Congrats!!! Now lets see some pics...After reading your post I got so excited I called my dealer to find out when they receive their first one, so as to go and see it...I'm number 6 on the list, Feb/March '04, but like you said well worth the wait.

No, pads for steel rotors have different part numbers from those for PCCB. The following picture shows a standard brake with yellow backing on the pad:

"Break-in is 1000 miles but there is no way to hold this car under 4200 rpm for that long. I was being careful and still saw the tach zing to 6000 a few times."

For those of you who asked for pictures, I took a few tonight. It was pretty overcast here and it was late anyway, so they came out a little dark but they're viewable. I put them up on a basic site for viewing. Check them out at Karl's GT3 site

Karl, Congrats! Are the brake pads stamped P90 on the fronts and P90-2 rears? Wondering, if these are the same pads on the PCCB's. I've been using the P90's with steel rotors, also I checked out a GT2 with PCCB's and they also had the P90 pads.

Finally some pictures! Thanks Karl. I noticed your car has the center console (CD slots and small storage area). I thought they were coming without this. Is this something you added or am I wrong?
Thanks for taking the time to tide us over. I should be getting my silver GT3 early next week.

AWESOME!!!!
Turning green with envy here. Makes me wonder if I made the right decision following my head to hold on to my C4S and wait a year for the GT3. My heart and gut are certainly yelling for that car.
You're right. Those seats have to go. Wonder what possesed PCNA not to put the GT3 seats? Its a GT3 car, for crying out loud.
