You shouldn't have hit the brakes, you probably wouldn't have spun like that if you didn't

I don't know what you guys are talking about with the 350Z being bad in the rain. I've had no problem at all. I even drive mine in the snow.

Fortunantly you and your GF were OK.

 

wow thank god you and your gf made it out alright :[

nice z and yeah damage could be worse looks liek you did some offroading...
and those volks look in still good condition.....

 

The 350z is a piece in the rain, especially with the stock potenzas.

 

Damn James sorry to hear about this. Hope everything goes ok and works out. glad to hear your alright

 

yes...

and to the op... driving school teaches u not to hit the brakes on slippry rds... even on dry roads with bumps.... u just let go off the gas. like some1 else said... that's god's warning. simple mistakes like urs is what cost many other to lose their life.

learn to properly drive a rwd car in the rain... else dont even attempt to. i hate seeing people dead in the news.

 

Driving in the rain and speeding, doing quick lane changes in the rain are two different things.
I drive my Z in the rain and snow as well. You just have to be smart about it.

Glad the OP and his gf are ok.

 

thanks captain obvious.

 

thanks for everyone for the support. my gf and i are good. My car is still driveable and i went to some body shops, getting quotes from 2000-3000.

My exhaust is also gone, i didn't notice until this morning but it has a huge indent in it.

I went back to the site to check it out in the daylight. i found my missing clear reflector in some mud.

I was lucky because this 50 yard patch of grass is the only one for miles.... had this happened a few seconds sooner or later i'd be toast.

heres some pics of the area:

 

^wow, good thing you and yours are ok...

Drive safe!

R350z

 

Glad you guys are okay. For the record was your traction control on or off?

 

On. Already said that above

 

Did you go back for the clam chowder?

 

count your blessings!

 

glad to hear u are ok james...hope everythign works out well

 

same wet weather
same speed,
both RWD,
my lincoln is much better than my Z

 

hey bro at least ur ok
get some PS2's

 

sorry to hear that bro glad you are both ok
looks like you slid on the grass pretty darn far,
and thank god that part of the highway has no wall.

 

Glad you're ok. You know what kinda relates though, is that we wear the same shoes, all black Adidas shelltoe. And we both need new tires. When ever I wear those shoes I always lose traction on ice and water and almost fall. We booth need new tires and new shoes.

 

for the person who asked. i believe the speed limit there is 65

 

Nothing better than the Goodyear F1's in rain. We have rain over here 25% of the year and in medium rain I can still do 90 mph with 275/35/19 on the back. With stock potenza's I would be doing 55 mph max.
