Anyways, some advice to you...
1. Don't let your friends drive no matter what. Don't mess up your car and your friendship.
2. Stable throttle control especially in the rain.
3. Stay away from inner left lanes when raining to avoid hydroplaning
4. Don't accelerate through turns. Remember, we're RWD!
5. Always try to find the biggest parking lot available. I hate it when careless people place dings and scratches on my door.
Wise words indeed.


- and I would add... Never accelerate hard when leaving a roundabout*, especially a small one, unless you like seeing your ar$e in a wall.


*is that what they're called in America, or is it 'turning circle'?

Yes, you're absolutely right - VDC off is the way to go - but we are trying to be old and sensible ...and remember all those posters and their pics of overturned cars and their pleas of, "I have no idea how it happened - there must have been oil/diesel/ice/a dog/slipperiness of some kind/a herd of slugs/zombie slime ..on the road".

The ideal combination, imo, is VDC off + careful. But do you need to build up to it, maybe?

You'll be in for a disappointment if you decide to have a run in with any cam-swapped LSX-based car, then heh...

$1000 to have a 400+ WHP F-body/almost 500 WHP C6 Corvette is no joke. And the mere fact you can get a low-miles Z51 Corvette used for the same price as a new 370Z is somewhat sobering since it outperforms it in just about every manner in stock form...

But, hey, I'm that guy selling his stupid fast, loud, obnoxious F-body and getting a 370Z so I can track the ever-living **** out of it...why not get a C6 you ask? Meh, want to try something different. Nothing more, really.

Just saying :)

like people have said before, its not the age, its the maturity. my first car was a sports car, and I havent changed the theme since, and i have yet to be in an accident (thank God). Have fun, but be careful in the rain/snow. I can say keep it to the track, but there will be those times when some gay srt-4/evo/sti will wanna race...u shouldnt do it, but you will and its fun, just be careful. anyway, Congrats! and welcome to the community!:driving:
Hey, my SRT-4 is not gay! It's the driver that's the problem, not the car. :shakes head: :stfu:

^^my bad ninja... ur right. its not the car, its the driver

^ I already feel bad enough about being 27 and in an SRT-4. Don't make it worse! hahahahaha :tup: Nah, it's a great car. I had fun with it and now I am ready to move into something more refined.

The 370 is allot of car and tempting to just drive it balls out but please be safe, you know its fast thats what counts and not treating every light like a drag race. If any thing use it to reel in the chicks lol!
Im glad I read your post. I will keep this is mind when I get my Z.
