Nismo has the same problem. It's just a design issue with the tank or pump, whichever way you like to put it. A lot of cars on the road has the same problem, EXCEPT

A: Not many are this severe. I can hit fuel starve at 3/4 full tank on RE11, think about guys running slicks.
B: I have never heard of people not be able to restart the car after, leaving you stranded like I was in my case.

Remember the Z has a 18 gallons tank, to starve at 3/4 means that you basically run out of fuel at 14 gallons or so, which is scary to think about...

You guys need to stop thinking like this was designed like a race car, it was built as a mass produced vehicles and they look for cost savings and space savings at the end of the day. The racing history has nothing to do with it and frankly none of the race cars share the same features as the street car short of the dash layout and the body shape. Lotus Elise has the same problem too, same with Corvette, but none are this severe.
