Who drives their 370 hard often?
 

As the title states how many of you guys regularly run her hard. I personally am not hammering on mine all the time but at least one time every time I drive it I click off a couple gears quick and ring the motor out. So lets hear it, is your Z ran hard?

I don't run it to red line every time I drive, but I do drive it hard almost every day. That's why I bought it!

No that belongs on the track.

Driving hard could mean merging on to the freeway in 2nd-3rd gear redlining, while still keeping to the speed limit. He's not necessarily saying that he is driving hard And breaking the law or doing dangerous things.

I give it a stomp every once a while.

I guess I see what you mean. My view on driving hard is literally beating the piss out of the car :icon17:

oh no no no, not beat the piss out of the car or break the law. Im saying like getting on the freeway and going to 7k rpm in 2nd then quick shift to 3rd. Things like that. Do any of you guys every get the back end loose going around corners?

Pushing_Tin, I agree there isn't much point in owning a 370z if you are not going to drive it like they designed it to be driven. It doesn't make much of a grocery getter.

Lets just say, I take this twisty acceleration ramp twice a day ;). Sometime at 4a.m. when there's nothing out there, I put a big smile on my face :tup:

Hey Kaiser, I didn't now you had it in you to do some spirited driving like. That sounded pretty good and it would've left a smile on my face also.

my car's still breaking-in...:icon14:

I baby my car around all day and keep within the speed limits. I accelerate slower than I did in my honda civic. I've only driven my Z hard once for about 5 seconds and managed to get myself a reckless driving ticket. Now im facing serious charges. I'll be saving any "fun activity" in the safe environment of a race track. I dont think my car will ever see higher than 3k rpm again.

Yeah, I bought mine for the gas mileage. I routinely shift at or below 2500 RPM. NOT!

<<< Never ever would I track or drive my car hard daily!!!

I tend to accelerate hard to the speed limit every now and then. I think she thinks I dont care if I dont! These machines were designed for it.

And always drive below the speed limit too!

:bowrofl:


If I get 20MPG, I'm "doing good" - lol
