Nothing happened, and the whole thing happened in less than a second. After I got over the matter, I realized that was not possible and would have crashed into the van if I was still in my Acura Integra. I remember the brakes where horrible on it and the steering feedback was no where as nimble as the Z's. I have no excuse for my moment of carelessness on the road, but I came to the conclusion that, damn, this car is good.

One thing to consider. If you brake full force and try to turn, you won't. That's massive understeer. Fortunately you have a car that really stops amazingly. Last month in my HPD course, we got the cars up to 60 and then full brakes. The Z stopped in less than 3 car lengths. Whew.
