Normal driving, I'm still used to my Z06. I shift before 2K, except I leave it in 5th until I am doing 50mph or so. I might change my habits later as I get more used to the car. 6th is like 4th gear almost exactly in the Z06 regarding rpm.

I can't say it drive it more aggressively than I drove my old camry. That thing you had to push to the limit to have any sort of fun.

Driving the Z slowly seems like a waste of an investment though, so I'm sad whenever I have to do it, whether it's because of traffic or because I'm going on a road with frequent cops. The Z is for pleasure first, transportation second for me, and my driving reflects that.

That is EXACTLY why I sold my Z06 and got into a car with a killer NAV system, nice interior, and BOSE sound system (not that it's all that awesome, but compared to what was in my Z06, it might as well be heaven's own choir). You can't always drive these kinds of cars like you want to sanely. You need something else going for the car to make it worth owning on long road-trips or in traffic.

Also, yes, I beat the crap out of my G20. I have to to merge.

I'd be driving a stolen car all casual-like, playing nice in traffic and blending in with the crowd. Surely you meant something else.

Also, if you're babying your car, why did you buy a 370 then.

If you have to ask how I drive the 370Z Sport....you don't know me....

I am Mike....Or "skinny mini Vinnie Diesel". haha

I drive my cars pretty hard...

Still getting used to the 2009 Touring Sport 370z i just got..6000 miles on it.

Seems slower than the 350Z I had, but we will see..It is only a week old..

But spank my cars ? All the time..

It is the Wife's car..She drive it hard all the time but not flat out... I cruise around and then just beat it when I get the chance.

The 350Z was a lot of fun to Jump in and drive...Even after getting out of my car...

I like it....The 350Z was fun with traction control off, i can't wait to test my 2009 370Z sport.

My Z/28 is just stupid silly if you 4000rpm dump it....you will be sideways through three gears and near 90mph when you straighten out...:eek::eek::eek:

Ask me how I know...But God, i love this new technology...:driving:

I drive like a grandpa. And honestly it's been bothering me. I baby all cars. Once I get my exhaust I will change that though, but still be gentle :)

My last car was a Camry; and, yes, you had to push it to have fun. I like the sound of Toyota's large(r) displacement 4-cylinder engine.

I usually try to be smooth & precise with my inputs while driving and practice technique. I never drift on dry roads, but love to in the snow.
It's enjoyable to drive at high speeds like you're in a race-car, but have to be careful of cops.

If you drive low and slow, why not get a good sedan, it will be more comfortable and have better features.
