I just wish for ONCE someone could interview them after they've wimped out through a series of turns and have them explain why they can do 15mph over the limit on the straight sections while weaving all over the place, but they cannot just go at a moderatly decent pace through a not very technical section of 30-50mph turns?!
We have a special variant of this kind of driver here in Colorado; they'll sit literally 6 inches from your bumper going down-mountain, but figure 10-under the limit is as fast as God intended going up-mountain.

It's not a power thing - cheap Hondas have 300HP now - it's some sort of perception issue with the up and down of the road.

As for the corners, your Z actually masks just how well it can go around a bend compared to a common econo-box... So what we figure to be not exceptionally challenging at 40mph will see a sport bike laid over to the foot-peg to do it at the same speed - and be completely out of the ballpark for the above-mentioned Honda.
