$17,000 for brakes? are you sure you don’t have 1 too many 0’s there? Having a hard time believing you have to pay ~14% of the price of the car to do a brake job… Even the ZR1 that shares the same Carbon Ceramic rotors as the Enzo is ~6k ---

The fact that a 2009 911 with the Ceramic Brake Option that needs serviced already is silly. Is it a street car ? ---

it doesnt need serviced yet. simply stating that’s what it will cost when it does come time. yes it is a street car. with that said, i dont see it needing serviced for a while knowing how ccb brakes are wear wise. truth be told, we may never need to buy a set of rotors. ---

> **[The world’s most expensive car options](http://www.nbcnews.com/id/24260451/)** > > Prepare yourself for sticker shock as you peruse the most indulgent options available on cars that are already some of the most expensive around. Many high-end automakers offer carbon-ceramic brakes designed to better dissipate heat and prolong braking performance during extreme driving, such as on a racetrack. Ferrari’s are the priciest, at $18,500 for the 599 GTB Fiorano (the seventh ranked option) and $16,808 for the F430 (ninth on the list). Bentley’s previously mentioned carbon-ceramic brake system for the Continental GT is $308 less than the F430’s. ---
