In all seriousness, It makes sense to test out the air bags :D

test drives are good, but loaner cars get my special long term test...no salesman in the car to whine.


every stop sign is pedal to the metal launch...lol

Got to do neutral drops at 4k in your Chevy Aveo Rental!

GM dealership refused to loan me a car while my car was at the body shop for 1.5 weeks...............oh well......no fun for me

your pic of your porsche is at the dealership on 4West right?? in front of DCH Honda? sweet ride...first time i drove my g37 in the rain i wanted to test its handling limits..i slid out at 45mph but VDC saved my ***...i can def see the 370z spinning out..but i woulda though VDC would save you..

Oh man, my bro got one as a rental when someone broke into his car. We got that egg all kinds of sideways. Tires went back with a huge flat spot! Good times.

i would of killed that rental, it was the peak of winter...lol

That's like saying you cannot appreciate the value of a life until you go out and kill someone. What a f*cking moron!! The more you open your mouth here the more it is evident you are a blooming idiot!

This thread has taken all sorts of twists and turns.

Accidents happen. Whatever. But...

.. a Porsche Turbo owner doesn't get confused as to what kind of Porsche he is driving. Anybody can say one thing (turbo) and then grab a quick pic off the interenet to validate the claim (only to have it be a C2S.. not a turbo.. oops) and then backpedal later.

If that is your car in the pic, go get a red hat, pose with the car for a quick pic and then perhaps this whole thing will hold more water.

Let's start there with a little validity and then move forward..

By the way... did I mention what my other car was?

Here's a pic to validate the claim:

Now go ask me to wear a particular item of clothing and pose with it... I won't be able to do it..

why would he do that, i doubt he cares about doing that for us......lol

KillerBee, I want you to go take another picture of you next to it in a white shirt with some horizontal stripes otherwise i'm calling :bs:

no, i want a pic of you in a yellow shirt with a red stripe and a Ferrari badge on it with you standing in front of the enzo with a green hat and blue shoes...and the yellow Z parked beside the enzo with the left blinkers on

what if he doesn't have blue shoes, can he wear red ones? You KNOW a guy with a ferrari is bound to have red shoes....

LOL ! :bowrofl:

blue pumas i demand


they do exist

I'm just calling BS


Why not? He took the time to join a 370Z forum in order to make the post in the first place. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I just want a starting point.

link has a bad word......lol

The monkey looks frightened.

Going to the Aston Martin dealership tomorrow to test drive a few cars. This small incident will not deter me from pushing the DBS around a sharp corner at 100mph minimum.

No **** we saw a guy step out of a Ferrari in Miami and he had some Red Ferrari Pumas. I laughed because he was color coordinated with the car.

Is that wrong? lol.

Every now and then I wear a red polo shirt and drive my solid red 370!

guys, this is serious thread. i would appreciate it if you keep on topic. thanks

^^^----:bs:

how old are you?
why were you driving so fast in a teat car let aloen any car that you could not safely control and why did you not allow a margin of error?

You are sad and not worthy to own a Zed, and you have the nerve to post about it. Idiot.

Car is replacable, you are not - at least everyone's OK.

That said, I'm curious what was done to do that if VDC wasn't turned off ;)

I hate hearing that...but I bet it happens way more than we'd like to know.

I think some states it matters.

That, and your insurance always protects the other car/driver/passengers/property...not yours...

Wicked game they play.

I've been on the sidelines, but I'm going to ahead and throw the :bs: :gtfo2:

I can see it now:

FOR SALE
2009 370z
Any reasonable offer!
Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!
Never owned... salvage

VDC can only do so much. If you are going too fasty even VDC will not save your a_s.

riiiight!!
 

funny that the pic has two other porsches in the picture....like its at a dealership... just a little weird.

now that we all agree that the story is BS, lets accually turn this waste of a thread into something good and talk about the limits of the VCD. What can and cant it do/prevent?

Even at 77 mph, it can probably still save your ***. Even braking or flooring the throttle, because you don't actually make the car go (remember, electronic throttle, drive by wire), it will likely override you.
VDC, or vehicle dynamic control, is literally a very advanced traction control system, and hence, can do a little more than a TCS system, but is essentially the same thing. However, VDC is capable of actually limiting the throttle.

Seriously, I haven't see so much ******** in my life. Guy thinks he's a race driver and doesn't give details. Last I heard, racing is not a government classified project.

Good idea. In this particular situation, the VDC would not have let the driver have full acceleration, at that time, which lead to the back of the car stepping out like that. Speed, steering, lateral force and wheel spin are things the computer processes many times a second.
