everyone drives their car differently. i agree with you.. the easy way out would be to make it easiest on the driver. but differently drivers are at different levels... thats like who nissan put bigger rims in the rear to make the car harder to spin out. But it actually slows down the car's capabilities. Thats just my opinion after reading many articles on the issue. I remember there was an article you forwarded to me where a company actually changed the rear rim size to match the fronts so basically all 4 wheels were the same size making the car more predictable. Right now you can drive the car pretty hard and the car will handle pretty well....but for those who've taken it to the limit and seen what happens when it reaches beyond its' limit due to suspension settings/config. know that the car becomes increasingly dangerous. This is all just my opinion.

BTW... let's set up a DIY day for this...

BUMPITY BUMP BUMP w/ some greens and curry on the side

 

BMI did a test of the 350z running on the old tire setup vs the 19s, the end result was that the car laped faster around tsukuba by a few 10th of seconds. however the driver... i dont remember who, i think it was Gansan.. had indicated that the larger tire size makes the car handle better but it also makes it more sensitive and harder to control. its great for skilled pros, but he expects that amature drivers will actually get slower laptime due to the new sensitivity making the car feel nervous.

as mentioned before, they also said that the Z(and G) are tuned for slight understeer on purpose, which is great for amature drivers. I wouldnt try to get rid of the understeer... unless you are real confident in your abilities, 100% neutral cornering can be a dangerous thing.., even the new ferrari F430 is incorporating more understeer making it much easier for regular people to drive on the track compared to the 360. like the lekster said, it depends on your skill level. plus the weight distribution of our car allows professional drivers on BMI to choose between under and over with brake and throttle control just fine.

btw i believe 04.5 and 05s and 06 6mt with the sport suspension option has significantly stiffer rear spring rates than previous models (went from 342 to 427lb/in), the 19s also contribute to make it even stiffer. Theres very little bodyroll. too much stablizer can make the left and right side loose their independence and work against the multilink suspension system by transfering bumps between the wheels.

For those that has aftermarket stablizer on 04.5 and 05s, how much room is there to increase the stablizer before it effects handling in a negative way? also how do they effect comfort of daily driving?
