"I Can't drive 55"
 
I just can't drive this car slow, it just does not want to go slow at all. I get in this car and I just want to rev it out and hit the twisties. :driving:

I have owned some nice running and nice handling cars in the past but this Z for some reason is just one of the most fun cars to drive and it's so easy to drive fast. I need help :icon14:

Even During Break-in...
 
I'm right there with you. I'm still in the break-in period and following all the rules, but I won't be slightly surprised the first time I get pulled over. I've never driven a manual with a such a strong top gear before...it just goes.

To me, 370Z is one of the easiest 300+ hp cars to drive at normal speed. In fact even 350Z was much harder to keep at speed. Any pressure on the pedal would take you all the way to 80+ if you don't keep adjusting back and forth. I can keep 370Z going at almost any speed without even looking at the speedometer.

I use the cruise control, just to make sure I don't go to slow!!!!

I am having the same issue down here in Houston. We are having some wonderfully cold weather and its the first time I have driven my car in anything below 85° weather and it loves it! Makes me miss my turbo however man turbos love this cool dense air!

Fastest I got was 130mph :) on. Need to go to track to max it out

Keep driving over the posted speed limit and your'e gonna get a nasty reminder in your rearview mirror with flashing red lights.

I hit 120 just running through each of the 'gears' in the 7AT. I slowed way down after that as I was approaching a subdivision enterance and didn't want to risk anything more (than what I already did - lol)

Even if I was driving a versa... I can't do 55. Lol cruising speed to me is 80.
Triple digits for sport driving. Lol. :)
