Lots of wrecked Z's...

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

Some people can drive, some people can't.

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

that explains why it was a three-way tie for first, with the s2000 and the Mitsubishi eclipse

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

Steve didnt win anything. He can convince himself i am avoiding him or whatever but i already stated my opinion about 100 times in this thread. Not sure what else he wants me to explain that i didnt already do repeatedly on many occasions. Maybe he should clarify his question instead of posting nonsense about dancing or stuff like that.

I'm not really sure where you answered it, but the response was a given anyways... so it doesn't really matter.

I just find it interesting that you've been quite opinionated about matters of handling for almost as long as I've known you on these forums... and only now do I find out that the 370Z is the only RWD car you've ever driven in your life. I guess it just puts things in perspective for myself and others... for better or worse.

Anyways, props to you for honesty. And for helping to keep things interesting.

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!
