The average is 100. The average is determined by all of the cars in each class. If you look at the right side of the website, it shows you different classes. In this case, 100 is the average for "Sports Models." So this would imply that the 370Z is 88% above average in terms of collision, but 12% below average in property damage. It's simple, really. Also, you keep dancing around the other point I keep making... |

And the categories don't make any sense either. Mitsu eclipse in the same class as corvette zr1? And funny how the m3 is in the "luxury" section and not in the sports section. And audi r8 is considered "large" but the GT-R is "midsize" :rolleyes: Quote:

Regarding classification... all we have to go by is how the IIHS classifies the vehicles... it's complete enough to get an idea of relative accident rates. And it's the point you keep avoiding. |

Anyways, this is the point: http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...ml#post1465907

I dont get it. I never drive with VDC on except in rain or heavy mist. the 370Z drives way better at the limit then my mustang every did. It handles very well. Large amounts of grip. feels safer then a vette. So i say. Go take advanced driving and racing classes

maybe since they depreciated so much, it's all those high school kids watching fast and furious movies who buy them and crash them.

I can't believe that nobody has even mentioned visibility in the 370Z as the culprit. People may not realize they are in a dangerous situation until it's too late and then they overreact and cause the car to go out of control. Perhaps the huge side mirrors and horrible rear 3/4 view is to blame for some of the accidents? The car is also fairly short and so it might be easy to miss in the blind spots of other cars.
I don't want to get sucked into the physics debate but the last time I went (purposefully) sliding on ice in an AWD Audi TT it didn't matter where the weight was or what nanny systems were on, it did not do what I wanted it to do because of the TIRES NOT GRIPPING ON THE ICE! Surface tension reigns supreme in a grip debate and there are just too many variables when driving on the street (pot holes, elevation changes, inconsistent surfaces, chemicals, debris, etc). For the record I have driven 800+ different cars in all my years playing every iteration of Gran Turismo so I am declaring myself an authority on the matter of AWD cars spinning out during panic stops (reference Tokyo Route 246). :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: |

From what I remember of what's posted on the forum, most of the wrecks are single car accidents where someone just drove too aggressively for their skill level. So blind spots wouldn't really matter there. |

I really would like an explanation, but he keeps avoiding it at all costs. |

When I hit the gas in my Z, it spins violently, impacting the rotational speed of the Earth. This hurts all vehicles except those with a SRA. Coincidentally, I'm always out driving whenever MotorTrend is doing a numbers test.
Wait, what were we talking about again? |

For some odd reason the rear tires wear out much quicker than the fronts for me at least. Since Zs have wider tires and are somewhat lighter than most cars, could it be that hydroplaning could be an issue in at least a few cases contributing to a higher total amount of wrecks?
It would make sense that since the Z is a more capable car all around (high performance) that it would be safer to drive than a regular car IF driven in the same manner. Then there is the fact tha most drivers suck! |
