My brake-fluid is a bit dark, but not burn. Looks like 1000 mile old motor-oil on a new vehicle without blow-by issues.
it doesn't matter how hot your engine oil has gotten. You can hard cycle the brakes a couple of times and park it and whala...warped rotors.

Here is a little tip I learnt when I first got my Z. I got it up to 140 on a back country straight line road, when coming to a panic stop it worked great the first time. After driving around for a couple of minutes with no brake use at about 45 I went back to the same road again. I got up to almost 145 and panic stopped again. When I hit about 50 it started to fade on me a little bit. It was that point in time that I was downshifting and blew through a couple of stop signs. My point is this, when you notice that brake fade coming in, that is your WARNING that any more braking after this is the point in which you are going to be depositing brake material onto the rotor and it will cause glazing and/or warping.

I drove the car for about 30 minutes with no braking at 75mph. Since I didn't park the brakes with the brakes that hot or near so, I haven't had any problems with warping or anything of that nature.
