Nose heavy yes, but I like the front air dam. Could do without the second
tier hood scoop and I miss the reflectors in back.
You have to wonder if the Z has all the frame mods and reinforcements
necessary to keep those 300+ horse power in line?

Subject: [Roadsters] a lesson / contrast in suspension balance, L-6 roadster
vs V-8 Zcar
Have a look at the two engine bay shots of these two cars, and notice how
much
of the engine is sitting FORWARD of the shock tower / suspension pivot:
V-8 Z-car:

L-6 roadster: (can you say "nose heavy"?

even in a straight line, I can only imagine the pitch-up / unweighting of
the
back end of that roadster when the brakes are slammed on. The lack of
traction might be good (or bad) for drifting, I suppose. (with a tire
sponsor!)
