Question Has anyone ever checked to see if we have launch control?

Has anyone ever checked to see if we have launch control? I know the GTR is as simple as mashing the brake and the gas then dumping the brake does the 2005 have a feature like that or will it just burn out and brake mounts/cause damage lol?

Nobody can drive without the car doing all the hard work for them.

I still think they need to start taking all the babysitter aids off of vehicles and let the problem sort itself out.

If you have an auto it has launch control






Kidding aside don't do a brake hold on an auto.

On the Facebook 350z page you see a new Z totaled every other day. 10 years from now, my Z will be a classic. Just a waiting game right now.

I'm in FL, and if you look on CL at the 350Z listings, I swear at least 50% of them have salvage titles.

Yup, but it's not just Zs..... every type of car that can be salvaged and re-sold is on crapslist. Feh.....

All the clean Zs (all generations) are all automatics too, so I've been finding.

Tell me about it. When i was looking for mine i wanted a manual. A must for my girl. And i overpaid for it. 10k at 100k miles. Touring. Not too bad but above market.

Now im selling it, and in getting offers like 5k and such. If this keeps up. Ill probably just keep it. Put it in storage and let it be jr.'s first car.

it really depends on the year. 07-08 under 80k miles and all around good condition will still fetch $10k-14k. 04-06 can go from $3k-9k depending on miles and wear.

I know about overpaying

I paid 15.5 for my 07 with 84k but it's the best I could find. Worst part is I sold all the parts it had and redid it my way. Talk about wasting money lol
