Anyone experience this? I came from a very agile RWD car that stuck to the road like it was on rails. My Rx8, because of my setup, had more grip than the 370Z but that's not my issue. I just feel the 370 is all over the place at high speeds. Alignment is stock. This car bounces like a basketball whenever it hits a bump at 60 + mph highway speeds. I also have to make constant steering corrections because the rear end feels like its wondering left and right at high speeds 80 + mph. Keep in mind that it did this on stock suspension. Then I put springs and camber arms in the rear. Still all over the place. I mean hasn't anyone else noticed this or am I too picky?
.
I've owned my Z for a couple of months now and can say that I haven't experienced any of the issues that you've described. Mine handles extremely well overall, tracks straight as an arrow at any speed (I've had it up to about 130), and feels stable and stuck to the road.

None of these issues came up when you test drove the car? I must have had my sales guy away from the dealership for a good half-hour putting mine through the paces in every reasonable circumstance that I could think of. I wanted no surprises in how the car behaved after owning it for a week.

Let us know if you find out anything regarding the diff bushing, like jpkirk mentioned, or anything else. I would be interested to know exactly what the problem is.
