Damn, 1st gear takes you 60 mph? That's almost 100 km/h? A 370z would be close to redlining in 2nd gear at that speed!

Yes, now you understand why I think my Z06 is a bit much for the street at times. It will do the same thing. The top of 2nd gear is go-to-jail speed on most public highways at the officer's discretion. 4th gear = 160mph.

Gotta be able to put that power down.

I think it runs up to 66mph or so.

My Z doesn't even hit 180* by the time I get to work, so I can't have any morning fun

Pfft you can have "fun" on ice cold summer tires at 1,500 rpm if you want.

With Blizzaks on everything is all squishy and the traction control will come on pretty easily so even when I do let loose it isn't very gratifying. That first drive when I put on the summer meats back on is titillating to say the least.

That's why I love my Dunlop WinterSports. Much better dry performance than the Blizzaks, while being good enough to handle the light snow that I would have to drive in.
