The base brakes are just as good as the sport package brakes in normal driving. Larger brakes/rotors/calipers have increased thermal capacity and can cycle constant hard braking better. Once you have enough brake force available to overcome tire traction, adding more won't make a significant difference.

...and as for the tires...they are the same type/model/brand as the ones on the Nismo, just not as wide (about a 1" difference).

You're lucky he/she admitted fault because they could have easily claimed you lost control of your car and headed towards oncomming traffic.

Glad you're okay

Hopefully final pics...

Where the old man's Camry hit the rear of my car

On a brighter note, this was sitting for sale on the same lot, he either said he wanted 190k or 109k for it. I couldn't help but get a few pics... He didn't want me to get too close to it, so I didn't get any pics from behind since it was pretty close to the fence.

What did he think you were going to do it.......

^^Sorry, I put that comment in a bad spot. I was referring to me getting too close to the M400. He said the alarm would go off

There was no other damage to the rear of the Z besides what is shown in the pics.

Not to sound like a know it all or anything but fun fact: two cars in a head on collision both going 50mph does not result in a 100mph crash. Learned that from Mythbusters! With variations to velocity and mass of each car, the end result is that the two vehicle's momentum will cancel each other out.

Glad the OP got away with only minor injuries.
