I bought the Z through a local dealer from another dealer and had to wait for delivery. In the week I waited, the dealer gave me a loaner Z that had essentially bald tires. One moderate throttle application mid-turn and I was slideways back and forth within inches of the curb multiple times. Without prior experience I would have had no shot at recovering, and it was still unexpected and scary as $hit. While I made sure to let the dealership have a piece of my mind for giving me a sports car with tires with 3/32" tread remaining, it was definitely a lesson that was reinforced hard: respect the powah.
With improper throttle application, a boosted Z can easily make brand new, warmed-up, performance tires act like they are bald ![]()
