Love it. The fact that I could not get a BRZ is what made me buy the Z.

I see a red BRZ in the lot of the whole foods near my work. Get lunch there couple times a week.

The back and side views look sex.

I actually hydroplaned my 370Z on the freeway a few months back. Luckily all ended well, although scary as hell. (VDC on, did absolutely jack **** to help the situation. Probably is part of what screwed things up by hitting the rear brakes in a manner that upset the car when I was SLOOOWLY applying brake and engine-braking it, and resulted in a snap 360* spin-out.)

The fact of the matter is that the tires Nissan puts on the car are pure crap for channeling water. My other sports cars have done better on a wet road with 2/32 tread left than my 9/32 tread tires on the 370 did. It will hydroplane as low as 50-55mph on water about 1/4" deep just trickling across the road.

So far, that is the only bad habit my 370Z has. Treat it like you are on ET Streets, basically. That, I was totally not expecting and it bit me in the arse. Other than that, no problems with it being hard to control.

Dry weather? It's a front-heavy (slightly) sports car.
Wet weather? Treat it like a 70's Hemi 'Cuda on Mickey's.

I knew they were crap during my test drive, I swapped them out at 800 miles and don't really have that problem. I was doing about 115 in the avatar picture

BRZ comes with 215s Michelins, probably not too bad in the rain. Regardless, the accidents will probably go something like this

That was about how much water was on the road when I spun my 370Z like a champ. They hook good in the rain, and they hook good in the dry, but they channel water for crap. Change them out as the first mod is my recommendation, after experiencing their crappiness first-hand.

Yeah the tires are crap in the rain new, I don't even know how guys are riding till 15K with them
