Yep, and it's not just an issue with the Z. There are issues on cars you'd never think of such as ice mode cases with certain years of the GT3 RS, Lotus Elise and Exige, Camaros, Caymans, well you get the picture. Specific events can trigger ice mode regardless of the car.

Oh, and I have base brakes and have only experienced the slightest of fade on the fast downhill section of Mulholland chasing a GTR and E90 M3. I am going to upgrade the pads and fluid soon, then I will have complete confidence in them.
