The caliper retains A TON of heat. I'd love to sit down sometime and run a thermodynamic analysis on the calipers to figure out what's up
Not in the one they up ended crashing the Nismo, it had wrong pads. That is the reason it overheated during the test.

Anyway this is just one instance, I know the Z is on the $hit list of almost every magazine out there because of the oil temps and brakes overheating....
