If you go to track the car, even then, the oil cooler is more important than the brakes. At least, that's what Bryan Settle told me, and he knows a thing or two about tracking a Z.
I think that's a little dangerous...

If you think about it, the stock pads are not up to the task of operating at track temperatures. They will overheat, the fluid might boil, and you'll be stuck without brakes... very dangerous!

Now, for a stock car, it's probably going to be a little difficult to get to that point because the car would likely enter limp mode before you overheat the brakes. Add an oil cooler so the car can run the full ~30 minute session and you've got a good chance of roasting the brakes and not having them when you really need them!

If you track, brakes and and oil cooler are definitely a must! Brakes to keep you from killing yourself and the oil cooler to allow you to stay out on track for the full session.
