Holy crap.



Mine was about 700 miles. The Z is a kickin cruiser. Superbly comfy for the full drive.

I did a Baton Rouge, LA to Denver, CO run in my Z... have also been to Atlanta and back in it. Nice ride but the car does get smaller after the first 12 hours of driving.

blue tape FTW! (when my car was a virgin!)

From madison to chicago. Unlike many here the stiff ride got to me after the first hour. For me the car isn't that enjoyable in cruise control mode. It's definately not the worst car I've driven for cruising, but there are a lot better cars for this task.

Some ricers on the way made it interesting though :)

Los Angeles, CA to Scottsdale, AZ - 762 miles

Pretty comfortable.

Had a chance to hit 150 mph.

90 mi. Rond trip to work on twisty turny country roads, sometimes 4 days a week! Yay me!

500 miles one way, 200 miles random driving through old stomping grounds in middle Ohio, and then 500 miles back, in one day. Less fatigue than in any auto I've ever owned. Very comfortable seats, precise handling, and enough power to get out of any problems.

Seems clear that we like what we like, and that some statistical superiority of another car in some car magazine doesn't sway us much. Seems much like the subjectivity in deciding who is the most beautiful or sexiest movie actress or Playboy Playmate. Each to his own.

I'm 6'-1" with fairly long and sexy legs, and I don't find the cloth to be terribly uncomfortable unless I haven't shaved them recently

Both are the same distance (+/- 10 miles) and show only a 10 minute difference. I don't think traffic will be a problem as likely not during normal hours when i go through the bigger towns. Any oppinions on which is the more interesting drive?

The most interesting routes are ones that avoid Interstate. :tup: That being said, I-20 is probably best for your trip.

Cruise control is definitely boring, but an absolute necessity for road trips in TX. Luckily, I can't go more than about 4 straight hours of driving before having to fill up with gas, so I get to stretch my legs at least that often.

I've done 700 miles in the Z all within Texas on the same day. :driving:

Gibo77 07-21-2012 03:52 AM

From Milan to Nurburgring :driving:, about 2.000 km

the Car is very confortable :tup:

mhcoss 07-21-2012 03:53 AM

3000 miles

I *really* hope my Z doesn't end up looking like that. Man you had to post a pic of yours that was a MB 370z like mine didn't you! Bastage!

Making me imagine it now... ewwwww.

... and we do have our own - the Z, from the 240 to the 370, it has always been a different kinda sports car. You can have your Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, and so on, but there is something different to owning a Z. I've had two so far, a 300ZX Twin Turbo, and my current 370. My girlfriend enjoyed riding in my 300ZX better than any other car, especially on long trips. She said the seats were very comfortable. We find the 370 the same as well. New Orleans to Houston and back about 6 hours each way almost non-stop except for potty breaks and lunch when we got hungry, but we did NOT have to stop to "stretch our legs" because we were cramped. Other looong trips: New Orleans to Etowah, TN to run the Cherahola, The Dragon and the Devil's Triangle the next day, then on to Nashville, then tour Nashville, attend ZATTACK2012, then Drive back to New Orleans, and no "car fatigue" was experienced by either us or another couple in their 370.

Marvelous car - and we Each have our Own Z to appreciate. Thanks Datsun/Nissan, Thanks Mr Katayama :tiphat:
