[Conquistador]

I was personally looking for an S8 without ceramics purely because of cost factor if anything needed an overhaul but I must admit I didn't fully research the cost of replacement pads etc. so if I could buy my S8 again and it had ceramic brakes, I probably still would. They do look very cool and the squealing wouldn't bother me one bit.

I've done a couple of track days in a new 911 Turbo with ceramics and the performance of them is amazing - caning it around Porsche's handling circuit at Silverstone I almost expected brake fade and was ready to compensate for it when I braked for a corner but there was nothing.
