is there any potholes i should be watching out for? all i have are rims and a CF lip and im lowered.

im taking the 15 or is there a better way.


im coming from the 818 area

 

no potholes on the 15n goin to vegas.

just slow down when u see the "bump" signs on the way there

 

just take it easy on the 15 past barstow they are working on the roads so kinda uneven but drivable.

 

I would worry more about getting a speeding ticket.

 

it's a smooth ride, just look out for the bump signs like he said, they will launch you into the air over 80mph. it's a great place to speed, just be smart about it.

 

i went there this past april.. i recommend to drive out there without your cf lip. those bumps are no joke, unless you take it easy going under 80.

 

+1 some are not so bad, others are killer.

 

i dont knoow why people ***** about driving long drives....if ur a baller with a 350z u can afford anything u want and stop crying about potholes

 

Dude,

Take it like a man. If you got ***** to drive ur Z to vegas, then dont cry about it

 

i say dont do it. i went there recently (not in my car) and if the car i was in was affected by the bumps, your 350 (especially if you are lowered or on coilovers) will feel it big time, and i wouldnt say that your CF lip will be okay.

 

took my altima there and didn't feel any bumps. maybe it's the softer suspension set up.

i personally would not take my Z on a long drive. if u don't have another car for long drives, rent a car. good luck!

 

The bumps are not as harsh as they used to be.

 

Make sure to stop by the chicken ranch. Its about 70 miles from vegas.

Bring lots of cash.

make sure to SLOW down once you croos the state line. Nevada HP as like flies on **** once you pass the border. ESPECIALLY on a holiday weekend. just make sure to get valet EVERYWHERE you go, you get treated sooooo much better.

werd!

 

theres a few launches when u get closer to vegas, there are signs though. Aint no thing like bringing the baller car to vegas. Of course when u drank yourself to a stupor, use the cabby. better there car than yours

 

the only prob you'll have are bugs splatting all over ur window, bumper and slow down cuz lots of accidents on hwy going and coming back.

 

Save the money on valet and park it yourself. I don't know why you think you get treated better, it's all the same.

For the original poster, if the bumps don't cause harm to your front lip, then I guess you might as well let the valets do the damage for you.

Honestly the bumps shouldn't cause any harm, unless you're really low, or your suspension is really rigid and bouncy. Most of the bumps are not marked with a sign, but in a car like the Z, you shouldn't even have to slow down for them.

The last time I went to vegas, I was driving a FX35 without the sports suspension. Well, I was cruising around 90-100 and going over the bumps just fine. However, this one bump really unsettled the car, and gave me a good scare. It scared me enough that I slowed down for rest of the bumps on the way to vegas and on the way back home as well.

 

thats why you pay 40-60$ and it gets left up front with all the lambos and ferraris...then just take a taxi around or use the monorail.

 

They were fine. I go there once every month or so for trade shows in my lowered Z with VS body kit and have not bumped once. I usually go about 90s unless my Valentine goes off. If wide open road and I can see miles ahead, then I'll go above 120s... I felt the bumps when I was doing 120+, but it's mostly a thump.. You won't bottom out or anything so no worries.
