hahah. yea seriously. so, in your opinion, the Z handles better than a car that you've never driven? And you know exactly how to cure the understeer at the track, which based on the fact that the Z is your first RWD Car, i seriously doubt you've taken it to auto X, much less a road course, and even if you did, you probably drove it gingerly (as anyone would if they are an inexperienced driver). but please, continue talking about the handling characteristics of a car you've never driven, and continue talking about how to handle a Z on a track, a place you've probably never been.
