Brembo and VDC - Are they worth waiting for?
My dealer just called me. If I want the Touring Roadster with the VDC and Brembo's I have to wait 2 weeks minimum. It's somewhere in Vancouver and I'm in Ontario.
OR
I can get the Roadster without the touring package in a week tops.
Decisions, decisions.

If you have to pay an extra $3K for the Brembos, I wouldn't bother. You can get aftermarket and save some dough. Unless your driving competitively, you may find you don't need the big brakes.

Brembos arent real neccesary unless you do a lot of performance or track driving, but have a much better feel then stock. The VDC is handy, especially in bad weather conditions so the car wont slide out on you.

2005 Gt
I took delivery of a 2005 Grand Touring in early May. I am extremely satisfied with the car. I was able to find a number of GT's in the states. If you break out the wholesale price difference between the Touring and GT, I think you will pay around 800 dollars for the Brembo's and around 300 dollars for the VDC, after figuring 1135 dollars for the18' wheels. Seams like a good deal to me!

I have the 2004 touring. If I were buying now I would get the Grand touring model.
When the weather isn't great I find the VDC to be a comfort, but I usually turn it off right away upon entering the car (that and put the top down). I do wish I had the brembos though, even if just for looks.
