Car and Driver Crashes a Nismo 370Z
 

February Car and Driver has their annual lightning lap article.
They wrecked a Nismo 370Z, and blamed it on brake failure.
They also had some comments regarding the car's power output.

Vids, links, pics??

more info please

Brake failure?

Interesting...

Only a fool blames the equipment!

This should prove interesting...

they probably got the dreaded ice sand effect and ran out of track...

so who pays for the car?

Or "ran out of talent"

ha, a nice reference to another thread here. +1

Nismo 370Z
 

I tried scanning the article but my scanner is acting up. Anyway, it is in the Feb Edition of Car and Driver. I'll try again later.
According to the article Nissan claims that the brake pads were not the 'track applicable' pads.

They know the left pedal is not the brake?

that'd be pretty sad if that was the case and they blamed it on the brakes...

kinda like this scene

Pretty sure MANY 370s have been on a track without crashing using stock pads. Nice they blame the car instead of their driving though...
