That's standard practice though. Porsche driving schools have cars that are all equipped with the carbon ceramic brakes, schools that use corvettes use the Z06 or Grand Sport, which have ridiculously huge slotted and cross drilled brakes with very aggressive pads to deal with heat generation, etc. Not surprising at all that special brakes would be equipped for a track-training car, since it sees constant abuse.
Nissan has an absolutely great motorsports division...I just have a major issue with some of the shortcuts taken in the 370z production car...I mean, they actually put in a worse oil cooler than was standard in the 350z....on a car with essentially the same engine generating even more power.
