I've now owned my 993 for a bit over 6 years. And almost 40,000 miles. In that time, the brake pads have gone from 80% remaining (when purchased) to about 30% now.
I've never owned any car that went anywhere near 40k miles on the front pads let alone all pads. And I do a fair amount of stop and go driving. I do get what I'd consider the normal amount of brake dust. I usually clean off the wheels about every 10 days.

Radical needs to be at 120+ to get that kind of decel on just a lift. (Trick at Willow was to just do a lift/6-5 downshift going into T9, and see how fast you could get back on it. Ended up being the difference between a mid-1:21 lap and being over 1:23.)
