Test Driving a 370z

Isn't the steering stiffer the faster you go?

Are you sure it was a 370Z and not a 350Z? The 370 is super light compared to the 350. The 370 should feel very light and normal like most cars.

What do you mean by most cars? I have driven P71 cop cars (crown-vic's) and my G20 and even my build fox-body 5.0 and they were all WAY lighter than the 370Z's steering. Then they are not meant to handle. My '95 and '01 Trans Am's had steering very comparable to the 370Z in weight.

For "most cars", the 370Z is heavy. For a sports car, it's about right.
