Slower than an off-road truck because...
 
A dude in a lifted fat tire truck w/ "salt-life" skull decal went first on a straight line course with many rough spots.

The pavement changes on the course kept my speed down because it made my car very lose over them.
He could keep accelerating although bouncing some too.
Even braking was scary as the car felt super loose over rough areas.

Im in a new 2015 Sport w/ 32-33 PSI on stock summer tires.
So, unless a sway bar or something will help, he owns me on that course.

The road had some dips & repaved patches. As I quickly caught up to him, I had to back off at about 80 because my car was bouncing off the road! He could keep accelerating although bouncing some too.
Even the brakes were scary as the car felt super loose over rough areas.

so you're complaining why your sports car can't play well in a rally environment? why not just get the STI or lancer?

put him against you on the track and I can bet your song will change

Fixed your story.

You'll get banned for doing that on the street. If, say for example, it were a "Closed course with professional driver..." then ur good.

Perhaps you should care less about rednecks in manhood contests, and worry more about the peoples lives you put in danger by speeding down a backroad!
Perhaps children live and play on that backroad! Maybe someones family dog roams around that backroad! Maybe other drivers arent driving like idiots coming the other way down the backroad! If you want to race, go to a track.

DARWIN PLEASE HELP!

1. Not something I would share on a public forum, John ;)
2. Google Sprint Booster.
3. Drive safely or hit the track! :tup:

Really?!?!
1) Read forum rules.
2) ALL RACING IS DONE ON THE TRACK. PERIOD
3) I'd presume by your age you would know better, but obviously not.


All goes back to what I've said before.... Today's 'drivers' don't drive, they aim..:gtfo2:

FPenvy 03-30-2016 12:56 PM

my suggestion would fall in line with the others.

why would you even attempt to go fast (race) on a back country ALABAMA road lol :facepalm:

Don't be afraid to push your car next time, I doubt you got anywhere near the limits of the Z if that truck didn't roll on a corner.

Someone already mentioned the rules in a previous post on this thread, so your redundant post is worthless. Take it easy, the guy clearly didn't know of this rule when he originally posted. The same thing happened to me once. Add something productive to the discussion or :gtfo2:

Here's what you need to do, please follow steps closely:

1. Sell your Z. This is imperative and the rest of the steps will negate themselves if not strictly adhered to.
2. Buy a lifted truck. Any brodozer will do!
3. Buy a pair of white oakley gascans (very important to winning that they're white)
4. Buy a metal mulisha t shirt
5. Buy a tin of chewing tobacco
6. Buy a Fox racing hat
7. If you have any attractive cousins, or even not that attractive doesn't really matter, ask them to marry you.

There you go my friend, a winning formula! You can't possibly lose next time.

Perhaps you should read the rules. No multiple posting. You use the multi quote function. "Don't be afraid to push your car next time" Probably will see you on the news in a high speed freeway crash for street racing dude.

Don't act so hard for someone who isn't on this forum enough to know the rules themselves. 36 posts. :rofl2: :gtfo2::gtfo2::gtfo2: :happydance: :tiphat: :driving:

I don't equate defending another forum member (as I'm doing) with hardness.* Nor do I equate time spent on this forum with hardness, in fact, just the opposite (which probably gives you an indication of my opinion of you).* Again, there's no reason to grill the poster about his seemingly honest mistake.*

Thanks for the instruction on multi posting, but I prefer to address each post on its own. :gtfo2:

felix0121 03-30-2016 09:31 PM

You'd better own a Dodge Challenger/Charger Hellcat rather than just a 370Z, which is also equipped with a high performance RD, Laser countermeasure, and very good luck to avoid all possible accidents.

Drive safe. :D

Aesthetic are you related to JungleZ, kay.zee or any other nom-de-forum he chose to use? You say you are 'defending another forum member', but when said forum member posts something that is in direct violation of the forum rules; how can you, in good conscience, defend him?


I have a suggestion for you, since you like to hand this term out: :gtfo2:

AestheticCM1 03-30-2016 10:48 PM

I took his side because I've been in his shoes before, when I was fairly new to the forum. It seems like he made an honest mistake, albeit in direct violation of the rules. I think the response osbornsm gave was the proper way to handle it. I don't think grilling the op is necessary.

mishuko 03-31-2016 05:25 AM

holy crap you crazy dinks... we seriously need to slow down and stop busting our wads so fast.

You also are a moron, and part of the problem. This has nothing to do with "forum rules" and a lot more to do with the safety of everyone in the public. I know thinking about the welfare of innocent people is difficult for you. If you fail to see that, one day you will be in an ambulance wishing it was a wahmbulance because of your reckless driving. You are either young, mentally challenged, or just a spoiled brat, but either way, clueless.

great advice.

hit over 100 maybe one of those massive bumps or dip with crack a wheel or bounce him off the road into a tree.


love your logic. i'll have to put that to use next time i'm racing on a country backroad :tiphat:

At no point did I defend OP's actions, only the way he was being scolded on the forum for what seems to be an honest mistake. I shouldn't need to educate you further on this distinction.

How about you take your own advice and add something productive to the discussion or :gtfo2:

And suggesting that the dimwit in a Z racing a lifted truck down poorly maintained backroads in Alabama should push it harder is not productive :shakes head:

The OP obviously needs additional reinforcement. I think he deserves everything he's getting here. However, you are entitled to your own opinion, even if it is stupid and wrong :tiphat:
