steer against the turn and be even with the throttle. that way you will take the turn with the *** out. as the turn ends bring the wheel back and ease up the throttle. it's VERY easy to do and if you want to drive RWD you had better get used to it or go buy a honda.

(At the risk of being flamed)
- too much road roar at highway speeds
- ride is way too harsh and bouncy (never ridden in or driven a car w/as harsh a ride as the Z)
- steering is bit too heavy and can be tiring
- stock stereo sucks (sounds bad when turned up at highway speeds), also wish it had an input jack or tape deck so I didn't have to use an FM transmitter w/my iPod
- trunk is too small/badly shaped (sometimes have had to put stuff in the front seat or have the passenger hold items on their lap before)
- too easy to scrape when going up/down driveways (did it again yesterday)
- oil dipstick sucks

since I got the car 18 months ago, it's been in the shop over 50% of the time.

Several posts edited for name calling. Take it easy guys. It's fine to disagree, but keep the insults to yourself. Thanks.

I wish it were an SUV so I can go snowboarding and then go to the twistys and then peel out in the dirt or asphalt

Damn thing should come with 3 gears like my 76 volkswagen truck

Why did they use aluminum? I would have like Ikea type wood furniture instead

Why is the engine and exhaust so loud? On my PS2 it doesn't sound anything like that

Sure wish they made this into a truck, I can use the bed to haul a piano

I wish it had suicide doors on one side and gullwing on the other to impress my date and pull a james dean stunt so I can pull an insurance fraud when I get bored of it

I wish there was a secret stash to hide my weed so my dad doesn't find it and ground me and end up smoking it

It should have a voice like knight rider but more cyborg like so when people go in theyre all surprised and you're all like yep its got onboard ECAV (enhanced cyborg assisted vehicle)

I wish they used Home Depot paint so when you get a scratch you just go to the local hardware store and do a touch up

PS I regret buying this car and should have bought a Civic and pour 35k into mods.

Ride in my S2000 and you'll see what a harsh ride and high road noise is

Or in my ACR Viper. 1100 lb springs on the rear end. Wicked stiff...the Z is a Cadillac in comparison.

Was that not by choice though? Getting your "stuff" bolted on?

Yeah, I'd be curious. I figured about the only cars in our price range that are as stiff and loud or worse (stock) would be the S2K and the Lotus Elise/Exige.

The one thing I don't like about the car is the presumption that it's not my car.

Since I didnt read threw AAALL of them a lot of these might have been mentioned but here it goes...

-Stereo sucks
-Way too heavy
-My cup holder in the dash on the passenger side wont come out any more
-Every other car out there seems to have the same amount of HP and torque now a days
-I can't sleep IN it(Usually when I'm on break at work I like to sleep in the car)
