its good to open her up every once in a while...it clears up the carbon build up in the valves and exhaust..=o) like someone posted "AS LONG AS YOU MAINTAINE IT, and TUNE CORRECTLY" take her up...my baby loves it when i push her buttons..but as for daily no....weekends only...I only push her so much since she is still stock..but the more tune she gets the more i'll start takin her up...im turning her into a LEAN,MEAN FIghtINg MAChiNE!!!!

When I use my car I must always floor it in the first gears without taking it to redline. If I'm racing, redline comes naturally. So yes, I love flooring my car. I wouldn't have it any other way.

my Z begs me to drive her harder every time while we are at it. She doesn't really mine at all. Just keep her well lubricated with synthetics and don't grind any gears though. i'd apply the brakes ever so gently in order to resist the urge to come home too early...hehe

I feel great when I give it to her. I've never had such a nice/fast car..I'll be damned if I don't take advantage of her on occasion.

I usually feel a little nervous, mainly wondering if there are going to be any flashing lights in my rearview Otherwise I try to drive around for a bit at moderate speed in some hope of cooling things down before I park the car though.

Exactly. It's the flashing lights keeping me under control really.
I guess i have to get used to the car..gets loud & scary past 4k rpms

Oh one more thing, does TCS on/off make a difference when taking twisties, exit/entrance ramps, and straightaways?

TCS is mainly just for straightline stuff. VDC is like TCS, but uses accelerometers, wheel position, etc. to make sure that what you want to do in a turn is what the car is actually doing.

Listen to all you people: I stomp it, step on it, punch her..... Where I live, beating your obiesed wife (even if her weight is philosophically equivalent to 287 or 300 horses) to satisfy the inner joy is considered domestic abuse, regardless if it's caried out only "once in a while" or "during the weekends." And if that wasn't enough, you're beating your baby too? Oh the humanity .

i used to own a 240sx. I used to beat the ballz off of it. Now with my z, i am a little upset that i continue with my poor driving ethics, but i just love the way she feels when i hit it.

i love how in 5ht, she pulls so much harder then my 240 did. Obvius it has 100+ more h/p and t/q, but i still love it..

I feel bad only when I do it when she is cold. But when the engine is cold the exhaust roars extremely loud and I can't help but push it up to 5k. Otherwise, I punch my girl hard. The roar she makes gets my d!ck hard when she finally warms up.

This car was created to be driven hard. It's a sad waste when it's not allowed to run to its full potential.

After pushing it hard and then finally pulling it into the garage, I can hear the engine and the other parts ticking as they're cooling, but before I can feel bad/guilty, I feel as if the Z was waiting all week to run like that.
