Cool story. As a passenger you're a bit anxious because you're not in control (hopefully the drivers is).

 

I agree with this whole post.....I'm used to all my power when I drive....I actually want more and am used to the pull...but when I take my car and my tuner takes me for a ride in my own car after he adds things or tweaks the tune..I **** my pants and feel sick to my stomach when he gets on it....lol Now I know how my passengers feel when I get on it...It's crazy how different the feel is driving compared to the pass seat..

 

Yes, but all my love ones that I trust with my Z can drive and the ones who doesn't have track experience, they baby my Z out of respect.

 

No wonder my little sister says I'm driving too fast. =P Heh, I've ridden in it many times, I think it reminds you how fast your Z really is.

 

I let my old man drive it once.....felt slow.



But then again he was shifting at 2000 rpm and barely stepping on the throttle.

 

yup.. the first time i let my buddy drove the z.. on the freeway n fast.. i was shocked at how fast the car was.. and yes.. i used the 'oh s#@t!' handle on the passenger door :P

 

Try sitting in a wrx with upgraded turbo kit, and all the goodies or a Golf with turbo running 20+ psi, youll feel like your sitting in the back seat once the boost kicks in!! Those *****es will throw you in the back seat!
Peace!

 

LMAO!

 

yeah thats so true.

 

So will a Z with a turbo kit, you won't be disappointed.

This thread brings up a good point. The only time I've got to ride in the passenger seat of the Z was right after my turbo kit installed. It felt so fast I could almost feel my bowels let loose. Problem is when I drive I'm so used to the power it doesn't feel that fast.

 

wait... what? thats awesome. If you are kidding, good joke. If you are serious, lets meet. Its hard finding ppl that do crazy things now'days.

 

I agree... Everytime I drive the Z I tell everyone that I'm so used to it, it doesn't really feel fast to me... I let my friend take it for a spin and I okayed it for him to get on it. I kind of sat back in my seat like, WTF???? No wonder people tell me to slow down when I take them for a ride; it feels a lot faster on the passenger side for some reason.

I let my girlfriend drive but she babies it. I gave her permission to floor it in 3rd from a nice speed, I think 1st and 2nd gear may be too torquey for her (she has a Prelude).

That's funny, my dad has never riden with me when I get on it, I bet he'd be pretty upset if I did

 

Yeah, love this when I'm on a sportbike too!!

 

I think the strangest feeling I've ever had is riding in my friend's Z32. Despite being a Z...it just feels really different. I've taken rides in the passenger seat of a ZR (I got to drive it as well) and I let my Mom drive my Z. A couple times I rode in a SC'd G35...and that was slightly different because of the noises the car makes.

But yeah...I'm with the rest of you guys...I'd rather be in the driver's seat.

 

how random is that?? I was browsing through these posts and found this one, then realized that my buddy wrote it and was talking about riding in my car? I didn't even know he was a member here. Sweet, now I want a ride from someone!

 

whats the fuss about? i love my z but to me it feels slow.. i jus wish it was faster

 

speed is a relative term

 

This thread is great.
