Learning the handling on a new car car is not something new for me. I have a little over 30 years of racing experience both as an amatuer and profesionally. I have also built complete chassis for what used to be the Trans-Am series. With my background I have been very fortunate enough to be tapped to test many different road cars during the development phase of the vehicles. It has given me a respect for cars and how individual each car is. The Z is very different in the handling department and I can see how a jounalist could get the wrong impression from the car. If they had more time with it I have little doubt the negative press would be at a minimum. With just street driving I think the Z would benefit greatly from a stiffer rear sway bar. It just needs a little more to get it to rotate through the turns. I recently drove an e92 M3 and the two cars are night and day different in the handling department. Some I expected some not. Not better or worse just a completely different feel. I will enjoy getting to know the Z and sorting things out to my liking. It won't take much to make this an incredible all around car.
Perhaps you can design a Mod-Add-On and go into business

so lets get them pictures up even wet the car looks sexy so get out there and take a picture
