350Z has higher death vs. the G because your average 350Z owner is probably younger and more likely to drive fast and take risks (less cautious/mature).
Also I think because the Z handles and brakes so good, it gives drivers a sense of being on rails, and when they actually do find the limit and exceed it, the car breaks away so suddenly and quickly they find themselves in the trees/ditches/oncoming traffic etc. before they know it.

well the Z is a newer car. its the best handling car nissan has brought to the US. people are used to sport coupes/convertibles such as the S2000 and Porsche Boxter and such... i have found all these cars grip excellently.. however the 350z requires a slightly more conservative driver, people bash its understeer because they drive it like a porsche or a s2000.. its not a torqueless car and its not exceptionally light you CANNOT throw it violently into turns. you can hold alot of turns in porsches and s2000's @ WOT.. the 350z spins tires badly once it begins to oversteer @ times forcing you to let off the throttle and the car straightens and understeers again. i have found these two tire sizes to work the best. 245/45/18's all around. or if you prefer (usually people with aftermarket wheels) 235/45 front 255/45 rear or 245 fronts and 275 rears. IMHO the 350z recommended tire size is wrong period. the G35 is a 230lb heavier car. and most of this weight is in the rear.. which in the end actually makes the G35 seem like a better balanced car when indeed its not.Originally Posted by ugacivic
