Default 350Z autocrossing w/passenger

We recently hosted an Evolution driving school and had the track for an extra day. Members and students were the only people there for this "fun day" and we all got a lot of seat time. I thought I would post this video because with a passenger, you can really get a feel for whats going on just by watching the passenger.

My passenger is a former Z owner that moved up to a C-6 Corvette. (He was driving that at the school) I offered him a ride-along in my STU prepped Z. (Quaife LSD, springs, sways, ssr wheels and 255/275 street rubber) I think he was surprised by the Z's potential. ( He said he "never knew his Z could do that." )

The "wow!" was a general reaction. The "HOLY MACKEREL!" was a reaction to the display board. (It was a good time)

I have another vid of a Solstice GXP driver riding shotgun from the same day. That was even worse. He didn’t seem to expect anything I was doing and flopped around a lot. He had fun, but I think he could sue me for the kind of abuse he took on that ride.

-And thanks, everyone, for the kind words.
