They are certainly NOT designed for sustained high-temp use. Ironically, contrary to what you claimed, performance actually begins to fall off right around the 500 C mark, and continues to decrease as temp increases.

IMO these are an excellent pad for someone starting out as you get relatively consistent performance across the temp range, allowing the driver to focus on fundamentals, car inputs, and the line.
Dunno about the other brands, but PFC 08 (endurance) also have a lower temp range than the sprint 11 pads. I was getting the 08's way too hot. The 11 probably would have suffered less fade.
