Because you didn't drive the new generation yet for comparison? It is a difference like day and night, try it, you're gonna love it. Of course I can't say much about track racing capability but from what I heard, it should last at least three times as long as the steel brake and without the well known "chipping out" of chunks of brake disc material.
It is true Christian that I haven't and that I should. Anyone care to lend me their 997S so that I can abuse it for a while?
But seriously Christian, what I was really responding to is the text:

With PCCB, you can explore the potential for which every Porsche is designed. It is a powerful union of advanced technology and our desire to exceed our own expectations. As a result, it adds an even greater standard of safety and all-round agility to the already exceptional capability of your Porsche. As you might expect, PCCB is the most advanced braking system ever developed for a standard road-going Porsche.
It reads like a soap commercial where everything is cleaner, whiter, brighter. Read through it. They don't say or promise a thing! It is just a bunch of verbiage without any real meaning. What does it mean to "explore the potential for which every Porsche is designed"? Does this mean I can track it? I don't think so. But they sure seem to be trying to give the impression that Porsche is something special. What is "a powerful union of advanced technology" and what does it mean to "exceed [their] own expectations"? Even when they seem to be saying something it is really immeasurable. "[A]n even greater standard of safety and al-round agility" - what exactly does that mean? And how do I measure it? Ditto for "most advanced braking system ever developed..."
Instead, where is the specific information on what this system will do? Absolutely no solid information is provided. And I really do not think this is an accident.
