Does "Ice mode" occur on base model 350Z's?

I thought I hit ICE mode as well (Look at video above) but looking at my data and watching my video a hundred times I realized it wasnt ice mode as my car was slowing down, I just carried too much speed into braking zone, and my stiff pedal was probably just ABS. My initial thought was ICE since I hear about it 24/7. At this point I believe it wasn't ICE mode but ill never know. I didnt have any problems slowing down for T1 at Thunderhill Raceway Park (130ishMPH braking zone)

It looks like you still had some brakes there. You slowed way too fast to have experienced ice-mode (in my opinion).

My data showed that too, it showed I was slowing down at a decent rate just not fast enough, so like I said I now believe I over shot brake zone, realized I wasn't slowing fast enough, and then hit ABS, thinking that was ice (stiff pedal) and ya lol.

Car didn't have a single problem after that too.

Went to the track with my square set up RS3 tires recently. I had no issues with "ICE" mode at all. There were a few other Z's in attendance that were heavily modified. I spoke to the drivers and they had never experienced "ICE" mode ever.

Here's my second fastest lap of the day. I know I am taking the wrong line at different parts of the track and short shifting as well but it my second track day ever so I don't think I did too horribly.
