Race (not really) to 100k

JARblue · 04-22-2012, 09:25 PM

Awesome, USMCASA - almost 90K miles and a beautiful engine bay to boot

We're almost to 18K in 14 months of ownership. We hardly use Synchro Rev. I definitely plan to follow your lead and continue to regularly clean the engine bay.

yeah tires have been a learning experience for me. at first i was all about traction and sticky tires, but after replacing tires like that every 7k miles i went with a harder compound and overall better tire. started with the stock potenza's then went to invo's and now running michelin pilot sport a/s. with the michelin's i'm getting about 20k out of a set on the rear and are by far the quietest best riding tires i have ever owned without sacrificing too much grip. i will never buy another tire for it besides the michelins.

I like seein a Z hold up well. Makes me feel better about my purchase

NickTurnon · 05-04-2012, 10:57 AM

I purchased mine last August or September with 27k. I now have 47k and the years not even over yet.

Its my DD though, & I drive 45 minutes to work & 45 Minutes home everyday. Not to mention gym, grocery store, bank, etc..

I had a slight problem with my gears grinding on my 7AT but it seemed to go away..

USMCASA- is your car paid off? I still have a while to go on my loan & debating selling the car in order to get more of a return on my initial purchase..

I was looking into something more practical for my long commute.. Prius? Or Something..

I went from a Tahoe to Charger R/T to 370z. Slowly getting better and better MPG.

Living here is Dallas I don't drive as much as I used to, although there was a stint where I was driving to Houston (500mi round trip) every weekend, so I racked up several thousand miles quickly there... When I lived in LA, I would've had you beat, I was averaging 49k a year, tires every 15k miles along with pads [I beat the shite out of that car]... (I was driving a 2001 Toyota Avalon, I blew the engine rebuilt it and STILL kept driving it, LOL)
