How do the '05 brakes compare to the older Brembo's?

I actually time trial my 04mt on a regular basis...A week ago I was at Shenandoah raceway in Summit Point West Virginia and had a blast....Extremely technical track that was extremely hard on brakes..in actuality there were 4 major braking zones that not only tested the ability of the vehicle's brakes,tires and suspension setup but also size of your ******* as you head into a corner at speeds in excess of 120mph to 20-30mph...I have the Brembos with Hawk HPS9s in the front and Hawk black in the back with Ford dot 3 in the lines as well as brembo slotted at all 4 corners...I came in 3rd in my class despite missing the first practice session...A tricked out 93-94 M3(or there abouts) won the event but I've been faster than this car in the past...For several laps we ran together and we were absolutely equal in the braking zones...His advantage was in getting off the corner on that particular track...We were allowed to do "happy laps at the end of the day" after 20 of those as I was pulling into the pits, my pedal went to the floor..i boiled the brake fluid and actually discolored the front calipers...Motul 600 and Pocono South is up next...Awesome brakes...
