Well...yes. I don't see the argument here. We already know the factory Akebono Sport-package brakes are not up to the task. The transmission itself is just fine, but issues with the factory LSD over-heating and not functioning properly have also been reported.
Again, I have no clue what you are bickering about. Perhaps I can quote Stillen from a recent post to provide you with some more insight on the car's brakes...

The front caliper does use a larger pad, but the caliper itself is not a very stiff one. Steve Millen made comments right after his first drive in the 370Z, that the brakes did NOT feel like a 4-pistons. He was not very impressed and thought they should be better for how they look. And, not many pads options will be available any time soon. I'm sure Hawk and Carbotech will have something, but I don't see Raybestos, PFC, Mintex, etc., jumping through hoops to service that market.
