well admittedly i didnt really think too much about it before hand, i was in show off mode. Plus I have a good bit of VERY sticky tires 305/30R19 at 180 TW. so yeah...... i could have had drag radials and had the same results.

and mind you the Z is the deal of a century if you view it as an overall package for what you get, what it can do, for what you pay..... BUT there are some major design oversights and cut corners with extremely questionable quality parts"CSC/MC cough, clutch cough, LSD cough, throttle system cough, bank sensors cough" , which varies wildly from top of the line to absolute garbage ordered off amazon china. that's why my view on the car is what it is. Ive owned a nismo since 09 so ive had plenty of time and experience with it and have learned plenty of lessons. Its an amazing feat of engineering held back somewhat by poor decisions in management im sure based on finances to use very poor quality parts.

100% honestly ? I expect a 40k+ car thats specifically track worthy and designed to be a rugged sports car to perform under stressful situations. Some of the parts used on this car just do not allow for it to reach that level. yeah you should use common sense, which i didnt. BUT if the car cant even handle spinning the clutch for 3 seconds without destroying itself on a TRACK BREED SPORTS CAR then maybe they should consider using a clutch that wasnt from their 5 speed sentra. Its like they designed a car that is for a track that was never intended to be used on one. This point is further pushed by the GTR and its stupid black box and infamous warranty voiding BS with launch control and traction control. They are afraid someone might use the car for what it was SUPPOSED to be designed for, but they all knew it would just break. Why market a product that cannot live up to its own expectations? just my view on it. I wouldnt own the car if i didnt like it for 5 long years. If I had the option to do over I would probably still get a 370 nismo, or the new C7. but for C7 money I would just do the smart thing and buy a porche.

I admit what i did was a little harsh, but nothing over the top. And 99% of its life ive driven it around like im walking on eggshells all the time and it gets stored in a garage, washed and waxed every weekend, looks like I just bought it yesterday. Maybe I was just asking too much of it. Abuse would be like what the guy in the above vid did with that mustang, THATS excessive. As for the vette..... thats just an idiot, with lots of idiot friends who just watched it happen.
