Rather suprised to hear that considering that every review of the corvettes handling state that they tend to oversteer a lot with even a bit of throttle application. Well, if you find a corvette predictable, easy, and understeers, you'll have an easier time with a 370z. The Z does have a shorter wheelbase, but the suspension is quite soft (unless you go with the harder Nismo version which I havent driven), the engine is less powerful, and the suspension is set up from the factory with a bit of understeer. There's nothing unpredictable at all. Of course if you do something stupid like floor it in the middle of a right angle turn in 1st gear, yeah, you'll find yourself facing backwards in a flash. But other than that it's easy to drive.
Of course if you do plan on driving it on snow or on near freezing temperatures, definitely get snow tires. The stock tires are summer only and would not work at all in the winter. |
I'm not applying the throttle when entering a corner. That comes after the apex when I am straightening the wheel and exiting the corner, and it happens smoothly and results in a gentle weight-shift to the rear as the wheel straightens and the car happily lunges out of the corner with very little drama.
I am glad to hear of the 370Z's nature. Frustrated I don't have one yet, not because I don't love my Z06, but because I have made up my mind, and once I make up my mind on something, I want it. Then. However, patience is a virtue, so I console myself with this thread and others.
