The 370Z guys seem to have a lot of issues with ice mode, and most think it's due to their "Brake Assist" function which adds additional pressure during panic braking, same as our cars. Whatever it does seems to cause the ABS to kick in which reduces your braking to about 30%. Using grippier tires and more agressive brake pads just makes the problem worse. The other consistent issue is stabbing at the brakes versus more progressive braking. I think having any throttle input while braking probably causes something to freak out these days as well, due to logic added after the whole Toyota throttle sticking fiasco.
Almost all modern cars seem to have issues with this. 370Zs, Miatas, Corvettes, Mustangs, etc. and some get it and some don't so it's definitely tied to driver behavior in some ways as well.
I just added some gripper front pads we'll see how things work at our next event.
