Message Your Z can probably tow that much by capacity, but is it capable?

Please make sure your tongue weight is correct on the trailer, otherwise it's going to fishtail and it might not be a recoverable condition at speed. Looks like you might be heavy with the car rolled all the way to the front.

I personally wouldn't tow with that configuration any great distance. The tow vehicle needs to be bigger than what it's towing so it doesn't get bullied from the back end and doesn't handle well. Trailer brakes can help equalize this if they're available. At least you would have some control over the trailer if it fishtails.

When was the last time you *really* did something with your Z to call yourself a Z enthusiast?
