1200 mile trip

Highway · 09-22-2013, 10:03 PM

I did a trip to Florence, SC and back in mine last fall and didn't have any major complaints. Only issue was having my legs cramp up since I'm not really able to move them around.

I also came from an S2K and don't think I ever drove it further than 200 miles.

The S2K was better at driving in the rain with the top down. As long as you're doing 60+ you would never get wet, but the Z will soak you at any speed.

I'd have to try it out. The tires on the S were horrible in the rain so I always slowed way down. One time coming back from the Dragon I left early to get back to an event and I got caught in a late season snow storm. I think I went 20 mph for 2 hours.

My wife noticed though that the Z buffets the wind much better in the cabin with the side windows up. We could actually have a conversation and listen to music even over the FI exhaust droning a tad climbing the hills.
