Wow didn't know you had to break in the ZR1 brakes like that! Hrmm quite interesting. I wonder if cars that use the same material that the ZR1 has need the same procedure. Rock, you willing to chime in on this?
We probably just haven't heard about it because no one actually drives their ceramic brake-equipped cars past 55 mph, lol.

So, if you do the math, you have to go from 0-60mph-0 every 12 SECONDS! to do it 50 times within 10 minutes. I guess I should do this at 5am on a deserted road with no cars around and before I eat breakfast.

they have to....I can't imagine there being any substantial difference in materials.

HOLY SHIT!! I have been searching for a Scuderia but..... HOLY SHIT those videos you posted are truely mind bending. I kept watching the youtube clock to est. your 0 - 100 MPH times and it is ridiculous. I mean RIDICULOUS. It looks like you are hitting 100 MPH in the low 7's. 
That's from a complete stop!! HOLY EFFEN COW!!
I mean HOLY SHIT!! That thing pulls like a jet engined truck you see at the airshows!

Oh and welcome to the wonderful world of brake fade on CCB's. When I track my GT3, I usually brake fairly hard at each corner on the warm up lap to get the CCB's ready for abuse. All the other drivers look all confused think I am a dumba$$! LOL.
Btw - did you clear bra the hood? I would consider doing the hood, 1/2 of the front fender and sideview mirrors. Pricey but woth it.

I did clear bra the hood, fenders, whole bumper/lights, side mirrors, and the 1st 12 inches of the CF roof. It looks great, the guy (Norm in DFW) did an awesome job.

Supposedly from what I've read, the pad material is very specific to the ZR1 because it's one of the few carbon ceramic cars that stops well both in cold and hot conditions. The other ceramic brakes have inferior braking power until they are warmed up. These brakes work under all temperatures AFTER you burnish them apparently.
