don't have the same bite. the 97s are very similar to the orange.

For AutoX use Blue
The cold performance of the Blue is better, so for AutoX I would go for Blue. Personally I run with Blue for Street, AutoX and Track. They are nice pads.

I'll second the Blues for autocross. They are my all-around favorite pads, with Ferodo DS2500s a close second.
