No car should come with a solid rear axle either. That's something that belongs on a model t, not a 21st century car

Heh. Agreed. But which is worse: a car with a solid rear axle or one that won't go?

Why put the pickup in the front of the tank, I mean you don't need fuel to stop.

I have no desire to get on that horse. But this is simply inexcusable. And no, "other cars do it" is not an acceptable excuse!

Don't some manufacturers put baffles inside the tank to minimize the gross movement of the gasoline? (I hope that makes sense )

In sports cars typically yes. I haven't looked inside this one so I can't say. However the baffles that are usually placed in the tank are there mainly to stop the rapid weight transfer of the fuel from side to side (tank slosh), not to try and keep fuel near the pump.

unfortunately not. you really have to pull sustained right-hand turn high g's for this to be an issue. and nissan can 'reasonably' claim that those conditions only exist on a race track.

Well, you can do it in a more or less stock car as I proved, but you need considerably less fuel in the tank. Disappointing but not unexpected, it is a common problem in modern pressurized fuel systems.

on street tires, it takes 3-4 seconds with full - 4/5 "dots" to get 'studder'

on race tires, I would imagine the same conditions could starve the motor to the point of stall

still, how many turns do you know of on the street that require driving at 1.0g for 3-4 seconds ??? this falls into the category of so many other things on this car that are not 'race ready'... it is what it is... part of the reason we pay $34K not $70K

Well, no street corner requires 1.0g, but there are lots of corners that are a heck of a lot more fun at 1.0g! If they didn't want us pulling 1.0g corners they should have put the base wheels on all around.
