Perhaps I should have been more clear? If so,
my bad. I guess I should have known by posting in the track racing section that the only people answering immediately think RACE!!!! You know, because that's all any self respecting owner of a Z should want to do all day 24/7.
Perhaps our definition of racing is different? I don't know, because I don't frequent these threads. If it's just me, jumping off the line, by myself, wanting to go fast, that's NOT racing, at least to me. Perhaps, due to legal issues, this forum sees it differently? But the way I see it, I can accelerate fast myself all I want.
There are circumstances (which I have yet to have in 5000 miles) that present themselves where jumping off the line with some other yahoo because he's been cramming up your arse or something else unsafe is the safe way to get out of jams. But that's different topic altogether.
For the record to you safety folks, I am 42 and have NEVER been driving in or been the cause of any accident. I'll put my safe driving record up against anyone else's. Do NOT tell me what I should or shouldn't do in my car, I'll be the judge of that thank you.
This thread has ran it's course. I got some good answers here and will use those answers to my benefit. Thanks to those who could post some advice without preaching what I shouldn't be doing in my car.
Mods, please shut it down before a simple question gets turned into the next world war. Thanks.
