ZRA

I've read the threads on the ages of Z drivers. Now I wonder who is the oldest Z driver on the forum, and their top speed so far? I'll be 70 in Dec. and did 105 MPH for a short burst. This wold be interesting. SB 05 Touring.

You are quite possibly one of the coolest 70 year olds I know of. Keep it up (no pun intended).

ZRA

Thanks Kalima, I've always loved sport cars when I could afford them, but the Z is the best!

Damn ZRA. I was born in 1949, and thought that I was the most senior 350Z driver. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t win any of these polls.

My Dad just got an SLK 350 and he is 87! He keeps it around 80-85 when hes cruising on the freeway.

He is the coolest!

I want to get a friend to drive it and race me in my Z and see how it compares.

26..... 2:30am 350Z ZR 151mph against a red 1992 300zx Twin-turbo which actually lost to me. :shrugs:

ZRA, you are one in a million. If there were more people like you, i wouldn't be stuck behind some slow a** **** doing 35 on a 50 MPH speed limit road.
I'm glad you are enjoying your Z. Keep having fun. Let us know when you hit 140

You rock!

1st sentence above: I concur; 2d sentence: I agree; BUT as for the parenthetical, I DO intend the pun.

ZRA, you do indeed "rock." Most guys your age remind me of a Pinkard & Bowden song, "Blue Hairs Driving in My Lane," sung to the tune of Hank, Sr.'s "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain."

As for me, I'm 37, old for this forum, but not yet "elderly." I may be paranoid, but I'll only say that I've "tested the limits" of my ZR at an "appropriate place"; in my profession, stating a specific mph could affect continued licensure.

I'm 63 and have a 2004 roadster with an APS TT kit making 404 rwhp. I was at the drag strip (Infineon in Sonoma) last night with a number of other 350Z's from my area. I've had my Z up to 130 mph on a trip to Vegas (in Mojave Desert). My best time last night was 13.5, 105mph 1/4 mi. I've got to work on my launches.

ZRA, I sent you a PM.

ZRA

Hi David,
Your as young as you feel. BTW I enjoy your threads on this forum to!

ZRA

Thanks Zpirate, answered your PM.

ZRA

Thanks to all for your threads! Really enjoyed this. Ah to back in Montana in the early sixties when there was no daytime speed limit and 55 at night. Keep safe and enjoy!

I'm 47.5 and have done 143 MPH. Not as cool as some
of you older drivers, but maybe it counts for something.
