Last part, before getting into traffic in Cincinnati,
Averaged 28.2 MPG and an average speed of 70.5 MPH from Corbin KY to Cincinnati, OH
For Corbin KY to Dayton, OH average 28.2 MPG / 64.5 MPH, not a bad trip
and saw no other Z's of any type
Those are good MPG numbers. I don't get anything close to that, even on highway. Will do some day trips next week and see how I do on those.

thats because your 'highway' is 101/110/405 aka mile long parking lots.

Also I saw you speaking of concave. The Forgestars come in a regular and a DEEP concave. Starting at 9.5 inches wide they go deep. I did 9 wide on the front which is reg then 11 wide rear which is deep.

RC 370z is on a distinguished road
Unhappy

drove the z to work like always...i hate leaving it out in the open parking lot every day

p.s. does anybody else get excited when they see another z driving by them? maybe it just me and because there isn't that many z's in my area.(maybe 2 or 3 including mine)

Drove the Z here in Stuttgart yesterday in the snow(more than 2 inches) no problemo what so ever. Slush, powder/wet snow all good. Using good common sense for the conditions and letting the car work for you is the way to go, as others have posted. BLIZZAKS RULE!

Guys please welcome me back in the flock. I had strayed but I'm back in Z land. I had made a deal with the local dealer to order a Camaro vert v8 6m with a dealer installed SC making 680hp. The deal fell through this morning at a meeting with the finance people, they said the banks would not go for the financing. N/P though as you know I have an awesome modded Z. Sorry for straying Kenman I will say nothing but good things about you for atleast a day LOL Welcome Jmazz good to see ya posting.
