I really would like an explanation, but he keeps avoiding it at all costs.

The day I went in to test drive a 370 it happened to be snowing. With accumulation to boot. First time behind the wheel and I displayed to the salesman how to properly slide the car sideways, in control, out into the highway. Shortly after that we hit a parking lot where I slid it around a bit more, lol

When I hit the gas in my Z, it spins violently, impacting the rotational speed of the Earth. This hurts all vehicles except those with a SRA. Coincidentally, I'm always out driving whenever MotorTrend is doing a numbers test.

Wait, what were we talking about again?

For some odd reason the rear tires wear out much quicker than the fronts for me at least. Since Zs have wider tires and are somewhat lighter than most cars, could it be that hydroplaning could be an issue in at least a few cases contributing to a higher total amount of wrecks?

It would make sense that since the Z is a more capable car all around (high performance) that it would be safer to drive than a regular car IF driven in the same manner.

Then there is the fact tha most drivers suck!

Steve didnt win anything. He can convince himself i am avoiding him or whatever but i already stated my opinion about 100 times in this thread. Not sure what else he wants me to explain that i didnt already do repeatedly on many occasions. Maybe he should clarify his question instead of posting nonsense about dancing or stuff like that.
