Cross-drilled/gas-slotted 12" rotors will stop no slower than a normal 12" rotor.
Guy, you have to stop revelling in what you read in a book and think about what you are typing. At least I am not disputing the physics that you are regurgitating. Just think logically - if narrow tires worked for a dragster, then everybody would use them. Two of your reasons (stickier, soft sidewall) can all be applied to a narrow tire so they are mute. Also, if cross-drilled rotors were no better than non-drilled rotors, then there are some really stupid racers out there (in the real world). You show some understanding when you mention that cross-drilled cool faster - that is one of the varaiables that are at work...
