[DeTomaso] Carbon Fiber Brake discs!!!

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

The Brembo Max rotors I find are made out of high carbon steel. Do you have a link to your supplier to share? As a set of carbon fiber reinforced ceramic brakes normally cost in the neigborhood of 10 kUSD I'm sure there's something wrong here.
