Driving habits?
I usually drive pretty conservative, but every now and then if I think it's safe enough, I'll open the taps. Today though, it had just drizzled a bit and I was heading around a junction and the back end stepped out and scared the hell out of me. It's the first time it's ever happened in the Z that I didnt initiate.
im hardly ever aggressive with the z. I shift lower then 2.5 k rpm mostly. do about 5 over on city and 10 on highway. Just like to cruise and enjoy the ride. Then when i jump all over it it makes me appreciate the power more

I'm pretty conservative most of the time. Usually just cruising around 5-10 over the speed limit.
However, when necessary, I move with a purpose. It's not speeding...

I work (and take joyrides at lunch) in a small town, so if I go drifting around every curve I bet some local parent would probably come find my car and f with it when I park it.
I am also addicted to on/off ramps! Love that minimal body roll!
The Z is by far the nicest car I've ever had, which has had more of an effect on my PARKING habits...
-try not to park right next to other 2 door coupes (they have long, wide-swinging heavy doors = door dings on Z)
-never at the end of a parking lot or using more than one spot (just draws negative attention)
-i always park it nose first (aesthetically the rear doesnt stand out as much as the front IMO)
Maybe after I have owned it a little longer I will stop being neurotic and stomp the foot down more often...

Seeing as how I just got my license back Saturday (suspended for 6 months from speeding) I stay around the speed limit. I get a little bored, but if I get another speeding ticket within the next 6 months, my license is suspended for six more months. I just don't think it's worth it to go through that BS again.
Drives me crazy when I am on the Interstate on my way to school and I am in the middle lane going a little over the speed limit and the retard behind me thinks that since I am driving a quick car I should be flying. So he feels compelled to race by me.

But I don't drive like a jackass on 495/95 anyways. 75-85 in the two left lanes and no agressive lane changing is my norm.

In the NISMO, ehh, I dread parking nose in. It's not a good deal. I'll park in rear first just about every time.
Well, Living in Virginia (see traffic laws) the state does not give me a choice. I shift 1st at: 3k rpms, 2:3-3.5.. and rest of the gears at about the same rpsm. However, In the turns.. ... the full moon approaches and the beast within me slams the pedal. What can i say... I love the twisties.
When I get behind the wheel of my -Z- I am ashamed to admit that I turn into the driver from hell.
I bot the Excort Passport with radar detection and front and rear laser jamming modules so I pretty much know if there are cops around.

It all depends. I have my laid back moments when on the highway. But there is something about those dam exit ramps that make me want to floor it. I just love how this car digs into the turn and spits out of the exit on Second gear passing everyone while there still trying to switch lanes.
My driving is like Dr Jekell and Mr Hyde. Cruising along with other cars... until i get cut off, then I spin my tires to just pull along side them and giving them a dirty look. Hell, I only drive my Z 2-3 times a week and I'm deprived.
LOL... Driver from hell that sounds just like me JCat..... I try to drive like I've got some sense but it's like the cars begging me to go all out whenever traffic allows....... But I've only had my 06' Enthusiast for about 2months now so I'm still getting used to it maybe I'll chill once I get used to... first time rwd/1st 6spd Manual....
