Footloose301 · 07-19-2012, 01:02 AM

1400 miles each way. From South Florida to Upstate NY last August.

djpathfinder · 07-19-2012, 01:02 AM

800 miles in my 40th Anniversary. Twice. Comfortable.

Ajobie · 07-19-2012, 01:18 AM

took a trip from albuquerque up to oregon to visit my brother, at roughly 1,500 miles each way. It was a fun trip and I enjoyed the drive

LA to vegas. Don't remember it being particularly uncomfortable, but I have been getting uncomfortable lately driving home from work (often 1hr+). I wonder if it's due to sitting all day at work before the drive home.

I just completed a 700 mile trip through the mountains with mine. Lots of fun top down, sun shining beautiful driving except for one crazy-eye deer. Luckily for me he was hunting Nismos only...

Google lists two routes I can take. One is via the I-10 and interstate 20 E. It goes through Albuquerque, NM and Amarillo, TX and the other one takes me through Phoenix and Odessa, TX.

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?

If anyone is curious exactly which routes I am looking at just go to maps.google.com and put in for start: Ontario, CA and destination Dallas, TX.

Me and ron did the run in his nismo, which have cloth seats no problems for me.

Atlanta to Elkhart Lake Wisconsin, 2 days on track at Road America then home, 900 miles each way.

danegrey · 07-19-2012, 08:56 AM

I've done Atlanta to Dayton OH on several occasions about 500 miles...
Its a pure joy to drive the car.....
Lately couple times a month go from Atlanta to Ft Bragg, NC weekly for work and its about 400 miles... Just great to drive the car

christian370z · 07-19-2012, 02:35 PM

LA to San Diego is the furthest trip I've done, nothing compared to some of you guy's trips! But with traffic, it was a 5 hour ordeal. The Z is very comfortable and while it can get a little tiresome having to work the 6mt in constant heavy traffic at times, it is a great long distance car.

semtex · 07-19-2012, 03:18 PM

Atlanta, GA to Calgary, Canada and back. 2,425 miles each way.

Killed a few bugs along the way.

RandyD · 07-19-2012, 03:18 PM

Norther Virginia to Zdayz then on to Miami - then back up the coast...

just over 3000 miles - longest stretch was a 16 hour day from Fontana to Ft Myers

loved the trip.
