I think the brakes from my previous Nissan G35S and my wife's M35X were actually very good. We never had any issues for these kinds of emergency stops on highways.
Of course, huge Brembo brakes from my GSF are a little bit better but only feel much better on TRACKS... (not much better on daily uses as I don't race on public roads)

Not sure why... This issue happened on EVERY car wash!!!
I also did some research for this issue and found actually many people had this issue... It could also happened on many different cars such as Porsche, GT-R, Corvette, BMW...
The solution is I have to put the car in forward and reverse gears and give some throttles several times to FORCILY release the sticky brakes...
This issue never happened on my Nissans...

So, I think this stuck brake issue should not happen in Taiwan as in USA people usually wash their cars at home... (They usually will not drive their cars after a car wash)
The good news I only wash my GSF every 2-3 months...

In my opinion, for these V6 or V8 engines it's NOT true!!!
You just have to choose the RIGHT GEAR...
As my previous Nissan's 5AT didn't have overdrive gear on highways(always at SPORT mode), I have some difficulties in driving GSF at Normal/Sport mode on highways. So, I realize that I was totally spoiled by these automatic transmissions and need to know about gearing... (I need to choose the RIGHT gear especially for 7 or more speed ATs based on different driving conditions!!!)
Of course, I always can change to SPORT+ mode and let computer do the job but the MPG will not be good...(just like my previous Nissan)

However, if you know which gear you should use based on different driving conditions, these NA engines should be faster and more fun than those turbo engines... Why???
That's because recent turbo engines usually sacrifice some high-rpm performance to get better low-rpm torque. If you really want you car be fast, high-rpm performance is EVERYTHING!!!

A little more work...(still much easier than manual transmission)
But, it's definitely more fun for some car enthusiasts like me. And, I believe the result should also be very rewarding... (Don't let those fool-proof ATs ruin your gearing technique!!!
)

Nowadays, ATs are so much better and have much more gears with very aggressive lockups. So, we can also have good funs on modern ATs but don't have those extra works from manual transmissions...

For my tastes I think Honda engines lack enough torque at low rpm. But, with some good gearing techniques Honda engines could be very fun on highways!!!
Of course, even at low rpm V6 or V8 NA engines still have good torques and much better than those small Honda VTEC NA engines...

I also played with gearing stead of using sport+ mode. Wow... That's really fun!!!
I should have used manual gearing 4 years ago...
Actually I used it for my previous Nissan but it's not really necessary as its transmission only have 5 speed and its rpm kept around 3000 on highways which already had good torque.However, in GSF it's a lot more fun... Why?
1. GSF's engine is much more powerful (467 vs 310)
2. GSF's engine sounds much better
3. GSF's transmission has 3 more gears (8 vs 5)
4. GSF's transmission has much more aggressive lockups. I didn't feel any slip on its torque converter but I might feel slip on Nissan old 5AT sometimes. (Nissan's newer 7AT could be better)
I think GSF's 8AT is just like a manual transmission without a clutch!!!
(very direct and no slip)

But, the good news is GSF already has a big dedicated ATF cooler from factory... I think it should not be easy to run overheat on ATF even though I paly with the 8AT a lot.
Although I played with 8AT on my GSF today, I still got 11km/l on highway.
15 years ago I got 12km/l at best on my previous 2000 Maxima on highway in Taiwan...
Of course, Maxima is much lighter (3300lbs vs 4030lbs) and also much less powerful (222hp vs 467hp)And, I didn't play with 4AT on Maxima... (I tried but no fun because 4AT could slip and was not as direct as MT)
