Hi all
I'm having a problem with my Z - the handling is unpredictable and occasionally tends towards massive and unexpected oversteer.
I drive the same road every day and yet sometimes under moderate power the back end repeatedly steps out and has to be corrected (in a big way) by the stability control. Yet other days it is fine. I had put it down to ice but now the weather has warmed up it is clear this is not the case. When it happens there will generally be a number of 'moments' in quick succession even driving gently. Then after a period of time the car returns to normal. It is as if the tyres get covered in oil and then it works its way out. Several times I have stopped and checked the rear tyres are still inflated!
Before you all point out that there is 300bhp through the rear wheels - I've driven this road with a variety of powerful RWD cars before, including one with no traction or stability control, and never had a problem. When I got the Z I expected to turn the electronic nanny off and drive it like my previous RWD car, but it is apparent that this would result in leaving the road backwards after a very short period of time!!
Any ideas? All I can think is some sort of diff problem?? Obviously I've check the basis like tyres inflated, have tread, etc!!
All suggestions thankfully recieved.
Will.
