It "feels" like it fades. Didn't say it did. Maybe I am just not used to it after all I only have 1.5K miles on the car. I just feel like getting off the highway ramp at 80 and hitting the brake hard the car doesn't give me that solid feel and the brakes don't seem to have the power I expected them to have. Could be my perception but I prefer a solid and immdediate sensation of braking once I touch the pedal.
Anyway gives me an excuse to hit Champion for some stainless lines as an upgrade.

I think the 997.2 3.6L and the 3.8L S brakes are the same. Not 100% on that. Mine is a 2011 3.6L. Gonna try and drive a dealer car and make some comparisons. There are a coupe of other issues I wanted to compare on.
I concede it may just be me as my DD is a big Chevy burb and driving the two is very different. However the smaller lighter Porsche "feels" more like the burb when braking hard. Maybe it is just doing it so fast I am realting the sensation of stopping hard to the long stop in the bigger car, dunno..... I would however prefer a more solid feel once my foot hits the pedal. My last sedan was this way and as soon as my foot hit the brake it started stopping.

to replace actual brakes - you have big Brembo kits or take offs from GT3 car or Turbo car. that will require also to replace uprights and master brake cylinder and will cost some $K. there is no real practical need for that upgrade but it is doable.
