The Z seems to hate bumpy surfaces, even more so on corners - a great example would be highway interchanges.

Seems there's always a bumpy interchange ramp, at least in Tulsa, that if you corner even at the posted speed for the ramp, will still toss your car around - where you can feel it lose traction and move outward a few inches at least.

I know my truck used to have a problem with this, but that was due to blown out shocks and worn out tires. Replacing both of those, fixed that problem.

My Civic and my Truck (and definately my motorcycle (not a crotch-rocket)) handle uneven cornering surfaces better than that Z...which is unexpected, to say the least.

So, how does one go about fixing this?
