Great to hear. It's been so common for sports based Big 3 cars to fail the track test and have glaring weaknesses revealed.
Man, Chevy is making it hard not to buy this thing

That's pretty cool...all sports cars should be tested like that.
But, if they're so staunch on durability at the track, then why are they using cross-drilled rotors? It's pretty common knowledge that cross-drilled rotors crack more easily than slotted or regular rotors.

That's what I like to see. Take it way above and beyond what anyone will do on the street or track. 
Beating the crap out of a Z06 - how the hell do you get that job, anyway?

A lot of aftermarket rotors have the holes drilled into the rotor after the rotor has been made and these are very susceptible to cracking.
Porsche also uses cross drilled rotors.

I like the picture of the goose.

As for Porsche--the most abrasive thing that happens to 95% of 'em is on Sunday when they get polished with a diaper.

It's well documented that rotors with cast holes still crack. Maybe slightly slower than true drilled rotors (do those even exist anymore), but still more quickly than plain rotors.
