07 350z high speed driving question
Hello everyone. Was driving on the highway yesterday in 07 Z with stock tires. I wanted to push the car, so I took it up to 105MPH. was taking a curve on the highway and car felt unstable for a second. As if the car lost traction for a split second, some kind of flouty feeling. Is this normal? Are stock tires to blame?

The question is relevant for all 350Z drivers.
At some point, depending on surface conditions and other factors, the tires are going to break traction. There are better tires available, but they will not turn the 350Z into a Formula One racer. If you decide to push the limits and test your skills, I suggest that you attend HPDE.

uhhh, the OE Bridgestone RE040's aren't bad tires, they have pretty good grip, there are a lot of things that could cause you to get squirly. I wouldn't blame the bridgestones. I put the new Pole Positions on my car and I haven't done much aggressive driving yet, but so far they are awesome. For all you toyo guys, you should try the new pole positions if you like performance more than looks.

I had this same problem with my 07. I lowered my car (feels little more stable) and I'm going with Nismo sways, and gt spec front and rear braces to tighten up my suspension and hopefully fix this problem.

Edit: and so are RE050s.

instead of spending money on worthless mods like an aftermarket intake that will virtually do nothing for your car, use that money to take a racing/driving school and learn to drive your car the way it was meant to be driven.

search for circuits in illinois, then find a track day event to attend...they'll most likely have instructors to help you
