My two cents...
I don't know the causation of increased numbers of accidents involving the 370Z vice the 350... While your premise may have better than 50/50 accuracy, I would say it only holds true for rear-end collisions when the 370 is stopped. I suspect more data would need be collected to determine if the numbers of 370 accidents to date were weighted more heavily toward rear end collision or otherwise.
Having said that... If indeed it is found that rear end collisions have a higher incidence of occurrence and that the actuary tables indicate an increased risk: It does make the case for Driving the 370, vice ever stopping for a light or a sign...
I'd be happy to start a federal petition (in another thread) in the hope that enough grass-roots signatures would result in making the 370Z exempt from all penalty when Rolling (for safety's sake) stop-signs and red lights. Also known as the "California Stop" or the "Massachusetts Ooze" perhaps we can cut down on the number of accidents involving the 370Z. Personally, I feel we would be delivering a public service.
I'll cite the obvious engineering fault only recently discovered that has created a visual impairment and obvious increased risk to our fellow enthusiasts - indeed - the public at Large...
Before I go through the effort and lengthy process of drafting and preparing the bill - Is there any interest?
