Car and Driver Crashes a Nismo 370Z

If this is the case, then I would have to agree that Nissan has to re-evaluate the pads in the Nismo and Sport package. I think they both (at least the Nismo) should be track ready - including break pads and fluid.

So why isn't this an issue with any other car they tested? Does every other manufacturer deliver track prepped cars for these tests? Or is C&D truly correct in their assessment of how dramatic the onset and severity of the brake fade occurrence with stock pads?

Good points. The Nismo has been marketed as track-ready from day one, as far as I can tell. Nissan even released a statement awhile back that indicated they expected most Nismos to either be put into collections or raced by enthusiasts.

And I too would want to know if other cars in the test were prepped in any way, or were these cars bought through normal channels (As they should be).

If it's Nissan's fault again then that makes two enormous marketing blunders with these cars since their debut a year ago...the first being the fiasco when they delivered oil cooler-equipped cars to the media.

Possible, but I've never seen an offical Nissan statement to this effect, just a lot of "it should be" type statements. If they do claim "track ready", I agree, huge blunder.
