Variance in test data? I'm sure it's all well within the margin of error.

I understand variance, but 3300# and 275's out back being within .2g of 3300# and 325's out back and a dry-sump with lower CG in every test I have EVER seen for both the 370Z and Grand Sport that wasn't written with a "gravel on skidpad" disclaimer? The front tires on the Grand Sport are as wide as the rear's on the 370Z.

I haven't had the issue on mine, just trying to help. The penny trick is what? Glued a penny on each of the popers?

I would hope it's within .2 G :icon17:

Cool that sounds much better than glue. So you just popped off the springboots (black poppers) put the pennies in and put them back on?

I went to the dealership to get mine fixed like 3 times, but it still keeps happening. Tried the penny trick and it helped a bit, but I couldn't get the 2nd spring boot off so only one of them has a penny in there. Since I'm getting close to the 36k mile mark, I will try and go to a different dealership to try and get it fixed. Maybe they can think of something.

Mine makes a noise while the gear is in neutral and it's gone when the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down. I can hear the noise everytime I started the car. Other than that, love the car. 9,500 mi DD.

yep, just remove the spring assembly from the hatch, pull down the boot, pull out the spring, drop 2 pennies, re-assemble. takes no more than 5min and $0.04.

Awesome, best/cheapest fix ever, repped....

That's extra weight right there, people spent $1000 to shave 1lb off their car with Carbon Fiber and fancy wheels .....

You guys need to lay off the whole benchracing thing. If you have a chance to drive both, you will know the difference. The Corvette is an extremely difficult car to drive. I owned a non Z06, but I have driven many Z06s and I can tell you they really put the scare in you at the track or even in a parking lot. Heck, I am afraid to drive it on the street. When you spin in a fast car, you hit things a lot harder as you slide a lot more.

Yes, but that extra weight will help balance out our Front/Rear weight distribution.

:happydance:

We need to strap Oprah in the back to get the 50/50 weight distribution :)

Did you guys know the car is more front heavy than the 350.
