I don't have any curves like that to try on.

This is not a daily street driven problem for most. I fill my tank at half, to keep the fuel pump immersed and cool. I live on a winding mountain road and this is not a problem for me, except at the track.

For you guys WHO never had the fuel starve problem, can only guess about it. It's real and it sucks when it happens.

I've never seen you drive your Z either. Or even a video of it.

once you see --- you got about a gallon and a half left.....

my starvation issue happened with 3 dots and a nice long fast right hander off memorial here in houston. as the image shows the green line means im on the gas, yellow is where i start to sputter and luckily coast to my final spot indicated in red. i tried to start it for 3 minutes but the 100 degree heat had me and my dog hailing a cab to the gas station.

I can't fault you either.

How often does some idiot spoil it for you?
