I take a little exception to some of the comments that have been made in a somewhat condescending way. Everyone is a beginner at some point in time.
You are fortunate nothing serious came of it and because of you sharing your experience, it'll make me a little more cautious. I too have felt the rear end want to break loose in third gear and also have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Fast Intentions did warn me about the tires. They are a great tire, but apparently not for the boosted.
Enjoy your ride!
Cheers

You are getting a lot of stuff thrown your way and you got to have some thick skin as some people are just over the top. Most just want you to learn how to get the most pleasure and fun out of your vehicle. You have been given solid advice about tires and mechanical upgrades that will and do help with the performance of your Z as you grow your skills. My very first driving instructor at the track gave me some very sound advice that has stuck with me. He said you have awesome car and it is really fast and for many that is a problem because you want to go fast before you know how to be fast and a slower less horsepower car is generally the best way to learn. So you need to be disciplined in your learning and remember that as you get faster the consequences increase almost logarithimically. Your car will and can kill you!
I think this thread has been good for a lot of people. If you haven't been around the forum much you will quickly figure out those that have significant knowledge about our platform and you should filter your advice to those few. PM folks as most of us are glad to help as we have had much opportunity to learn ourselves and continue to do so. I hope you the best of luck and happy boooosting!
