On the other hand, with money as no object, I wouldn't hesitate to put a Performance Friction set-up on my car. But it won't make me significantly faster.

the biggest advantage I see from a big fixed piston caliper setup is the improved pedal feel... (which is why I think it's weird that the F10 M5 comes with floating rear calipers!)
My 997.2 C2S has *much* more solid and confidence inspiring brakes than my M3. It's significantly better... wish I could have those brakes on the M3.
But, in street driving, it makes almost zero difference. On the track, pads and cooling are much more of a limiting factor than caliper design. The M3 has huge rotors and a beautiful floating iron rotor pinned to an aluminum hat. Sexy stuff.
