I dunno, I have an '09 and have regularly run the tank down below the 1/4 tank mark and have never had a problem even with spirited driving on curvey roads with and without elevation changes. I wonder if there is a problem or defect with a batch of tanks versus the overall design of the gas tank. Someone who has had the problem definitely needs to cut their tank in half and do a video for the rest of us. Any takers?

Same here, I have an 09 and ran the car a couple time with one LED left on the high way off ramp/on ramp and never had a problem.

I have an 11' and had the Fuel lights down to one and one time it showed the dash marks meaning no more gas and didn't turn off. Idk.

Ditto, no matter how hard I've pushed the car through hard canyon roads or long sweeping on ramps on near a quarter of a tank and RE-11s, I've never had even a hint of fuel starvation. It's weird to see some owners seem to get fuel starvation so often when others never have a problem.

Ah yes...Some good news...

I just plan to keep the gas tank as full as possible...

I will stay positive that this won't happen, and no complaints until it does..

Good to hear that some people don't get the fuel starve problem..

I do love the 370Z....But I loved my ROCK SOLID 350Z that never ever gave me any problems..

I am hoping my purchase of the 370Z 2009 , turns out the same..

I have bigger issues like Brain and Heart problems...Those are tougher to Fix, haha, so 370Z problems are at the back of the bus, in my world..

Have a great Sunday.

everybody has a different understanding of what driving "hard" is...you can take a look at the tank and it tells you pretty much everything you need to know
