I drive the **** out of my Z everyday. Did the same to my previous car, feel sorry for whomever ended up with it (traded it in)
Owned a Black S2000 this morning on the drive to work

I do a mixture of driving in my Z. Sometimes I won't rev past 3G, and other times I'm drifting and taking it to redline. This car is soooo much fun!

Well... drive it harder than any car i've owned, but seems to like it. Gotta let it breath! It sees 4K everyday. It sees tripple digits at least once a month. Tires get chirped a couple of times a week, but I hardly ever slide them to far. Guess thats why I have 12K on them and no feathering whatsoever. heck they almost look new. I let the back end push out now and then. Love the way that car pulls through all its gears.

Although I will admit, their forum off-topic-alcohol-threads are WAAAY better than ours.

i dont really drive her hard - just sometimes i launch her at a red light when i want to change lanes in front of someone
I dunno..I guess I dont drive her hard cuz I just dont want her sounding like a truck when she is sitting idle.
I like to drive fast on da highway though

LoL just kidding.
What I mean is...after I do drive her hard, and I stand beside her while she's running, she sounds like she's gurgling. I dunno..sounds weird coming from under the hood. After sitting for a while without the engine running, gurgling goes away. I dont want her to gurgle constantly in the long run - "sounding like a truck"
anyway...nevermind.

I know what you're talkin about Nissan350Z, I hear that same sound even when I'm not driving her hard. Most of the time i shift under 3k or between 3k or 4K rpms but sometimes when I'm goin from a stop sign to the next turn i leave it in 2nd and drive it around 5k...is that a bad thing to do lol? but oh does it sound soooo sweeet and it gets everybody's attention lol. And I dont use 6th gear unless I'm on the highway.
