Although drilled rotors look race'y, unless you need (and can make use of) the ultimate lightweight rotational package, they are a waste of time. Running street tires? maybe some 17" aftermarket showy wheels or even pin drives, steel hubs, even steel lugnuts and the benefit is lost. The top shelf race teams that use them will replace them after every event, and often during a long endurance run. This is where results overcome any budget considerations. For the average street/track car, they just cost more than they're worth. Expect to see excessive cracking and loss of heat absorbtion/dispersion due the loss of mass in the rotor. Now slots in the pad and rotor will be beneficial, even on a mild street car.
But some people spend cubic $ on other stuff just to look good, so what do I know.
