[s-cars] Rotor & Caliper Incunabula

I don't think anyone mentioned Porsche rotors being drilled after the
fact, but
regardless, they still crack under heavy stress (as in braking an Audi
S-car at
the track).

Interesting to hear about monobloc failures, that is troublesome indeed.
I'd
imagine we would see a wholesale change in braking systems in the
GT-class Porsche
race cars if this is established as a serious problem, unless these guys
are
replacing calipers on a regular basis.

Why would RS6 calipers be more prone to failure and what 6-piston
caliper for a
replacement? Porsche 996GT2?
