To be fair, the dragon isn't much of a test for brakes. There's really only a handful of spots where you are even dropping from 80.

Oh, and I have base brakes and have only experienced the slightest of fade on the fast downhill section of Mulholland chasing a GTR and E90 M3. I am going to upgrade the pads and fluid soon, then I will have complete confidence in them.
yep, pretty common. IMO, it is a bit more pronounced in the Z (kinda comes on in more surprising situations), but it is nothing new.
