Ok, I kind of get your point but that still doesn't make it a good idea. Like @Dadhawk mentioned, actual knobs are where it's at because they can be used without looking.

But we're talking bout <3000 lbs car. W proper brake pads, it can out perform Brembo w crappy pads.

Unfortunately "Ooo, shiny" actually does sell cars, just not to me.

I don't mind it for functions I use infrequently but given the choice I'd rather have real buttons/knobs for common functions because I can then get to them without looking.

There could only be one outcome in many cases!

Yes but the touchscreen might survive. The occupants, however...

Well maybe, in the WRX the brembos were like double the size though so the best pads in the world couldn't compare. I was running Hawk pads on both setups anyway I think. Not the full race ones that need you to put heat in to work but like the step below. HPS+ maybe?

Look it this way, our brakes are bigger than S2k & other coupe cars out there. I think. That's saying something... I least I do.

Dude, cmon, cruise control!

I don't regularly get my brakes hot enough for a big brake kit to matter.

Any chance to get hot lava color?
