The PCCB's are almost $10,000. Braking on them based on my experience isn't that much better than regular brakes. Porsche regular brakes are fantastic. However, the advantage of PCCB's is lack of brake dust and claimed durability. Worth $10,000? Not as far as I am concerned.
The most wonderful thing about PCCB is that you can precisely dispense braking power in the last moment, something you cannot do with the standard brake. Some of my friends cannot believe how late I brake (this is why I always win... ) because of the very precise brake feel. If I can afford it, I always go for PCCB. Not recommended for hard track use though (replacement cost).
On the allocation issue, I understand that ultimately we all will get our car probably within the timeframe Porsche has tentatively scheduled. I get that. What I don't get is why the delay in communicating to the US dealers. Based on a reported communication from PCNA US allocations have been completed. So why not communicate them to the dealers?
Are you really sure your dealer didn't get his allocation???
