I've got the G load traces showing how well the Z slaloms -- when it has grip (there was very little grip at Topeka, and the G load traces show that).
I've spent a lot of time working on the nut connecting the steering wheel and the seat, and the only time that the Z really has problems is when things are painfully slow (Evolution Phase 1 school, for example). Picking up the pace and the car almost flies through the same maneuver.

I autox today with a set of left over V710 from last year. I don't know if it was the tires, or the full tank of gas. The car drove 100x better as it had a little more grip and just much better over all compare to my Azenis Rt-615. These 710s are definitely on their last leg, but it was just enough for me to squeeze .3 sec to get a win out in BS again. The course also favor the Z too as there were less slow tight turns with a couple nice straights.
Thanks for the advice on the full tank, I will use that from now on. I am sticking with 245 because I drive my car on teh street. I don't know how 275 on 7.5 will feel on the track or on the road, so I will give up a little grip for comfort. Lastly, race tires are the best cure for the plow...

I am the king of BS... And that has nothing to do with autox.
