Carbon ceramics still have their harmonic frequencies. It isn’t exempt from the laws of simple harmonic motion.

Carbon brakes squeal too. They squeal a lot more unless you’re on a track.

Squeaks are just a side effect of brakes that are durable enough for high temperature work, like race track use or repeatedly pulling a fast car down from high speeds. And Porsche really makes sure their brakes can handle just about anything you can throw at them out of the box. If you take a step up in pad hardness…

It’s not BS, high performance brake pads are much noisier and generate much more brake dust and you’re right in that the difference in normal driving isn’t astronomical. But there is a difference and if you’re trying to get every last ounce of performance out of your car it’s something you’ll have to put up with. If…

No, no, PCCB’s are probably louder than any standard brakes I’ve ever used while cold. The real track-rat Porsche guys usually order GT3s without them because they’re noisy on the street and $20k to replace if you do a lot of track work.

Let’s face it. Less than 1% of the owners are ever going to push those brake to anything near their peak performance.

This right here. Performance brakes tend to squeal, but generally their advantages aren’t really manifested unless you get your brakes really hot. For the vast majority of drivers, the extra heat capacity of the pads isn’t worth the trade off of squealing. However, if the extra heat capacity matters to you, it is way…

A TSB may have been issued not because of faulty equipment, but because the brand doesn’t want petty complaints to rise up for what is actually true - performance brakes do make more noise. I don’t know how hard you brake, but it’s possible that lesser “normal” brakes offer the same performance as the performance…

You say “van with a bed” like its a bad thing.

Warning: “That guy” comment inbound.

Ha, they’re developing a case of cold feet about the new logo!

It’s not clear how much 3M regards the logo as a genuine threat to its compression-sock business, or if they’re just defending their logos and brands because, legally, that’s sort of what you do.

FUCK YOU ALL I LOVE THIS CAR COME AT ME BROS

That would be the N model. 275 hp/260 tq - available with stick only.

Hmm.. I read the same interview quoted by WTF1, and there, it seemed as though Webber intimated that running Le Mans this year was the mistake (your first quote adds Daytona in the []). I recall reading that Webber went on to say that Daytona was a good idea to prepare himself for a future Le Mans run. Here’s the…

I also think it’s funny whenever people don’t understand why an OEM didn’t make something “better” from the start.

You wanted to see what Torch had to say...now you have to buy a Delica!

From the looks of it, they may have started with a ‘55 Plymouth as the basis for the retouching.

I surf videos on YouTube. Can I be a Jalopnik editor too?
