Perhaps Modshack or someone who has pushed the Z throught the mountains can comment on their opinion on the stock pads down a tough stretch such as the tail of the dragon.

One other unrelated comment: when someone say boxsters suck it seems to take away from the discussion. Likes are a personal issue but if you look at how the boxster/cayman performs it hardly sucks. Whether you like the P cars is neither here or there but they all perform well...May be expensive to buy and maintain but perform well.
Just get some Hawk HPS pads for the street. Should be just fine. But I doubt you'd have too many issues in stock form doing some mountain driving...the stopping areas at VIR are EXTREMELY intensive! We're talking, 130MPH->40MPH. Unless you're doing stopping like THAT on a mountain drive...you probably shouldnt be too worried.

A+ for recognizing a great sports car without bias, btw. Lots of Nissan fanboy-ism runs deep here, and its sad to see that a lot of times, the only ones who dont show it are the exiles from other walks of the automotive life...
