Default Recently RODE in a 350Z!!!!!

Holy CRAP!!!!!! I've had my Z for well over a year now, and just recently took my first ride in one. All I can say is wow. This car seems soooo much faster when you're a passenger, presumably because I didn't know when the shifts/inputs were coming. And to boot, it was in a roadster (thanks James!)

So now I know what it's like for the passengers/on-lookers! I can't think that I'm the only owner that hasn't been a passenger, so please please please, take a ride in one!!!!!!!!

I generally don't let anyone drive my 350Z, but my sister's boyfriend helped me install some stuff on the car so I let him drive the Z to a dinner party. I had the same feelings as you, I didn't have the steering wheels to hold onto, I didn't know when he was going to shift or when he wsa going to stomp on it.

And then I had the chance to be a passenger in my friends ST 350Z and like he told me, it's like being in another deminsion.

Haha, yeah my g/f does that same thing. Crazy. I never rode in one (except my buddies TT G35) and yes it was crazy fast, always been the driver other than that. I might have to try this out, too bad no one will ever drive my car.

Just get going on the highway and set the cruise. Then you can hop over into the passenger seat and chill. I have done it, it will get you some weird looks from other motorists...

also nice to see your Z from another car. usually you never have the chance to
see your own Z b/c you are driver or passenger. but when you see someone else driving you are just like... dayyyammm... that's a nice car!

Man you guys are so right, my friend gave me a ride home from dropping my car at the shop and man i was surprised how fast his car felt espescially when he stomped on it to get through traffic, then going off the highway ramp felt like the car was going alot faster than i had ever pushed mine. This was an automatic Z too.

I had not thought about it till now but that was the first time i had been in the Z as a passenger.
