what justin said is correct...

now, i can only speak off of what i know...

the mercedes-benz SLR has carbon ceramic rotors very similar to the zr1 (26,000 rotors for the fronts, i think 24,000 for the back, 2,000 for the pads)...now, these things can be lit on fire from the heat generated during braking, just watch top-gear. they are expected to be "lifetime" rotors unless during service the tech sees that there is a substantial "chunk" missing. if you inspect the rotors after a little bit of time of useage, you would see the millions of cracks in them, that appear to be stress cracks, but are totally normal.
