Good one! I have not had starvation but I've considered the thousand dollar fix anyhow (I don't like surprises) have you wound an off-ramp yet and lost power??

Honestly, I never have, despite putting myself at risk nearly every tank. I go way less than 1/4 tank, but I've never had a problem in my DD. I've almost always got a full tank before I go out for spirited driving - you never know where you might end up

never had this issue with my Z, but then again i never took it to the track...what most people forget though is that there have been quite a few people over on the FR-S forums complaining about the same fuel starvation issue as well, so it's not a problem limited to just the Z unfortunately.

This happened to me the other day and freaked me right out. I thought it was the traction control but i wasn't slipping, hell it wasn't even that hairy of an off ramp. I down shifted to 4th at 60 and turned right and WTF!
