Isn’t the most economically sound way to get carbon brakes on a new GT car:

1. Spec new car with PCCB for $9k
2. Remove rotors and pads with no miles when delivered.
3. Sell unused take-off rotors and pads for $15k-$20k
4. Use money to buy ST rotors and RE10 pads???

May not pocket any money, but should get enough to cover tax and license on the extra cost of PCCB.

If price is a wash, would rather have ST at same price as PCCB...

And since you keep stock PCCB calipers, no need for spacers or change to longer brake lines.

Great idea...and the stock PCCB's can be sold directly to Chance6....

Trouble with this strategy is that soon as you go to sell the car you will wipe $20K off the car because the next buyer will want to know where the original brakes are.

GrantG

Really? If it has original calipers and better than original rotors and pads?

Psup4s

I would expect original equipment as build sheet if buying used.

GrantG

I could see that for some items, but not consumables like brake linings. What if tires have been replaced too?

Psup4s

I wonder how a dealer would handle it when trading in

They wouldn't be able to CPO the car. To me it's better to just go with the steel brakes, buy the ST rotors and put the steels on the shelf. Put the steels back on the car if it's ever sold.

Steelies FTW then
Yellow because "race car"

^^^^^
Yes, this is what sounds smartest to me also. And while you're at it.. have calipers painted the color you want to match your car.. don't give in to the Porsche rules

Exactly my thoughts and not cost effective unless you track quite a lot

PCCB in red or black would look so much better wish Porsche would offer as option

You have an exceptional gift of being able to rationalize these huge $45k extra purchases - I like your style!

Unframed

PCCB in black is now an option, it's about an additional $1,000 USD on top of PCCB price.

Not for GT cars ( yet...?)
