They must be great and just adds to exclusivity of this car (I think one day when he sells it he will take all his money back because the car is in a whole different level now) but I had no idea that CCB options could be this expensive. From factory a Porsche Boxster/Cayman can be optioned with CCB for 8000 something Euros for example, probably not more than 10 K in US. This must be close to top or number 1 in single most expensive mods list if there is a list like that. Even that Egyptian guy probably bought a new S65 engine cheaper than this and I hope I am not giving new ideas

Powerbeast, is there any particular reason for the outrageously high cost for the brakes. I understand the cost of ceramic, but 35 seems to be tripple or quadruple whats typical. Just curious what made the cost so high.

Keep in mind I said $32K retail. These are so much more I believe just because of such technology behind them.

i would be interested to hear your impressions on the track before and after the mod.

there is no doubt...you are baller! although, are getting close to GT-R $$$ at this point? haha if so...that would be a pretty badass car to have (my choice over the 1M), and even at stock it would still probably out-perform the 1M with the upgrades, ya think?

I think he is beyond GTR money already... at least at retail pricing. he was at GTR money before the brakes.

Yes retail is for suckers lol with that said it is impossible that you found these for less. They are not out yet not a single dealer would even have pricing yet.

Wild guess: Brembo cut you a good deal for the brakes but you're bound by confidentiality commitments.
