So do slotted...

The why do most real race cars have SLOTTED rotors? I hear the drilled ones seem to crack under extreme heat.... So all those cars I see with drilled rotors can't stop? Especially all those SL 55 AMG's... most of the owners probably drive to work with them on a sunny Friday.

Swifty, thanks for your opinion. I will probably be going with a set of Brembo slotted rotors from The Tire Rack, or someplace cheaper.
