You just misunderstood me. That's all. Once again. There is nothing wrong with the original design. But for those who want more performance out of their Z, an aftermarket item is available through Nissan. Last edited by avitech; 12-01-2009 at 08:31 PM. |

Agree about the status aspect, at least around these parts. My dentist has a leased 911 Turbo. She confessed she does not drive it all that hard except when she accelerates onto the freeway .

Guys, it seems to me that avitech is trying to make a positive contribution after an admittedly lackluster start to his membership on this forum. Human nature being what it is, I understand the urge to just pile on him whenever he posts something. But maybe we should try to give him a break? I mean, if he's trying to turn a new leaf, we could have a little generosity of spirit and meet him halfway by giving him a second chance. Just a thought.

For example if I were to say that I had a Red Apple. Notice I didn't use any negative adjectives in order to describe the item? It was just pure descriptive. If I had offended anyone in this whole newsgroup then you have my sincere apologies. Upsetting and or insulting anyone is not and never was my intention. It's just that wen I hear about other people breaking traffic laws and doing things on the public access roads that are unsafe for the general public at large then I tend to want to encourage safe driving practices. If you want to drive faster than 80, sure you can. You can do so all day if you want. All I ask is you just do it the legal way by going to a closed race track or by driving in a dry lake bed where it is safe and there are no cars, people, or animals in the way. Aside from that, if you want to travel at higher speeds to get from point A to point B then it's better to try the Autobahn with no speed restrictions. Or better yet, learn how to fly a single engine aircraft. But driving >100mph on any limited access highway in North America is both illegal and highly not advised or encouraged. Unless of course that stretch of highway is closed down just for racing. I'm just worried for myself and my friends who have to share the road with speeders who don't respect life. |

I do not favor excessive speed on public highways. That said, we have stretches of interstate in the south with a posted limit of 75MPH. People regularly drive close to 85 MPH on them. Assuming the vehicle is in good mechanical condition and tires are fine, there is little danger in that, assuming no racing is going on.
