Longest stretch you've driven your Z?
How about a 5900 mile round trip from San Diego CA to Youngstown, Ohio and back to San Diego. I think i still have some souvernirs on the car from the trip.

My oldest bimmer (87 325is) has 250k now on stock bottom end and has done this route/speeds at least 20 times. (got that car at 40k) .If the Z cant hang then its the last nissan I ever buy. Its held up well.
SO... how many tickets have you gotten in the last 15 years?

The trick is not to be an @ss when speeding. Pass at normal speeds,correct lane, and correct distance. Dont speed in populated areas.Of course know where all the speed traps are. Aside from knowing how operate/read your radar detector properly.
Happy Motoring
I took my Z on a 1600 mile round trip the week I got it. My girlfriend goes to school in SC and I'm in NJ. I took the car down and picked her up and then went to Deals Gap for the weekend to get used to the car.

I've done 4500 miles in a few days time. I drove from San Diego to Colorado Springs CO and then up to Cheyenne WY to check out a school and then to North Carolina. I stopped in North Carolina for awhile to visit with family and change my oil and then drove up to Milwaukee WI.
I was getting about 29mpg with my Turbo. I did 5 over the speed limit the whole way. I think my best tank of gas was 445miles in one tank.

I drove 1762 miles from Virginia Beach to Aurora, Colorado. I made two major stops for rest in Paducah, KY and Topeka, KS. The Z did well on gas mileage--averaged 30mpg cruising in 6th gear on the highway. I enjoyed the drive until my foot started to become sore--I have the base model '06 Z, no cruise control.
