towing capacity

vividracing

Not sure why everyone's hating on the idea of towing with a Z. I've seen several Zs (350 and 370) towing small trailers. I love seeing cars roll up to the track with a trailer carrying all their tools and tires. A guy here in AZ tows with his MIATA!! He tows several sets of wheels + tires and tools with him to drift events.

Nobody is hating on this idea. We are simply saying there are better alternatives. Just because you CAN do something, doesnt mean you SHOULD.

The Z is not meant to tow, its a sports car, it may have the capabilites to do so, but as a Z owner myself and I think I can speak for many of the people who disagree with this idea, I would not put my Z at risk by using it to tow anything.

In fact, I think all the people who disagree with the idea are saving the OP from something catastrophic happening to his Z, so we are not hating we are helping, maybe not in the nicest words, but we are letting him know that this may not be the best idea, and there are other options such as renting a UHUAL, truck, etc.

But as I can see from the OPs last post I can conclude that he doesnt care as much for his Z, as many of us other Z owners do here, so maybe thats where we don't see eye to eye. Ultimately, the decsion is left up to him, as fellow forum members we can only warn him and state our concerns and advice, what he does after is left up to him.

I disagree. Towing a trailer in a z to go on a camping trip=

Towing a trailer in a z to the track with wheels/tires/tools=

Having a friend or one of my sons drive my F-150 -- FTW.

Trailer hitch on a Z?

/\ well, if you bring you're own pit crew, that's just baller status right there.

"Baller status" is a good thing, right? I am old and not completely up to speed on modern vernacular.

yup.

I'm not exactly a spring chicken myself but I like to stay somewhat current on what the kid's these days think is cool.

Wait..................... I may be older than you!

Ugh, I'm not sure if "baller status" is a good thing or not either.

Maybe it's time for bingo in the rec room; they are serving tapioca pudding and showing a movie. Gotta go.
