Message to make it a little better, but I think intrinsically the Z is the better track car of the bunch. In auto-xing it becomes a little more difficult.

Tire width, boost lag, and weight hurt it in auto-x. Put a good driver, then only your tires will matter.
Understeer is a problem here, but widen the front track or just switch your rears with fronts and now you have oversteer! I have never had any understeer issues at the track tho.

For the track, the Z is an excellent car. It is balanced and has great transient response. Sure hicas can mess with your mind, but you need to learn to drive with it. At the limit tho, if you know what you are doing, it is nicer to have full control and disable hicas.

I don't know about those mag drivers, but you saw Z's do the IMSA thing and do well. There is some street design in there. The street car does well also. It depends on driver more than anything else! Thats probably why they say these things, because it takes a while to get used to the Z's handling. Once you are, it is extremely potent and capable. This is to say that other cars may be little more forgiving the first few times on the track, but the true side of the car can't be seen until you have put more than a few hours of seat time.

At least the Z still won many of the comparos with the disadvantage.

My opinion,
