Yep,
The GT6 would regularly eat rotors, although they would normally short
through a carbon track on the outside of the rotor from the arm to the
shaft, barely visible and it took some tome to track it down, but every
time the car started to run rough, a quick check of the rotor would show
the tracking - same result though.
