I'm baby mine right now b/c I only have 225 miles on it. On the highway I have the cruise control set to 60mph. I am waiting for my exhaust to come in which will be the middle of next month. Once the exhaust is on.....ENOUGH SAID. The car will be treated like a lady during the day & possibly like a whore at night. It is all about if I'm wanting to pimp my ride out for the day or for the night.

I will have to re read the rules before speaking..
There is something in the rule about talking about breaking wind, or breaking traction, that I am not supposed to talk about...:eek: Also if you are not racing anyone but yourself, is that called nissantrubation ?:roflpuke2: Also the on ramps and off ramps seem to be a good spot to "get up to speed" on...:eek::tup: In the Z/28 ? Fugitaboutit....Let's just say it is fun...Sometimes I am looking out the passenger window while going forward....:driving::yum: |

I make sure to clean my passenger window so i can see out of it when I am "driving"..

Usually drive mine like a sports car should be. Got the car last year and have already gotten 2 tickets :shakes head:. I guess the cops don't like when you drive with tinted windows, no front plate, and swing your back end out around turns. Worst part about getting a brand new sports car is having to baby it until you break in the engine.
I do drive it like a baby when I transport the lady friend around in it... |

My wife drives the Z very respectfully. I drive the Z like it wants to be driven :tup: I think Project Weekend Mistress about sums it up. |
while i baby the Z's paint and overall cosmetics, i dont baby her at all when motoring... i dont drive abusively or anything, no power shifts, etc. just spirited fun with flashing shift-up indicator a couple times each time. :)

I have 4 modes...
Cold (oil temp under 160) Babied - keeping the engine between 2200 and 3300 Warm and in traffic, Highest gear without getting the rpm below 2000 Warm and open road, 3000-6000. Pushing it will get the shift light to come on occasionally. Can't do much of this yet since my oil cooler isn't in yet. Drive hard but be gentle. Thashing on a car by snapping the clutch, 2nd gear chirps, etc will distroy her. Trust me, I did this on my first 4 cars. It's a ton of fun and they'll take it for a long time. You will have higher maintenance costs, and you will distroy her in the long run. Redlining will reduce life and cause loss of power over time but rings and cams are not that difficult to replace. Cornering just wears out tires ball joints and bearings. Easy to replace. But rattles never go away. Loose drivelines, noisy rear ends and broken transmissions get expensive really quick. |
I drive like a total a$$ because it's what people expect when they see my car's hotness. I can't let the public down.
