Thanks Pat,

Not to diss the Audi, but Porsches are known for their brakes and the Boxster (base or 'S') has some of the shortest 60-0 distances in all of cardom.

But, they're expensive as well which is why I'm not a fan of running agressive pads on the street to accomodate a couple track days. The wear to the rotors the other 363 days will exceed the cost of a 2nd, dedicated set of track pads.

I cannot accept 'saving time' on a track car. IMHO, a car should be prepped for the track, both to maximize enjoyment and safety. It takes me about 90 min. to prep mine which I honestly don't think is too stiff a time penalty considering the penalty, both in treasure and blood, somtimes imposed on a driver with an ill-prepared car.

When the proverbial sun sets, it's your car and your money. If you think it's a wise course, stick with it.

Cheers!
