Had a incident like that a while back and I was able to brake and steer around it with ease in my sport.
I think it is stupid for Nissan to even make the base without the sport brakes and tires. I had a good look at the brakes and tires on the base the other day that is just asking for an accident in the Z.
The Base BMW 135i comes with 6 piston calipers in the front and 2 piston in the rear and an underrated DI motor with twin turbos @ 300 Hp. If you are interested in a new car that has roughly the same performance stock, but a hell of a lot more luxury and kick *** technology check it out.
Also the modding the car is easier and cheaper a tune is $600 for 60 whp and 80 torque so 361 whp and 380 torque. Most people have them in the mid 12s with a CAI and CBE with tune.
Think that will be my next car.

Yeah, the base brakes didn't help me much, just locked up and slid. I was planning to replace them eventually...
I like the fact that the 135i has all the extras, and I definitely know how much easier it is to tune / modify for big gains, considering it's already TT from the factory. However, as of right now, I don't like the look of the 135i. Same deal with the Subaru's and Mitsubishi's, they just don't have the look that I like. Don't get me wrong, I know they can be made into beasts, but they just aren't for me. There are a few other cars that I will probably test drive, but as of right now, my plan is to upgrade to a nicer 370Z than I had.
and to answer the question, I was wearing my seatbelt, and yes I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
