Just checked out the Porsche site on the new TT. Brakes look awesome!

But I'm left to wonder: How long before mov'it can fit these nutty brakes to an E39?

Be prepared to pat close to $20,000 for a set!!

Or even pay $20,000 for a set!!!

Steve,


Where did you come up with $20,000?

 

[tfung]

the $20,000 per set price is for the GT2 long distance brakes... I doubt that the regular 996 TT brakes would even come close to that figure... probably a little less than $10,000 for both front and rear for the same brakes to be put on the M5....

Unless you are driving on the track regularly, I don't think you will notice a difference. Might even be worse, because I bet the brakes take a little while to heat up. Racing GT2 conditions are far different than street and the occasional track event.

Well said, a set of $20,000 brakes would be serious overkill!

I don't know. The ability to stop on a *freaking* dime regularly with no fade and basically no wear on the system sounds extremely appealing to me. I'd certainly dip a little deeper into the engine's lovely power reserves more frequently.

Also, less wear means not as much brake dust to deal with. I really like clean wheels
