Default Forgot how much I missed boost....

So due to the warm weather in Upstate NY this weekend - I was able to knock the dust off of the stored Z - change the oil and drive it around fo the last few days!

All i can say is I never throught I'd miss boost this much.

Nothing like the fun of getting used to boost again - considering my corporate car is a v4 ford fusion.

That is all - thanks for your time.

Boost rocks...that's why my daily is boosted too :P

BTW - there's no such thing as a V4 in a production car these days, just inline 4s (I4) and flat 4s (F4)

I'm feeling you brother.... I haven't boosted since the day before Thanksgiving. Its been so long that my wife's Volvo XC90 is starting to feel fast to me when I drive it.

I've been driving a 1.5 litre, 93bhp mazda protege most of the winter. I took out a stock auto 1.8T VW yesterday and it felt crazy fast.

I have no idea what my Z will feel like

Having a boosted car and hopefully some car knowledge, Id hope that you know that your Fusion is an inline 4 (I-4) not a V-4

In all seriousness, reading this made me miss my $hitbox. It has 10" of dust on it and the tags are suspended lol...havent driven it since September I think.

You need to pull that car out and go for a spin. I would love to see what you can run with your new set up.


To the OP - Although my Z is not boosted I definitly missed driving it. I had it out for part of the day and my bike for the rest of the day. Just a couple more weeks and then I can drive them consistantly.
