if i use the brakes on my gtv6 too much on the track they will overheat in
the rear.  for example, at lime rock, more than one brake application per
lap (1:12) will result in overheated rear brakes.  The first time it
happened it warped the rotors.  the motor is stock, so it's not like i'm
going faster than i'm supposed to be going.

i don't believe that the rear brakes on a transaxle car, in stock form, are
sufficient.

fwiw,
