I was writing something like this at lunch but forgot. I'll throw in with these two fellows.
I race a 2650 lbs car with 10.5" SOLID rotors, 2 pot iron calipers, and drum brakes. With good ducting, they last for 30 mins and brake as well as anything I'm racing against or you find on track days (Vipers, Corvettes, Lotus, etc.).
That standard package has way more brake than needed. I will be using it on the RCR Lola race car we'll race in SCCA SPO that will be several hundred pounds lighter than 2610 lb. And that will be for a 13 hour race, if it doesn't last and make it I'll be VERY suprised.
If you are going for looks or bench racing you might want larger ones, but I don't think for a second you need them.
