Keep in mind you are dealing with a short-wheelbase car in the 370Z.

@ m4a1mustang....arent ALL sports cars short wheelbased? Is the Caymen or 911 wheelbase significantly larger than the 370, some of the 911's do close to 200mph. Now I know the 370Z is not on a GT3 or Turbo 9111 level but I wouldnt expect it to be so loose. Its all good. I have seen what it does enough to not want to take it there again. Thanks to you, leighsppd and honeybadger for your input though.

thanks

I think the suspension is most capable of handling well at speed below 120, that just my experience

i dont really think i should have the experience of knowing how well handle at those speeds consider how few miles it has on it

They can't Intice u to race like that. It's illegal and that cop should get a ticket for speeding.

toxik · 04-29-2011, 03:55 PM

holy lollies

m4a1mustang · 04-29-2011, 04:04 PM

It's not entrapment. You don't have to race the guy just because he's acting like a d-bag.

It's just like that show "Bait Car" on TrueTV or whatever that channel is.
