Apparently the way you're using the car, Chuck, the rear rotors NEED to be
vented too! Remember, a lot of the 'cooling' air reaching the rear rotors
already went thru the radiator or past the headers and is pre-heated to more-
than-ambient. The rear rotors are shrouded by larger rear wheels, too. You've
got some good stuff on the car. IMHO, I'd adjust more braking to the fronts,
check the handling, then if no lower temps,  put vented rotors on the back and
re-check again w/the pyrometer. Also remember, the NSX is about 600 lbs
lighter than your Pantera. The Japanese pressure-balance the frt/rear brakes
with a gauge: my MR-2 turbo (about the same wt as a NSX) specifies 1422psi
frt/1195psi rear. J DeRyke
