Does the 2006 G35 Coupe have a system that prevents the rear wheels from locking up at high speeds with the ebrake engaged even with the traction control off?

I've tried at ~60mph and I have a suspicion my rear brakes are shot, or there is a system in place to prevent me from doing so.

I appreciate all input, but please keep in mind I was not being reckless, it was on a closed track with all safety standards met.

No, but remember that the Parking brake is designed to hold the vehicle in place when parked. That's why its called a parking brake and not the commonly mistaken for "Emergency" Brake. It won't stop you in an emergency. They aren't strong enough to be used as a common brake device. its just a pair of tiny shoes inside the rear discs.
