I'm guessing the big rush would be to get to the nearest Tire shop?

The 370Z never really got my heart pounding when I floored it in a straight, it was more like "oh, well, alright, then." Although, my very first "kindof fast car" was an LS1 F-body, and hitting 3rd at 60, I remember how that used to feel fast with 350 horsepower.

I can attest to the feeling going away after a while.

Though, I'm not fond of straight line driving anyways and always enjoy the curves - that seems to never get old.

No matter how fast the car is you get used to it after a while and want more...

Right on, right on...my brother is building a 800+ whp SS and a 550 whp Camaro to satisfy his addiction for speed. Some will play video games, while others head to the track.

It's like any other relationship you have...the joy is discovering new ways to keep it exciting.

If you really wanna feel the rush just fly by a cop while accelerating over the speed limit. That's always good for getting some sweaty palms.

Man.......... Everytime I go fast, I just get exited! and Everytime I just think "I love my CAR!"

For those who have been driving MT for a while, I know you know what I'm talking about.

Does the feeling ever go away? because I dont want to lose that feeling, Its awesome!
I literally laughed out loud when I read your post I have been driving Nissan sports cars for 2 years and for me...the feeling you describe is forever present....I am sooo proud of my baby

I owned a 2003 350Z for 10yrs. I just purchased a 2013 370Z Touring with Sport package / Nav package / Bose Sound / 7 SP AT / 19" Rays. When they said they changed everything on the Z, they did and it's all amazingly better. There is no better sports car for the money... period.
