Carbons are also nice because you don't have to worry about pad transfer, uneven rotor cooling, etc. after coming off the track. A single cool down lap isn't always enough to keep bad things from happening to the iron brakes.

Iron brakes are obviously a better choice for most people. GM got that right, but it'd be awesome if GM could offer the carbon ceramics as an accessory for those who want them.
I hear you on that and I would definitely like to see them offered in addition to the A10.

Hope this one makes the next poll and we can get an answer.
