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 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.

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.

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.
