Hard driving?

Tazicon · 11-07-2013, 11:04 AM

Yes pre-2013 it does. In manual it will NOT shift up unless you shift it.

I really do love the 7at and the 6mt as well, the big thing i left out was that i feel the 6mt would get me into less trouble /: ... I've gotten 2 tickets already in 3 weeks thats more then i have in my whole entire lifetime of driving.

Maybe stop driving like an asshat then? The transmission type isn't the issue, it's how you're driving it. Slow down before you hurt someone else/yourself/your car.

how? not sure. just left off the gas and brake, but people tend to panic or something and tries to throttle themselves out ending up in a ditch, up a tree, a pole, house, signs, mailboxes, cars, buses, trailers, candy vans, bushes, ponds, etc.

that's what happened:

1) start the Z and turn off VDC: "I am Schumacher..!!

"

2) Z starts to slide without the VDC: "I am still Schumacher...!!

"

3) Z starts to lose control: "Maybe I am Schumacher....

"

4) Z intercourse with the candy van: "I am no Schumacher....

"

Speaking of VDC on/off, I'm glad that you can toggle it! In my 350, if I turned off TCS it was off until I turned the car off and started it back up.

In my experience, 90 degree right-hand turns onto busy streets tend to set off VDC all the time. In these situations I tend to turn VDC off so I can quickly, and safely, get up to speed on a busy street. Then again, perhaps the stock tires just aren't grippy enough...lol.

What? 350z Enthusiast and up have VDC, any car built in 12' and higher years, by law must have sort of VDC. Which in the 370 is also able to be disabled, by default its on when the car starts.

My 2007 Enthusiast 350Z only had TCS.

That's why I turn it off too. Too many times it's come on for no reason making a turn.

Too late dude, you are now paying attention and spelling correctly. See how much better life has gotten since you left the ricer-wanna-be-gangster SI crowd?

Lothario · 11-07-2013, 01:58 PM

i beat the ever loving **** out of my car. redlining, speed restricter, i even turn the volume up past the recommended level. i dont get how some of the guys here, just idle around, or keep there z locked up in a garage. bought mine brand new in feb, already hit 30k, at least 1k of those miles were earned in a "spirited fashion"

and I only got 1 ticket, which im still pretty sure was BS.

now im off to find some popcorn and a flame suit

Mybe it's not that they idle around, it's that they don't put up stories of reckless driving on the streets up on the internet.

Lothario · 11-07-2013, 02:08 PM

keep the reckless stuff on the track. streets put to many innocents at risk.
