Where he lives and how much fuel costs is irrelevant to this discussion. The problem is manufacturers selling us 'sports' cars without a surge tank in the fuel tank and without baffled oil pans.

This is a problem on the EVO Xs as well when youre tracking your car and generating any major cornering forces below 1/2 tank of gas.

If it only happens at 1/4 tank and below on the Z, that's not THAT bad compared to other manufacturers but still unacceptable and unsafe on the track.

OP, add a 2nd fuel pump and surge tank to solve the fuel starvation issue.
