This isn't true, they are fine for street use.
The F430 is going to ceramic only, not just as an option. Other Ferraris and Porsches have used them for years. The new Corvette ZR1 comes with them and this is the best possibility of a potential source for SLC ceramic brakes.
If we're lucky they will be less than $15K for a set.
I would love to have them on an SLC. They have a two-fold advantage: they don't fade, and they weigh much less.
Removing somewhere around 30 lbs of UNSPRUNG weight from an already light car is a big deal in my opinion
