My theory does on ABS sensors recating funny when the rear will do not have enough road contact.
As said before, we may to adjust our driving styles accordingl until a solution is found...

Yes I understand the difference between the ice mode and brake fade. At autox, there is no way you can generate enough heat or speed to fade the brakes. What I felt was clearly ice mode where the brakes would just pulsate and not stop. The C6 was notorious for thatThe RX-8 rarely got into ice mode compare to the Z and other cars.
Ice mode is normal as to prevent brakes from constantly locking in the snow
