Have any of you lucky 350z owners managed to scrape the bottom on a speed bump, dip, or ramp? Does around-town driving require extreme care, or is not much of an issue for the Z?
Thanks for your input.

I don't think the clearance is super-low, but I DID hear one wag commenting that they had to shave all the speedbumps at the port here in Jax - probably BS but by the same token I wouldn't recommend happy-assing around and blasting over speedbumps, up ramps into parking lots, etc... I got up close and personal with a pre-production Z and it's pretty dang low.
So, be careful!
I've been driving a Frontier crew cab for the last year and a half so I am gonna have to totally adopt a new driving philosophy when it comes to those annoying speed bumps/curbs/parking end-cap things. (No more shortcuts).
So, with a little common sense and caution on the driver's part, I don't think clearance will be a big deal, at least not anymore so than you'd find in any other comparable car.
Cheers.

 

I've gone over speed bumps in mine -- no problem. (Not at high speeds, of course!) No scrapes yet.

 

Is it the clearance higher or lower than a Porsche Boxster?

I heard that the Boxster scrapes the bottom going in and out of my garage. I may have to sell my condo and relocate...anything for my Z.
