Lots of 500+ mile day trips. The Z has never left Texas, although she has seen Mexico across the Rio Grande, Louisiana across Caddo Lake, and Oklahoma across Lake Texoma

New York to Orlando and back

RN SHARK · 04-08-2015, 06:43 PM

The furthest I've driven is from San Diego to Willow Springs and back. Also have done some SD to LA drives (five times I believe). So not very far.
Now that I live in Raleigh North Carolina, I'm looking forward to going to ZDayz at the NC/Tennessee border. That will be my new longest drive.

Westchester, NY to Boston a handful of times. About 350 miles round trip

For the One Lap of America this May, I will be driving about 3400 miles in 7 days...

I drove from Melbourne to Adelaide and back in a weekend (Friday morning to Sat night) for Round 1 of the SA State Sports Car Championships, 1620km round trip.

I regularly travel Melbourne/Goulburn and back for race events.

These are in my Ute towing a trailer/race car.

We also travel Melbourne to Mildura to see my (elderly) father which is 1100km round trip (in SWMBO Murano usually).

Have also done Melbourne-Perth (3400km one-way) and Melbourne-Darwin (3750 one-way) a couple of times ... just because I could !!

Travel distances in Australia are large .... as these maps show ..

For myself it was driving from El Paso TX to Atlanta then to Savannah. Stayed a week, then without stopped cept for food, bathroom drove back to El Paso. Thats a 1600 mile one way trip.

My Z is a 2015 so it was my first long road trip and I have to say the Z is a great highway car. Effortless acceleration, everyone looks at it (and wishes they were driving it), really comfortable seats, and just plain fun...especially in Texas...we have very high speed limits and virtually no cops along the desert areas. I drove at a sustained 100 once I left Fort Worth city limits.

Aseth, El Paso ftw! haha!! Not really it's a lame city with crappy roads. I haven't taken any trips yet but I'd like to go up to Cloudcroft and cruise the mountain trails.

Did Toronto to Ottawa +500k around gatineau area so was total about 1500KM.

I plan on doing Toronto to Halifax/Cape breton area which will be 1700ish km 1 way.... i'm estimating closer to 4500-5000km in total for the road trip =)

or in comparison to 90st like... a blink of an eye

I've driven across Canada, St. John's, NL to Victoria, BC and then back again a few years later in my '76 vette. 7500 kms (4500 miles) each way. Six days on the return trip including a one day lay over in Toronto. Also took the Z roadster from Halifax to Memphis return. Did the "Tail" on the way back. Awesome trip.

I went from Salt Lake City, UT to LA last year for a vacation. It was 10 hours to LA because of a wreck outside of Prim, NV and 9 hours coming back. While it was fun to drive up the PCH in my own car, I'm pretty sure I'll fly next time I go. I did like driving in LA, nice and aggressive everywhere, but getting passed by a Prius that was probably going 90+ had me perplexed.
