I was driving spiritly and I hit too much gas while making a left turn. There went the Z's A** and I was like . I had the car only for 3 months at that point.
i think most people think the Z sways too much because they dont know the limits yet of the car. once you know where the car's rear breaks free then i think one would understand that the sway isn't all that bad. i thiink people get scared and start claiming it's the car, not the driver.

Most people also don't understand the difference between power-on oversteer and the actual balance of the car. Most people seem to get in trouble when they give too much throttle around a turn... or like I mentioned above when they try to drift.

Yeah that was the first and only time I didn't intentionally break the rear end loose. but I knew right away it was me giving to much throttle on the turn and not the car being weird.
