Well when they (racer car owners and what not) say they stop better, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll stop at a shorter distance, which Kurtz is arguing. Fade can be an issue at the track where higher heat capacity pads may help, but if neither pads are fading, stopping distance will practically be the same.
Both of what you guys are saying are true. Better pads will reduce fade, thus avoiding longer stopping distance. Better pads will not reduce braking distance if both pads aren't fading. You can't replace OEM pads with some Carbotechs and expect to stop 20ft shorter. But you can expect them to be more consistent.

And as Kurtz said, the car didn't stop any better with these pads than it does with the stock pads. BUT, I would have completely faded the stock pads (or ANY street pads) had I left them in for the event. I knew I was going to a track known for being hard on brakes, so I bought heavy duty racing pads. Even then, the VSC overworked the brakes and I lost them 20 minutes into the last session on Saturday. I pressed the brake pedal 3/4 of the way to the floor and got very mild braking, so I knew it was time to pit for sure.
