There's a launch edition for sale at Sports Trend Auto in Van Nuys, CA (they sell a lot of Porsches). 105k miles, ceramics, everything you could order on the car, blk/blk. They are asking just under $35k for those who might be interest. I'm looking at another car there so I thought I'd pass this on.
Just realize my 997.2 C2 is also a launch edition, but it is in Carrera White?
Very cool. FYI, the color of your car is Carrara white with 2 "a"s - spelled differently than the model written on the rear and door sills, which is Carrera with an "a" and an "e". I believe it comes from a color of Italian marble. I think it was Edgy that first educated me about this in one of his posts, but the spelling in your attachment with the vehicle options list is correct.
Just picked up mine last week. Plenty of twisty roads near me it totally shines in its element there.
*l did did have a question though on the carbon ceramic brakes. I’ve never had or driven a car with them. To me they feel a bit soft... is that because they need to be at temperature before they will preform well or is something off. Pads are still good plenty still there. I just feel as though I need more pressure on the pedal than I’m use to.
Thanks to anyone that knows and can put me straight.

If they're hot, initial bite is phenomenal. When cold, or even worse, when wet, they will take more initial pressure and take half a second before you get the stopping power you're expecting. If you decide you don't like them or will be tracking your car, where burning them up would be expensive, I'd buy your rotors from you to have a spare set for my car, which is also an '05 S.
If you work on your own car, get 2 of the wheel guide rods from Suncoast to avoid possibly dropping a wheel on the rotor during removal, as chipping or fracturing one would be a multi-thousand dollar mistake if you have to buy a new replacement for one of them.

judging from the plates, you bought this car from Weissach recently? I had my eye on a couple Launch Edition cars when I was looking back in 2014 but couldn’t pull the trigger quickly enough. Just for curiosity’s sake, at what price did they list the car?
Thanks Petza914 for that, I figured I was wrong. I don’t hink I’ll be selling them. I’ve got at least one track day planned this summer, hope to do 2 or more depending. I’ll keep you in mind though if things change

Saabotouer I’ll msg ya
If I were going to track my PCCB equipped car, I'd get one of the conversion kits from Suncoast and the caliper mounting stud kit from Rennline and swap over to steel rotors and corresponding pads for the track day, then swap back for street driving. The Suncoast kit includes slotted steel rotors and appropriate pads that use your larger 6 piston front calipers. The track days will create wear in the PCCB rotors over time when they would last a lifetime on the street. The purpose of the stud kit is so you can just unscrew 2 top nuts per caliper to quickly pull the calipers to switch the rotors and pads without frequently unthreading and rethreading the caliper mounting bolts into the aluminum wheel carrier, which will strip them out over time.
Here is my 911 Targa 4S in Guards Red....Purchased out of Texas, Now here in California. Full Fabspeed Intake, Exhaust and ECU Upgrade. Now I need SMOG, HELP!!!!!!!!!
