First Problem With my 370Z

ImportConvert

Only had two cars that would fade on the first stop. A 1995 Trans AM. It went 170K miles on stock rotors. A 1988 mustang GT. I replaced the rotors once just because I wanted to when I was doing the build, and never again.

My 2001 WS6 would have brake-fade after the first few stops from 80 or so.
It warped the rotors once at around 80K miles, and never again during my ownership (sold at 150K miles).

My 370Z has dicked up the rotors and/or pads 4 times in 22,000 miles, but never any brake fade. Just flat-out suck with no warning.

The more and more I read about the BRZ, the more and more I feel like an STi version would be THE car for me. I don't care so much about power, but 20-30whp more than the "regular" BRZ would make it nicer. Think S2000. Everything I read leads me to think the BRZ is like a Corvette...if it were lighter and had better communication with the driver, and less power/grip so you could play more with it on the street. In a 'vette, if you are going fast enough to actually have fun on the street, you're being totally irresponsible and stupid. My a 370Z and "slower", you can have quite a bit of fun without risking any more than your own hide and some scratches on a guard-rail unless you're an idiot. That's what I like. Having a car I can push a bit on the street without acting a total fool. Mind you not in town redlight to redlight, but rather, lazy afternoon drives down a country road.
