Brake Temperature

I did a little brake temperature test today. I drove 20 freeway miles with some braking towards the end. I wanted to see how the cooling is doing for the brakes. I immediately got out and put my finger on the front disk. It was barely warm and could keep my finger on it the entire time. I was surprised that it was that cool. Then the ZL1 brake cooling is really doing a good job, wouldn't you say? I did a quick one with hard braking and it was hotter but not by much.

Has anyone else checked their brakes for temps?
