i guess it is still good we are pissing on each other over cars, better than politics.
intersting choice of car for the runoff!
8 and z are both great cars in their own rights. you dont have to like it, but at least respect them.

The Yaris has been interesting... But hell, I would race a Yugo if they were paying.

I think it is less so with Solo, only because you are not trying to adjust individual cars within a class. In Club Racing each car has its own spec line, so trying to find balance is a nightmare. With Solo your car is competitive or its not.

Also I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but the 370Z uses the brakes to prevent one wheel burnout. You can't disable it even when VDC is off.

That was not the case in the two 2009 cars I have driven... The Touring left a 60' patch off of the drivers side rear when pulling out of a left sweeper. The sport only got a little spin-up, there was no issue with the VDC.

You can still do a one wheel burnout, but it is more limited on the 370 over the 350 because the car will apply brakes to the wheel that is spinning faster than the other wheel. You can't disable it even with the VDC off, it is called the ABLS. You will see the slip light going on when it is active. (it is only at autox, maybe tight corners out of a track) It doesn't slow down the car a lot, but it might make a difference maybe? I just want to throw it out there. Regardless, the 370 has way more rear grip than the 350. With stock suspension and the stock stagger size tires, it is nearly impossible to pitch it loose unless you do something stupid or purposely try to do so. The 350 would go sideways whenever you want. Also the 350 FEELS a lot stronger than the 370 at the low end, not sure if it is the case. RX-8 is in between the 350 and 370 where the 350 likes to oversteer and the 370 likes to understeer. It feels like RX-8 is right in the middle stock to stock
