I have some super blue DOT4, but haven't gotten around to putting it in. With that stuff, I think my brakes would withstand a good 10 laps or so. :edit: or as many laps as I could drive in a row, which is probably fewer than 10 h:
I was actually surprised with my brakes. I went in with Powerslot rotors from the 2001 season with AEM pads. When I left to head back home I still had about 1/2 pad left to go. BUt I was also running stainless steel lines.

I have stainless steel lines, axxis ultimate pads, and my car weighs about 350# less than yours... maybe my brakes are as good as they need to be :exnbp:
