Not surprising, and that's exactly why carbon ceramics really only belong on track cars, because they only perform at their best (and quietest) after you've heated up the rotors. Otherwise you're paying over $8K in options and a lot more over the life of the car just to avoid some brake dust -- even though the rest of the car will still get dirty so you'll have to wash it just as frequently anyway.
Although even Porsche track junkies with PCCB have switched to steel after they've had incidents with rotors cracking or getting chipped with debris and they got tired of paying $4K each to replace them. Sooo...carbon ceramics, even though their whole point is high fade resistance, are only good if you're uber-careful and gentle on track?
