In general things that thrill us are not the ones that help make our lives less stressful. They could be an escape but usually are not a remedy for stress. Therefore when you consider the performance of your car you will of course be thrilled by a quick acceleration and a high top speed and you may look for ways to improve them to make your drive even more thrilling, but if you want to make your drive as stress free and relaxed as possible then there other components that you should consider.
So how does a brake rotor determine the performance of your brakes. Well brake pads are pressed against brake rotors to make the car slow down or stop. The resultant frictional force is transmitted by the brake rotors to the car's wheel. Therefore a brake rotor needs to be strong so that it can withstand the large force and does not crack. The resultant heat is also taken care of by brake rotors. Other than absorbing and radiating the heat themselves they also have holes or slots for the heat and if there are any gases generated to escape. Slotted rotors have more area to generate friction than do drilled rotors. But then they wear out the brake pads faster and are suited mostly for high performance applications.
