Sadly the oil coolers on the newer model 370Zs don't hold up well to track use. Apparently neither do the brakes, even after changing to Nissan's factory option track pads. At least that's what I remember reading when I was thinking about trading in my 350z for the 370z.

Changing fluid + pads gives the 370z about the same track braking performance as you'd expect from factory stock BMWs.
I tracked my '13 370Z at Sebring, with CHIN racing. All i did is replace pads, never went into limp mode, got hot but it was out of limp mode. i never went more than 4 laps at once though.
