I've taken my car on the Tail of the Dragon many times and never once have I gotten it to fade, or into limp mode.
I concur.

Last year, when the Z caravan I rode with went to Zdayz, we drove 11 hours down, hit 28 coming up to Fontana, and the difference in brake quality was never more stark and defined. Red__Zed and I were the only two driving on base brakes, and we experienced tremendous fade at that point. I had to downshift to stop at the last stop sign, because the brakes did not respond at all. When we asked the handful of other Z drivers about it, none of them experienced any fade, and they were all on sport brakes.
