About the only thing the IR gun will tell you is if one rotor is way hotter than another rotor. Which is useful for telling when the caliper brackets lock up on crap mustang brakes.

Wow...what do you want then? I full scientific study? No offense, but we take what results we can get from owners, and use the data in a relative method to apply to an average for all. I doubt Red is saying his results represent 99.9% of everything, but what it does represent is solid data which no one else has generated with as much accuracy as you can achieve in a field study.

Then why trust his "data"? He doesn't own a Z and ever since he sold the one he did have he's had an overly negative connotation towards everything Z related on this board under the guise of "helping out". Then he goes on to insult everyone by saying we are too dumb to want his "data". Yeah, thats who i'd trust for information.

Well, since he recorded the data when he owned the Z, has fairly good knowledge of cars (s2k, Z, Mustang, etc.) I would logically conclude he has the understanding of what to do in this instance. Also, from his posts I would see it as from an owner who is posting an unbiased review, might not fall within lines with your sugar-plum fairly tell land of how you feel with your Z so it of course aggravates you or looks as if he is 'insulting' Z owners.

Its every single post he makes, essentially. Farthest from unbiased as it can get. I realize the Z isn't perfect and it has its downsides, but I don't need to see some tard in a mustang post on every single thread with a negative tone about it simply because he can't make his own choices and has to be "me too" about his cars.
