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 tried to race an S2000 the other day, but the guy wouldn't have any part of it. BTW, we were on a long, flat, straight stretch of 4 lane hwy. I almost raced a Lexus sc400? (the 2 door coupes) when we both turned right onto the same hwy, but I had to take an incoming phone call

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.

 

I have a 350 Z and a lexus SC400 you would have eaten the SC400 alive. Racing from 120mph up that long legged V8 might stay up with you.

 

I hAve my rev limiter set at 4000, so you get the idea.

 

Yeah, S2000 owners are funny that way.... the one I raced was the first I managed to provoke. All the other S2K guys just seemed uninterested (or is it disinterested...or anti-interested). Some S2K guys think (based on my visits to an S2000 forum) their car is "limited production" and have an attitude as if they have a friggin Ferrari or something

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

 

Good stuff! The guy lives in my subdivision, so next time I see him we'll make it happen

 

you are going to make him feel really bad! I have a cold air intake etc on my SC400 and it is a great highway car and I have killed a few audi's, but you will blow his doors off!!

 

Zzzzzzzweeeeeet!

 

I go through half a tank of gas a day to every other day... nuff said

 

That is the NICEST ls Z I've seen yet. Good job man

 

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

 

Huh?

 

I said:

I...just...dont...want...her....sounding....like...a....truc k....when...she's....sitting...idle.




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.
