guys here who KNOW how to drive a rear engine porsche knows that it much more fun and much faster with the ability to rotate the car earlier, straighten out and get back on the gas much earlier than a car with 50/50 distribution.

I agree: what i was trying to relay was the fact that, unLESS you're an experienced porsche driver, it's not a very confidence-inspiring feeling to drive one. conversely, a 50/50 balanced BMW or Mitsu Evo, for that matter -- not that it's 50/50 but WOW what an easy car to drive!! -- is HUGELY confidence inspiring. We're just not good enouhg with P-cars yet

As for PCCBs, they are NOT that much more powerful that the steel brakes. However, as your track session goes on, the are MUCH more fade resistent and they do last much longer than the steel counterparts. That observation is totally incorrect.

Perhaps I was unclear. I am well aware that the only purpose they serve is to resist fade during track sessions. HOWEVER, I can also say as a matter of fact that the brake pedal requires FAR LESS travel before applying necessary braking force for regular driving. For example, the PCCB brakes seem much more grabby, and are applying considerable stopping force after only a few cm of travel. On my M3, for instance, I definitely have to depress the brake pedal a bit further.
