like magazine racers.
1. they throw the car semi violently into turns.. you will get too much understeer and you can definately tell the car isnt the lightest right after you get out of an RX8 or s2000 (which are the cars they usually test against it).. its made for a more conservative type driving.. start gettin aggressive once a turn is initiated and the car will definately surprise you with a behaved rear end and very little understeer and good equilibrium.. the Z and S2k have very very close/rivaling track times with equal drivers, and everyone knows that the S2000 is the type of car that is happier in the twisties... so is the Z

2. Straight line acceleration... well i think motortrend is the only magazine that has been able to run the fastest times over the others, with a 13.7 1/4 and 102 mph trapspeed. Fuel cutoff in the car is too early into redline (car redlines at 6600, FC is at 6700) alot of drivers with traction problems (like myself at commerce) find themselves hittin FC from 1-2, and the RE040 tires dont really get along with torque,. but magazines..they wont talk about that.. and alot of morons run the car with VDC on (wont give you a good launch and will kill throttle momentarily when you slam hard into 2nd) i beleive i can get into 13's at commerce with some more practice.. i think im gonna run the 18th regardless of how much alot of people here will make fun of me but i dont really care.. its just for fun, we all start somewhere right?... however i am very confident on the street
who cares what people say. you have the balls to put it on the track with a crowd, fuck em. props to you.
