I still contend the Car and Driver crash was not a brake fade issue. It was more likely ice mode with somone who had never expereinced this Ice mode issue to extent it happens with 370Z.

C&D wrote it off as car just needing differnt pads. I suspect the car would have been just as bad with upgraded Nismo pads.

I have driven a lot of cars with ABS on the track and the system in 370Z is the worst by far I have ever expereinced. The system releases far too aggressively and doesnt recover quickly enough.

I truly worry about inexpereinced drivers expereincing this issue as they could easily panic and end up hurting themselves and others.
