I was just curious to see if he could remember how much VDC did to save him. Sounds like a pretty extreme maneuver dodging an oncoming car, so I didn't really expect it to. I have gotten pretty bent outta shape and VDC has somehow reeled me back in.

I forgot he had a base so he's got no TC or VDC.

Any plans in the works for a new Z???? or are we focused more on getting past court, insurance BS, and this wreckless ticket.

lol, guess you were reading my mind, 27k for a touring seems like a good price, I am assuming this is a used car, not demo. I've always been a fan of the enthusiast trim. Its got all the good basic stuff like Traction and LSD, but not all those features you are more than likely going to upgrade down the road. And for Gods sake, can we stick with PPW, its only the greatest Z color known to man

PPW has always been my top choice, best color known to man is right, well if it was a little more glossy like mica infused it would truly be best. I still think Nissan could have done better with their paint. Have you seen Lexus' Matador Red? Truly the best color if matched with black interior

At night though the 07 DB looks really really good

Sorry to hear about your misfortune last week dude...I learned about it @ the Toys-4-Tots Meet! Looks like everything seems to be alright with your person, and thats the most important thing...good luck with fighting the RD charge, it sucks that the cop was that much of d!ck that he gave it to you, but I am pretty sure you'll win!

DB is a great color...PPW FTL though...jk, but I am not a big fan of the white! Best colors on this car are, SS, CS, 35th anni yellow, and black...but thats just my opinion ! I think that after this incident you should get a model that at least has VDC, even just traction control is not enough The new prospect sounds like a good deal.


...BTW you might want to update you sig

So the Honda was coming at you at 80 MPH. And you are traveling in the opposite direction at 50 MPH. Two vehicles approaching at 190.6 feet/second. You see the Honda 190.6 feet ahead (on a blind curve), and react in less than a second.

That’s an incredible response time.

Man, you need to factor in resistance, the force of gravity, and altitude.
