Funny you should mention that. I decided to try Hawk Blues after burning up my Z06 pads. Best price I got so far was from Edwin at raceshopper.com.
HB247E.575 Blue 9012 $186/set (front)
HB248E.650 Blue 9012 $129/set (rear)

That's what I found, I have a friend who has a hook up but it was only a few dollars cheaper.
I'm hoping it's the right pad for what I'm doing, HPDE & Time Trials

Great pads for stopping.
In case you're not aware - they will 'spray' the sides of your car with dust that turns to a rust colored cloud and is very difficult to remove from your painted surfaces.
I had to take a nylon brush with some Simple Green mixed into the water, scrubbing vigorously for 45min per side.
Wheels are a completely different story and the "dust" will concrete itself to anything - especially the wheels - when it gets wet.
Just wanted to share in case you didn't know the 'real' price you pay for them. Which is measured in time, incidentally.

Get the DTC70 for the front and 10's for the rear. Even better HPDE pad and less dusting. M0re money and more stopping power
Raceshopper usually has the best prices.

I thought the Black's were phenomenal when I used them. You just have to clean up the rims ASAP.
I would pick up a spare set of rotors though just to take with you. If your aggressive it'll eat the rotors up and you might crack one.

I used the Blues back in 2000. They are a very high torque pad. Just a touch of the brake pedal brought lots of stopping power. I've used the PFC 01s, and now have the Wilwood calipers using a Wilwood J pad but for max stopping torque with minimal effort the Blues were very good.
