PCCB are 1% effective and 99% re-sale value. That being said I would get the PCCB.

OK. Well, I guess we take that as a hint. If not weight, guess the durability could be improved. Price, obviously, could be improved (but then, why buy iron?) Outright performance is already ample, so I guess you might look at even shorter stopping distances with smarter ABS?

If you want a new GT3 soon, don't let the FL boat pass you by--you'll be waiting for quite a while for the one you are looking for.
There will be one coming very soon.

Cheaper and longer lasting, that will do it.

I have PCCB's and will definatly get them again. They last and I got tired of replacing steel rooters. Just do not run traction contol or you will go through rear pads very quick. I have decided to keep my RS until certain that new one is coming as insurance.

With the new reds, why would anyone pay 8k for PCCBs?

Yeah, I don't see a reason either, it's about a 40 pound difference so that's 200 dollars per pound. Carbon body panels would be much cheaper (just not sprung+rotating). Just wait a couple more years, I'm sure aftermarket will deliver a safe/reliable/proven ceramic disc eventually for a fourth the cost.

Yeah there are. It helps a lot if you use the report post button - the exclamation point in the triangle. A single click will do

+1 You do not need options, get the best deal with whatever options.

Mileage, condition and CPO or not ar all that matter.
