    Roughing up the rotors

    Putting new pads on the front and back. First time for no. 502. Guess I will rough up the rotors by spinning with some tough sandpaper on them. Is this what most of you'll do?

    o to 60 in ? Seconds!

    I am curious about how many seconds it takes to go from 0 to 60 on a stock Vmax that is tuned well. Recently rode in my brother-in-laws 2013 Camaro SS. I think it was less than 5 seconds. Wondering about a race between his car and my vmax.
