Are the Boss brakes the same thickness as stock except for being vented? If 
so, that the problem. Race cars need thicker, heavier rotors to counteract 
the weight of a Pantera. Thin street rotors will nearly always warp if used 
full-tilt in a racer. Take a look at a GT5- or GT5-S brake set sometime. 
These are similar to those used at LeMans and do not warp. They are about twice 
as heavy as stock brakes. ALL vendors have racing brake kits available, 
using rotors from various sources. Of course, if one installs wider rotors, 
you'll need wider calipers. Good luck- J Deryke
