Car and Driver Follows Up On Crashed Nismo 370Z

Mag350Z

The June issue of Car and Driver has a two page article about the follow up testing of the 370Z after their crash during the Lightning Lap a few months back.
They used different combinations of brake pads and brake fluids and tested braking results for fade, stopping distance, etc.
Basically they state that the stock brake pads are not strong enough for track use, and recommend upgrading pads and brake fluid for track use. They claim that Nissan has designed the stock pads for low noise and brake dust. Also according to the article, Nissan now offers upgraded brake pads for the sport package. They also recommend adding cooling ducts (?) to the wheel area, as they claim in an attempt to improve aerodynamics, Nissan did not allow sufficient cooling of the brakes.
There are numerous pictures of the different pads demonstrating the wear pattern.
I would scan the article but I am at work.
