My 370Z Feels wrong when making sharp turns

Import, only the 350 has the individual readouts. They killed it on the 370

But surely the data is there. I would assume you would need to rip it from the OBDII port, though. That sucks. Oh, well.

It was 14*F when I left for work this morning. I am still on my PZeros.

WinterSports going back on this weekend.

You should talk to b1adesofchaos, he has lots of experience off-roading the Z.

Yeah I have my winter wheels/tires on now.

If you rely on your 370Z every day I think you should invest in a winter wheel/tire setup. You can build one on Tirerack.com that isn't too expensive.

49* here right now. It was 40* when I left home, and the high is supposed to be like 70.

I get the same thing.. when the road is wet you can REALLY hear and feel it.

Rockcrawler · 02-16-2012, 03:58 PM

I was wondering about this, makes sense. I imagine the wider wheels on the sport magnify this by reducing "squirm" and the posi helps make it want to "push" also.

In the technical stuff with the crawler we go from front only to 4wd all the time to avoid the push and squirm and keep your line, air shifted transfer case helps immensely

Because summer compound tires firm up in cold weather. In warm weather they are in their operating range.
