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.
