Some guys in the $12,000-18,000 price range that chose to buy a Z with 150,000 miles than an FRS with 30,000 miles... They shoulda chose the FRS.

Not everybody is crazy enough to spend close to 50k for a 10 year old design ^.^ I saw a couple Z's with 50k miles under 18k now so I don't think anybody in their right mind would get a FRS instead

I know a lot of the OGs on here are getting upset with the forum being invaded by "Stance Nation" - but I think you will find that while the Changing of the Guard is inevitable, it is also not all bad. I think you are going to see a much bigger portion of the community keeping more of a DIY perspective and we should start seeing some new ideas out there as well.

Every chance I get. (Legally of Course) check out the Big Bend Open Road Race in west Texas. Legal for the day.

Jesus.

Guys, we all speed. We didn't buy fast cars to go slow. We just don't post about it.

It's kinda like fight club.

There's a fine line between speeding and being a tool, though.

One little error at that speed, and you're dead. There was even a recent example of a guy dying behind the wheel of his Z, after losing control while street racing in Australia. Sadly, he's not the only one.

If someone wants to go that fast, they need to find a legal and safe venue to do so. I'm sure no family has a desire to be destroyed because some ******* felt he needed to see how fast his car is.

Circumstances matter too - there's a difference between ripping through a few gears on an empty freeway or keeping your foot in it all the way up the on-ramp, and weaving through traffic, racing, etc.

Street racing is wildly different than going 125 on an open smooth highway. I went 125 in my 4 banger 115 hp accord.

Exactly why this thread is stupid, who cares how fast you can go on a smooth open highway, a minivan can do 110+. How fast can you do a lap on some track that's something.

I'm guessing Krazzz since he started a thread about it.

I don't speed. I only drive spiritedly...

Plus it's not speeding if the speed limit is 45 and you take your corners at 45 with control

TBH speed is a god damn drug. I use to be fine with 90... then 110... then 130... 150... etc it keeps getting worse and worse. But I live in Orange county/LA area. It's extremely hard to go fast here, nor do I dare as there are way to many people on the road. But I agree with chuck... we didnt buy these cars to go slow... we just tend not to talk about the times we go fast.

I've seen you b**tards with the "the370z.com" stick take off on the highway. You just don't come to the forum and tell us about it lol
