Yes, by far.
A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 200°F-1250°F+ (93°C to 676°C+). Carbotech™ XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds. Good initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. Carbotech™ does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. Carbotech™ XP8™ is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.

I didnt like the AX6 and am much happier using XP12 front and 10 rear
Is that a track setup? Yup but after your first slow down from 60mph they are warmed up.
I glazed my AX6 pads during the heat cycle process, I cant imagine them working well for a high speed situation.
If your goal is max braking power at 40mph go AX6, consider 8,10 or 12 if your car is seeing 100mph or more and use a slightly less powerful pad in the back

It is subjective depending on what is your purpose and usage, but in general performance setting, AX6 has higher bite or friction Mu so it does give better "bite" than 1521.
