I drove from San Diego to Phoenix to look at some property last week. Its just over 350 miles one way. I drove there in the morning, and returned that night. I was expecting to be sore from all that seat time, but was very surprised at how good the Z is at long hauling. My neck was a little stiff, but that was it.

I even have the s-tune suspension, which is a bit tighter than stock.

My average speed for the day was 77mph. It would have been faster, but I discovered that the cruise control won't set higher than 90.

This car just keeps impressing me even after 2 years of ownership.

So if your worried about taking the car for long trips, don't be. Go for it and enjoy.

 

I drove from the middle of Virginia to Orlando, FL soon after i got my Z. Actually stopped to see some family in SC on the way, so total round trip was over 2000 miles. On the way back from FL, i drove straight home, stopping 2 times i think, but got stuff to go. So i was pretty much in the car for 12 straight hours and I wasn't too stiff when i got home.

 

good thing in phoenix is we have nice highway pavement.
I just went on a trip to cali last weekend and i have travelled 1000 miles with only 25 mins of sleep in 36 hours, no body sore, just tired because lack of rest.

 

been on 1200 mile and 800 mile road trips and it really isnt bad at all.

 

EdgeOfSanity and I must have done the same trips. .. No back pain, nada..
