Dead simple.
No targa 2 or 2s?Dead simple.
Also that spreadsheet looks so much like a fake.

I'm at a loss as to how cars in this price bracket (which include the mew McLaren) only have carbon brakes as an option.
Because the standard steel brakes are better in 90% of the time. Carbon brakes are only superior under extreme conditions (track/mountain). When I worked at Porsche, none of the colleagues (engineers) had ceramic brakes. They all went for the red series (steel) for a reason...1000TCR said:

The only way in which standard steel brakes are better is in terms of cost.130R said:

Really, have you owned/driven cars with both then?I had both ceramics and steels on my GT2s and after replacing several sets of both type of discs, I can tell you that the steels are just as good on track, better on the road and the only advantage for ceramic is they keep the wheels clean.
I would not choose to spec ceramic, but both my last two Porsches came with them as standard.
Jay Leno mentioned in a column recently that he specced his McLaren MP4-12C with steel brakes amongst other reasons because they are lighter and cheaper than carbon.

Well I disagree. Ceramics are lighter, last longer and I found pedal feel just as good if not better. I don't see how steels are better other than the fact that they don't cost a fortune to replace.I would not choose to spec ceramic, but both my last two Porsches came with them as standard.

The problem is that there do seem to be a few troublesome points in the spec sheet: the word 'brake' is spelled 'break'...
Not sure if this one rules it out as fake, as according to the Porsche and poor grammar thread, one PH'er has first hand experience of seeing this mistake used by Porsche:Tifosi said:
