Just did a quick google search - it means that at high speeds the car will stay on the ground.

They also discuss on Best Motoring "The 350Z shock" episode, here (it says the video isn't currently available, it should be available later):

Look for the part where they take the 350Z and the R34 GT-R on the high-speed track, that's where they mention zero-lift. They compare to the GT-R, which has downforce.

In drifting it means not leting off the gas going into a drift.

i remember seeing that cusco makes a zero-lift product for the wrx. thought it had to do with suspension travel on awd vehicles.

am i thinking about the right thing?

LOL - STOP GUESSING PEOPLE!

It's the aerodynamic principle that the car produces no lift and no downforce.

Lift = upward force

Downforce = downward force

Zerolift = maybe you can figure it out ?

NAh, zerolift means that if' you already have a passenger, you can't give a lift to anybody else with a Z.

Is it really that hard for you guys? Seems pretty common sense to me. zero-lift=no lift. Lift pulls upward and that's good for things that fly. Car's shouldn't fly so zero lift is good.

Zero lift is a function of the ECU that allows power upshift.
You don't need to lift from the thottle when shifting !
