To again reference the Carerra GT, a brake job on that sucker with new rotors and pads + labor is damn close to $20K so that may or may not be true.

Re: 20k GTR trans fix!!!
I really wondered if that trans was enough to take the abuse a awd heavy car with lots of power would take on a full launch.They should really slap a stout 6 speed manual in it I'm sure you can find a trans that will hold.
