[Shotimes] WTB rotors for brake upgrade

[Ron Porter]

However they are made, they hold up very well for street driving....unlike
aftermarket drilled rotors.

Track use is another animal, and with all of the track guys on 911 Rennlist,
there have not been any more or less complaints about the factory rotors
versus others.

OTOH, folks don't seem to want to spend the $$$ to get the holey rotors" for
tracked cars.

I've heard more than once that the drilled vs cast
holes issue is a myth (ie, all rotors are drilled). I
dunno the truth but I seem to recall that Todd Cook
had something on his site asking for someone to prove
that rotors were cast with holes. I think it was Todd.
Either way, I just checked his site and couldn't find
that segment. Don't have much time to poke around as I
have a ton of parts to buy tonight. :(
