I've seen people reported this problem when he was making a sharp turn on a local public road. But yes it happens when the fuel is low.

Yea so have I but only on this forum. I have actually driven my car with the gas light on making sharp turns left and right on and off on ramps trying to duplicate the issue but I never even got a cough so I don't know. Its also a problem never reported by any of my local Z friends or shops some who even race their Z's on the track.

Probably should be driving a little slower if your low on fuel, but hey hard to hold back in this car.

If you are racing, you will run out at 3/4. If you are on the street, 1/4 will probably doom you.

Of course you are, or it is. The fuel pick up is in the same location on all the 370s and the fuel reserve pickup is the same in all car.

True. Yea I'm not saying there seems to be an issue but I don't think its as bad or common as people make it out to be. I was 100% prepared to call a tow truck when my Z died but it never did. Gas light on flying around on and off ramps.
