Who drives their 370 hard often?

370zdub · 09-27-2009, 02:02 AM

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?

Pushing_Tin · 09-27-2009, 02:05 AM

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

I give it a stomp every once a while.

370zdub · 09-27-2009, 02:29 AM

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

You need to take me for a ride on that ramp in the z lol.

You should enjoy your car's treasured performance and handling. Why deprive yourself of the pleasures of driving a satisfyingly quick and responsive vehicle!

I do the same as the OP.

I also must say that the trunk (and passenger seat and rear shelves, if necessary) holds a good amount of groceries!!

I have went to get groceries in mine but I have found the Titan is a little easier since I can park up close and not in the middle of no where!

Normally if I make a grocery run in the Z it turns into an hour long drive because I dont want to stop driving! haa

Hey, when I was researching the car..I came across a youtube video where he actually was able to stuff 4-5 huge packs of toilet paper from Costco in the back of the thing....I couldn't make it to a dealer fast enough after that
