Don't some manufacturers put baffles inside the tank to minimize the gross movement of the gasoline? (I hope that makes sense :ugh2:)

Saw that. You and Travis and a couple of others have died completely at the track, but I think I'm the first one that has managed to successfully kill it on the street :) Mind you the on-ramp I was driving reminded me of turn 3 at Lime Rock and I was driving it as such.

In sports cars typically yes. I haven't looked inside this one so I can't say. However the baffles that are usually placed in the tank are there mainly to stop the rapid weight transfer of the fuel from side to side (tank slosh), not to try and keep fuel near the pump.

Wow this happened to me today! I took a right hander leaving the gate pretty quick with a 1/4 tank + 1 dot and sputter, sputter, pushed in clutch, still sputtered, pulled over to the shoulder, turned it off and she didn't want to back at all. If she did start it felt like I was muscle car with the body flexing to the movement of the engine.

Anyways, got the ride flat bed towed to Nissan they go to take it off the truck and magically the car starts. Of course, this is after I get into it with the Service Rep because they can't find me or my car in the system and they have to confirm with Nissan America that this isn't a salvage or rebuilt car. (It's not...I bought the car straight from Nissan)

Well, this never happened during Auto-X. I guess keeping more than half a tank during the runs prevented this.
