Just figured I'd throw in my two cents...I know what Dave means by, "It feels like I'm driving a tank". When I first got mine, I was a bit unimpressed by the way the car felt so "heavy" carving turns. I finally got used to it. When it came time to replace the clutch and pressure plate, I decided to nix the dual mass (tank) flywheel, and went with a Fidanza Hi-Performance flywheel. Kept the OEM clutch kit because I like the way it responds. As soon as I pulled away from the shop, I noticed that there was a HUGE difference in the way the car drove. It literally felt like they pulled 400 lbs. out of the car. Much more nimble, instant response, and 20 extra HP at the wheel to boot. The car is seriously amazing now. I also added the NISMO wing to it because I didn't like the length of the line from the roof to the rear edge of the hatch. It was too long for me, so I added the wing to break it up. You think you can't see out the back of your car? Hehehehe...my rearview mirror is angled to just peek above the wing and below the roof line. Once I got used to that, I was surprised at how much I could see through that little sliver of window. Unless you're backing up though, you don't really need it anyhow..."What is behind you is of little consequence". And like the rest of you, If I could drive the Z to get the mail, I would. Easily the nicest, most fun car I've ever owned

when parking always back in so u don't have to back out. that's what I do. because its safer. unless im in a rush to pee. also blind spots take a week or two to get use to but now I drive fine. the back is actually really small. so looking at your side mirrors and the window is enuf. I do that n never cut people off now unless im purposely doing it to switch into lane.
also an unwritten rule.
1. if a g35 or 350z is beside u at stop light. 100 % race time.
2. if a g35/g37/350z/370z/anyZ tryna switch lanes u always let them pass.
