Actually, Ford did say iron rotors were better on May 7:
"To go fast, you first need to go slow. The brakes on Shelby GT350 are the most powerful brakes ever put on a production Mustang. After testing numerous brake setups, Ford Performance engineers discovered iron rotors provide improved performance and durability compared to carbon ceramic. Following several 24-hour endurance sessions, 394-milimeter front rotors and 380-milimeter rear rotors were chosen to provide stopping power for Shelby GT350. The two-piece rotors are assembled with an offset floating-pin system that allows for improved cooling and ventilation. Combined with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, these brakes experience virtually no fade in torture testing."
Ok, *maybe* they did say that, but they are wrong. My memory isn't so good.
There are a dozen other high end cars that are using CC brakes and claim that they are better in terms of weight, stopping, durability, and wear. There has to be more to this story.
