mine was caused by a guy turning left who failed to yield the right of way and cut me off. Z, ferrari, or minivan, i would have still had an accident regardless of what i was driving. but to answer your question, most of the accidents are caused by idiots turning off vdc (usually during rain) and driving more aggressively without knowing how to handle rwd car or correct oversteers. if you're coming from a z06, then you already know how to handle rwd cars and fishtailing. driving the z won't be a problem for you. of course, there's always the chance that another idiot on the road will cut you off and destroy your car.

After they crash their Z, they will know how to drive a RWD car in the future
