The optional ones come on the sports package and thats something you need if you are going to do anything other than putt around town in your new 332hp Z. I have a feeling that even the upgraded ones in the performance package are going to melt after a 30 minute session on the track. They dont look like anything special, just default 4-pots. Im going to be going to one of the following...

and then there are obcenities like this.

If you buy the nismo, you get the optional breaks. I have taken the care to the track (texas world speedway) once so far (2 days - 4x 25 minute sessions each day) and the breaks performed flawlessly. On the second day in the afternoon sessions the instructor asked me a couple of times how are your breaks feeling (I was hitting them really hard the entire time) and I had absolutely no problems - just a little dust at the end of 2 days. Granted it was 85 degrees both days so it is not August yet so I will find out later in the summer just how good the breaks are under extreme heat conditions. Just my 2 cents worth.

Good to hear your brakes braked, but didn't break
