Yes, it floats. If you were driving on an Autobahn you would be better off with a big, heavy touring car. The sweet spot on the Z set up for the USA is in the 55-90mph range.
Best small car I ever drove for road adhesion (in stock condition) was a Mercedes A-Class (on a European rental). The whole front was a wedge pushing your nose down, so you were absolutely glued to the road when you had the throttle mashed. In fact, that massive downforce limited the diesel to only about 220km/hr. Too bad MB never imported this "lesser" model.
