Message The manual for the car has a section on body dimensions. Use those to confirm the general dimesions of the undercarriage/unibody have not changed.

Years ago I bought a Mustang. On my test drive it wanted to go towards one side. The dealer corrected the problem and off I went. The first time it needed tires/alignment I noticed it could only be taken to +1 degree on one side. Humnnn... Later I put a Cobra brake kit (13" rotors and rear discs) on it and while doing the job noticed that the K member was displaced to one side about .5" and the 4-link differential mounts were offset .75". This became evident when fatter/larger 17s would rub on one side but not the other. The car was built crooked.

The Z is of much higher quality costing neraly 4 times more than what I paid for the Mustang when both were new. My Z is even in dimesions and has not had any collisions.
