Total time gone 18.5 hrs.
Time spent at destination + 7 different stops (4.0 hrs.)
Seat time 14.5 hrs....definitely helped to have seat lowered & not have that 3rd pedal on the left. Z handled & ride quality was very good, over the almost 1,000 mi. Trip.
Realized that maybe our roads in SC aren’t that chitty after all.
Had to meet up with a friend & perform a trade/swap.
I got my “Black-Friday” gift early.
25.1mpg average while rotating 27” 285,345’s...much more drag than the base 18’s w/245,275’s
Slept around 6.5-7hrs. & not feeling any soreness from the trip,,,
1 more thing....These leather touring seat warmers sure feel good in the cold.

Glad all went well and you made it back safe. I have done some long days in my Z and it ain’t to bad. I do stop and take a stretch once in awhile though...

You were born in the long summer, you've never known anything else. But now winter is truly coming.

And in the winter, we must protect ourselves, look after one another.

My Z has been parked in my garage since July.

Can't drive a manual with a bummed arm. So I've been throwing parts at it. Now I'm in the group buy for the vented hood inserts.

Vented Hood Inserts Intrest

My car has heated seats! And it's in storage in a heated facility! Jokes on me!

socce · 11-09-2017, 06:08 PM

I was interested in the Vented hood insert myself, until I caught a local deal on a VIS Carbon Fiber Hood. It was all oxidized and fogged up from being out in the sun so I had my buddy clean it up and give it a new clear. It goes exceptionally well with the 40th edition paint and wheels, as I expected. The look is way more aggressive now! Yea, I know, the headlights need some love next.

Also put in the AAM CAI. The car definitely sounds better, and louder. There is a real nice resonance now. Had the car tuned shortly after and really loving it all! Ill post tune results and more in my own thread soon.
