The 370z actually does really well in the rain.
I agree with you, i love the rain and yes more fun. I have a SC miata i use as my track car and my All season tires (street setup) are very worn to the wear bars and i love driving it in the rain.
This feeling in the Z is nothing like what i enjoy and is unpredictable going in a straight line at 45mph. Like i said i wish someone else would drive the car to more accurately describe the feeling. It requires 10-2 and focus while just trying to cruise.
Ive been autoxing for almost 10 years now so no stranger to getting sideways and all that fun stuff.

Thanks i will get the camber brought in a bit after i get new tires. As far as a "hair" towed in. how much is that exactly in numbers?

I feel that close to zero without being zero is fine.
So consencus -1.5 camber in the back and what about toe?

Also i didnt answer earlier i have stock sways so no adjust ability there.

thanks!
