If I remember correctly, the RA1's are a far stickier tire than the RE11, so that is quite an improvement on brakes alone. I only had 8 track days and about 800 miles on my old Z. I wish I could have afforded more. Track driving is more addicting than crack I'm pretty sure.

My 370z could pull more Gs under braking than my 350z on the same brake pads (370 has 265 RE11 and 350 has 235 RA1s). I could also get a lot more laps out of the 370 before starting to get a hint of fade. My 370 on RE11 was 1.5 sec faster than my 350 on RA1s at VIR.
