You had a $60K, that's why it handled better than the Z. The weight distribution played a very small role in it

I wasn't a fan of the OEM Goodyear's, but we agree, the problem is the tire. I don't think the 370Z is "special" in some way that causes it to not be controllable in the rain, and I believe I stated as much.
The base C6 and C5 have the same handling characteristics/distribution as the rest of the line and breed. They cost much less than $60K. I could have gotten a base C6 with 2LT package for about the same as I paid for my 370Z. Cost is a poor argument for the weight distribution.
