The Z has trackworthy brakes. They're just not sufficiently cooled. The lack of ventilation is a design flaw.

Hah you quote faster than I edit. The Mustang is in the enviable position of having high enough sales volume to be able to afford a one-off variation for more serious use. We have the Nismo edition in that role, and I totally agree the Nismo should come with an oil cooler and better braking.

The clutch I'm not so fond of compromising on though. Changing out a clutch (to get back to the short quick version we have today) is kind of invasive and expensive, and I'd rather it have a more-tracky clutch in the compromise than a more commuter-friendly one.

i'd rather take the z though, with its flaws on oil cooler and brake pads and clutch (things i can fix) vs certain track capable cars with a super awful interior which i cannot change.

In my opinion, I think the stock clutch is actually very resilient. It can hold 500rwhp without slipping which is pretty incredible if you ask me, although I'm not in love with its high engagement and chatter at times.

Touche! :tiphat:

I bounce back and forth. When I hammer on my Z06, I wouldn't trade it for anything. When I am stuck in traffic or just cruising on the freeway, sometimes I wish I had the 370Z and an extra $500 a month.

This also seems like "not an easy fix."

Pads, I expect to need to do. But brake ducting?

Meh, I enjoy cutting holes in the bumper of my brand new car.

LOL, well...now it has an oil cooler it seems :)
