Message	Vehicle weight has no relevance to the brake pad, the temperature range you operate it in matters, as does the rotor composition and operating pressure. It does generally follow that a heavier car will generate higher temperatures and require a higher temp pad compound but that hinges on variables like rotor (heat sink) size and available cooling. I've found similar brake temps on my Z and Sentra after an autoX lap, which I would put down to the fact that even though the Sentra is getting onto 1000lbs lighter it has rather small rotors, even for it's size, and not much in the way of cooling. By any road, it's all just words until testing is done and data recorded.
