I pretty much drive like I am on a race course for everyday driving for the most part. But 90% of driving around Boston your stuck in traffic anyway unless its between 11PM-6AM so I drive it hard when ever possible. If anything happens, I have a 80,000 miles 6 year warrantee.

I hit 150 today before letting off on the way back from the rained out import wars with my buddy in his 04 GTP Comp quite a bit behind and hitting 138 I needed to get a little bit of speed in since I didn't get the racing bug out at the track.

I'm at 13K miles now.

For the first 5-6K, I rarely did as I was getting used to driving the Z. I tended to drive it like other cars without an electronically conrolled throttle. I rarely pushed down harder then 50% on the throttle.

But after 6K, I learned how the Z likes to be driven and I find that I floor it all the way most times I am first in line at a light. The Z really does like to be driven hard.

Only time I don't floor it a lot is when it rains.... it should be the most fun for a RWD car.... but instead, I get the dreaded wheelhop in straight line... otherwise, like I stated, always flooring it.

Default I don't

think I ever floored it. Not many streets here that I drive on that you can do this on. Highway is crowded to and from work.
