The AF 350Z participated in the NASA-sanctioned Mid-Ohio racing event (Lexington, Ohio). This was a wonderful opportunity for Igor Sushko to gain track experience, and he managed quite well. However, there was an incident:
"As I was coming out of the carousel and into the straight by the stands (people that have been on the track may recall the slight elevation hump), my rear end broke loose on me big time, going around 60 mph. I did a full 360, with my rear end inches away from the outside concrete wall, and ended in the forward going position right by the wall... I tried my best to steer the mofo away, but regrettably I did hit it a little ...

Furthermore, the Potenza S-03 tires ended up being a great pick, as rain fell upon the track on Friday. The 350EVO swaybars and the wider front tires eliminated almost all understeer. Once the project gets 275/40/18 performance tires up front along with adjustable race coilovers, this 350Z should possess incredible handling! |
