Ford cut the carbon ceramic brakes and instead went with carbon fiber wheels. The cost is probably pretty close to the same.

Really, the biggest gain from using carbon ceramic brakes is for the reduced unsprung mass. If it wasn't for the fact that the Zeta Camaro was such a heavy platform I doubt GM would have put carbon ceramics on the Z/28 in the first place.

I don't see the point of the GT350R. It's basically a GT350TP with aftermarket wheels and spoiler.
