As an intermediate I would believe you would already know not to cook ur brakes if you know u are on oem pads etc. No late breaking blah blah. I read everything here before hitting the track, difference mine is a '12 and has a cooler to keep you just enough out of limp mode.

I went to the track stock form to see how the car/brakes etc would handle, and knowing the cars fault, I took it easy which you would anyways on your first day with the Z at the track.....either way I would still say just go but don run 20 min sessions non stop pushing so hard. 4 laps and cool down then get on it again...

That's my thought but I only got about 12 track days on the Z since december.
