Longest stretch you've driven your Z?
Well I've driven from Atlanta, GA to Columbia, SC. It's about 230 miles one way.
About Two months ago I drove to Columbia back to Atl then back to Columbia then back home in a four day span. So that's 920miles just with hwy miles then probably like another 200 driving around Columbia and Atl. It wasn't to bad. I the only thing that sucked was I-20. LOL

We drove from SD up the 1 through Big Sur, Santa Cruz, SF, across the GG Bridge to Santa Rosa in one day. It was maybee 800 miles. No buttsore issues. We followed a Carrerra GT along the coast around Morro Bay, what a car!!! If you've ever heard one of those used in anger, you know what I'm sayin.
A week later we drove form Yosemite to SD down the 395. Fast.

I drove from Vancouver to Calgary (over 1000KM+) when I first got the car (Picked it up in Vancouver, so it was the first time driving the car). Drove for about 11 hours straight... Didnt seem that long haha
Seattle to O.C. CA and vice versa.
A little over 1100 miles.
18hrs nonstop except for nature brakes.
averaged about 30mpg on cruise in 6th gear going 75-80mph at about 2800 RPM.
My advice take some red bulls.

i try not to drive more than one hour at a time if at all possible. anytime that I go over 1 hour I tend to rack up on speeding tickets.
on the way back to fayetteville from ZDAYZ me and a couple of other z friends from this forum averaged about 85-90 mph through the mountains for about two hour. occasionally hitting speeds of about 110

I'm putting a bra on for my 1800 mile roundtrip to TX... Man, I just got the Z a few days ago and it's only got 200 miles on it... I got a black Z so I thinkt he bra will blend in pretty well. I wonder if Nissan has a Victoria Secret see-thru bra for our Z

Hum.... I kinda like the contrast of the amber lens.... I might go back that way... then again maybe not.

I actually now think I should have picked out a black car that day with orange interior ... I love that combo now..... I just thought of the dust on the black car I had before... Hey, I can always repaint right?
I took it to mexico city over summer and around mexico acapulco and other cities put about 6000+ miles on it but it was worth it. I got pulled over twice and the cops were more interested in the car than giving me a ticket, didnt get one. mexico has great highways topped out at 161 on a slightly downhill highway
Damn you guys take some long distance trips - longest i've been on is like < 200 miles. KC -> St. Louis. Though you guys are posting up low gas mileage, i think i was getting at least 29+, luckily i never had to change lanes much because everyone was driving fast and for about an hour and a half i was driving behind a semi going about 80mph - so i guess i got lucky.
im a daily driver but every other month i have to make a 650 mile trip.. i made this trip with no issues with two other cars a while ago( altima, eww.. and a land cruiser) but every time i make the trip with my z my back is hurtin like hell at the end of it.. i wouldnt ever take another car, the trip is so much fun with the z, but any tips on how to make it easyer for your back??
