With due respect to everyone here, it's not intended to be a "challenge" of sorts. Simply a request for more info.

What I believe, and have gone to reasonable extent to disprove, is this notion of cast in holes. I'm reasonably confident that it is nothing more than internet rumor and have (for three years) offered a bounty for proof of their existance. The rumor has been around for the 13yrs I've been in business and after reviewing some casting issues and continuing to read of the mythical rotors one day I finally took the position of 'prove it'. The comment pops up on many forums and people speak it like it's some sort of common fact that we should somehow accept. Two years ago I worked a Porsche program and looked closely at Boxster rotors. Yup, they were drilled.

I think it's a great rumor! It deserves a Mythe Busters show! If Dave (or anyone) can produce the proof I'm all over it and more than willing to pay the bounty. It should be one helluva production process as we discussed last year on CC. Despite the fact that I feel it's bunk, the door is still open. I remain open minded and seek facts not rumors. Some have said elsewhere that I should not simply consider it rubish just because I don't have a picture. On the other hand I've not made the claim it's so without any data to back up the statement. We've become so detuned by the internet at times now we often take things for fact just becuase we read it there.

If the need/desire to split the thread is there that's cool. But I'd be disappointed if it were removed. If Dave can offer up proof of this and put it to bed once and for all he deserves the credit for doing so!
