Agreed and just think what you could do with some real negative camber and toe out up front. My car pretty much goes where I point it even if I do stupid stuff. People are amazed by my car in that respect so I have never understood anyone with some level of mods indicating these cars push. Never experienced it and with 315 Hoosiers I rarely find so much grip I can't goose it out of a slower turn but that's so rare it rarely happens to me.

The one thing the Z has as an advantage over EVOs and Porsches is it ability to turn like crazy. My issue is more with being able to put down my 450 hp lol! I leave two big strips of rubber out of slower sweepers.

The car does turn hard once modified. With -3.5 up front it is extremely nimble in the slow stuff. Like I said I only get push in the higher speed 55-70mph maneuvers with too much rear tire. I'd really be better off with a square setup for auto-x.
