Word of Caution

Duncanz

Unknown_370 your pretty close to the facts in your response to LunaZ. My underestimate and lack of knowledge of the 370z did have a large factor in my accident, however the number of posts has nothing to do with my ability or commitment to my enthusiasm for Motorsports. Prior to and after the accident I have had several HPDE sessions at BMW and you are correct that the differences in these cars and the Z are significant.

The comment about the "drive a ford and live forever" is just a joke from a long time ago and I thought some of the old school members might catch it. I first saw the comment "Speed kills, drive a Ford and live forever" implying that fords were slow, this was on the rear of '70 Chevelle. So the old Chevy vs Fords.

Now an update: yes the z was totaled, so I waited for the 09s to come down on price at the dealer and in March purchased a new 370z Sports Package and went with the 7at this time. And I'm still engaging the forum periodically and appreciate all the info that this forum has and is pulling together. I am also keeping VDC on and continue to learn the dynamics of the Z.

Oh yeah the tree survived!

Ok... don't take the amount of posts thing wrong. All I was saying is luna Z can't judge your knowledge based on a few terminologies. Not saying you aren't knowledgeable. If u read my post again, you will see that's not what I'm saying. What I was saying is what you already stated. You underestimated the Z and my assumption based on your comment is that you came from a whole other type of car.
I'm most definately not questioning your love for motorsports and different types of vehicles. Also I'm not saying that you don't know how to drive. I'm just sayting you applied too much power in your turn and reason is, you still did not understand the full potential of your vehicle.
I don't recall the old ford ads so I thought you meant you felt safer in a ford. Lol, judging by your post is about an accident you had, that was my interpretation.
