yep, especially at ~6lbs/gallon for gas. Keeping the Z full is lot of extra weight.
I hope phunk's solution turns out well. I'm surprised it took this long, since I don't think it should be a difficult fix.

Ask Mike (the powdercoater), chris slicks, cossie or anyone else here that tracks aggressively.

Even my wife has had to keep the tank topped up betwn sessions and she is not as fast as the guys above...yet. (still getting comfortable with the Z vs our last cars that she tracked that were awd).
yep. very easy to get stutter-starve with a nearly full tank.

you can actually hear my car stutter-starve on some of our dragon runs, and god knows I wasn't driving hard.
