Brake Pad Longevity - 10K miles?!

[DGatzby]

This very closely mirrors my brake usage at 53k miles...I replaced the rears anyway because I already bought the pads and everything was apart, but my mechanic said there was a lot left and didn't need to change. I've only ever done burnouts(hundreds of them lol) by footbraking and overpowering the rear brakes too, never have used the line lock in 6+ years.

Darn it!! I forgot to try the line lock last week when I had the OEM set of things on it! Darn it again! Wish you posted this a week ago. Those Pirelli tires need some video action next spring, because I am not using those again even on an emergency/rain track day.

But you have to admit. Best news source and best automobile minds if we have any problems. Especially with our common automobile. Drove mine today for an errand and again, SOB runs too good. Parked it because cannot take it out tonight because the short distance to dinner and not worth all the risks. Damn it!

All - I'd left the country shortly after posting this and the car was sitting until today. After reading the thread, I dropped it off at a different dealer for a separate warranty repair (major play in the driveshaft causing pulsing vibration).

I definitely appreciate all of the wisdom on here and have noted that it's extremely unlikely to need rear brakes or even front rotors (the noise is annoying though, so assume at least need front pads). If they come back with something nuts I'll go the DIY route mentioned above. Already have the tools and have done discs on other Brembo cars, so not deterred by that. Just miffed that I'm even having this discussion at 10K miles.

And I'm VERY "serious" about my Hellcat after all the work it took to order a '23 REWB at sticker locally. It's not going anywhere.
