Can you explain these two things, mainly how a race pad's functionality is "as good" as street pads, at daily driver temperature ranges?
The car will stop with any type of pad friction, despite 'where they work best' . What you see as 'optimal' for his application is what I think needs explaining.

I've only observed issues of pad deposit. What i've noticed is when people who drive race pads out of range, then suddenly (with a high speed stop) get them at optimal range very quickly, usually more than once, can be followed by issues of pad deposit.

If you plan on going fast, i'd recommend pads for the track and pads for the street. If you look at graphs good street pads offer a temperature range that's wide, but not optimal for the track for long because the sustained temperatures are at the limits or past the optimal temperature range of the pad (this is why you get reduced feel and fade). Race pads are always optimized for that temperature range and will always work better in those situations. It's a trade off. You can use street pads, and they will stop, but it's not ideal past a certain point
