Umm, he said 27 to 30% grade, not 30 degrees.
Still steep. But only about half that (16 degrees).

Yup, and at 300ft or so, paving it would cost as much as a lightly used 370z, taking drainage, grade, etc. Into consideration . So awd it is, for now.

They probably fixed the transmission and I know 2013 got better shocks and struts, im just saying I got tired of grinding gears and skipping sideways in corners over the slightest irregularity, with my Z. Replacing it didn't bother me in the least.

Love the tranquility. Wake up and surrounded by green, water, bird's chirping....instead of lawn mowing crew, road noise, and traffic jam.
