370z's Bring Out the Crazies

Agreed, that's why it's insanely fun to just watch these people disappear through a set of corners, and you don't even really have to put in a lot of effort either. I just wish for ONCE someone could interview them after they've wimped out through a series of turns and have them explain why they can do 15mph over the limit on the straight sections while weaving all over the place, but they cannot just go at a moderatly decent pace through a not very technical section of 30-50mph turns?!

I don't understand the gravitation towards even wanting all the in car distractions. I don't even understand why it's a selling point. It's not supposed to be a home theater video game leather sofa on wheels. Just like in the savage geese videos, is the manufacturer actually going to support fixing this **** when it goes bad in a few years?

I actually look forward to driving as means of avoiding distractions.

This is why we need to ban marketing as a major in all public / private education. Get back to letting engineers and designers and DRIVERS make cars fun again.

I had a whole paragraph on how much I hate marketing people, but I'm going to be nice

We have a special variant of this kind of driver here in Colorado; they'll sit literally 6 inches from your bumper going down-mountain, but figure 10-under the limit is as fast as God intended going up-mountain.

It's not a power thing - cheap Hondas have 300HP now - it's some sort of perception issue with the up and down of the road.

As for the corners, your Z actually masks just how well it can go around a bend compared to a common econo-box... So what we figure to be not exceptionally challenging at 40mph will see a sport bike laid over to the foot-peg to do it at the same speed - and be completely out of the ballpark for the above-mentioned Honda.

My favorite was a Challenger SRT messing around at highway speed and then we took this interchange. I know where to apex it and he didn't. Left him in the dust but it must of scared the **** out of him since he dropped down to the speed limit after. Last bit is off camber so you need to let it drift out. Apex is right where that truck is at. A lot later than you would expect if you haven't done it before.

Another one of my favorites... No one has kept up with me on this one yet. The turn's exit speed is about the flow of traffic on the highway... perfect.
