Some of the above posts gives me hope that some in this group may understand...but prolonged track session, can lead to VERY early delamination and breakdown of the rotor face. Carbon/Carbon brakes handle the heat from real track conditions much better. I feel like CCB are more of a marketing ploy to entice the average enthusiast who thinks they’re extra special.....versus actually offering any real on-track benifit for a fast driver.

GM meetings probably go like this:

“Even though CCB don’t offer our customers any braking advantage on track (and surely not around town)....we can charge $10,000 MORE if we offer them in a package.”

“Done!”

......then customers pull them off the car and shelve them until they sell the car. Or enjoy then on trips to the grocery store. Or at best enjoy them on track days driving the car at 6/10ths what it’s capable of, while generating very low heat levels.
