What do you want to bet it had ceramic brakes? |

I'm pretty sure most high performance brakes are going to squeak the first thousand miles. I thought and read that it was part of normal operation. I don't think those were carbon ceramic though.

i believe they changed the braking system, it speaks to failure that the dealerships were unable to figure out the problem

Yeah, it probably had ceramics. LOL at his tan, too. His face shines more than the car

OMG! This reminded me of when I had my G35; I was getting an oil change done at Nissan and an older couple returned back with a 350z and said the exhaust is making noise above 3,000 rpm....
That gallardo owner was a superstar... |

I wish we could have heard the noise he was complaining about.

The fact that they had several people look at the car tells me that there actually was something wrong with it, and they couldn't fix it. That's the very definition of a lemon, and I'm not sure how anyone can fault the guy for exercising that right.
Don't you guys think that if it were simply a matter of the brake compounds being too harsh for the street that they would have just changed to something different rather than buy back a $250k car? |

*fixed
And I agree with you, but I would put a deposit on a Scuderia-like variant. That thing will blow everything out of the water

My 330 would do that all the time. Basically as soon as a traffic light turns green and you let off the brakes it starts to wail like a banshee, right? I took it to the dealer maybe 4 times and it they "couldn't reproduce the sound" or they changed out some brake parts only to have the sound come back 4K miles later. I fixed that by changing the brake pads to a ceramic pad and applying anti-squeal gel while I changing them. I don't remember which kind, but I got it from Advance Autoparts and it was a light red color.

Most high performance breaks aren't quiet. I don't know about you guys but get some nice pads and see for yourself. Brakes with real stopping power generally squeal some.

Ceramics squeal a lot because it's relatively new technology for street use. It has kinks that need to be worked out like anything else that is new, except those on carbos are more noticeable.
