Slower than an off-road truck because...

Even braking was scary as the car felt super loose over rough areas.

Im in a new 2015 Sport w/ 32-33 PSI on stock summer tires.
So, unless a sway bar or something will help, he owns me on that course.

Don't be afraid to push your car next time, I doubt you got anywhere near the limits of the Z if that truck didn't roll on a corner.

All goes back to what I've said before.... Today's 'drivers' don't drive, they aim..

Someone already mentioned the rules in a previous post on this thread, so your redundant post is worthless. Take it easy, the guy clearly didn't know of this rule when he originally posted. The same thing happened to me once. Add something productive to the discussion or

Here's what you need to do, please follow steps closely:

1. Sell your Z. This is imperative and the rest of the steps will negate themselves if not strictly adhered to.
2. Buy a lifted truck. Any brodozer will do!
3. Buy a pair of white oakley gascans (very important to winning that they're white)
4. Buy a metal mulisha t shirt
5. Buy a tin of chewing tobacco
6. Buy a Fox racing hat
7. If you have any attractive cousins, or even not that attractive doesn't really matter, ask them to marry you.

There you go my friend, a winning formula! You can't possibly lose next time.

Perhaps you should read the rules. No multiple posting. You use the multi quote function. "Don't be afraid to push your car next time" Probably will see you on the news in a high speed freeway crash for street racing dude.

Don't act so hard for someone who isn't on this forum enough to know the rules themselves. 36 posts.

^ jeesh, call another whambulance for this guy.*

I don't equate defending another forum member (as I'm doing) with hardness.* Nor do I equate time spent on this forum with hardness, in fact, just the opposite (which probably gives you an indication of my opinion of you).* Again, there's no reason to grill the poster about his seemingly honest mistake.*

Thanks for the instruction on multi posting, but I prefer to address each post on its own.

You'd better own a Dodge Challenger/Charger Hellcat rather than just a 370Z, which is also equipped with a high performance RD, Laser countermeasure, and very good luck to avoid all possible accidents.

Drive safe.

We have two prime examples in this thread.

Though I'm sure we disagree on who.

Aesthetic are you related to JungleZ, kay.zee or any other nom-de-forum he chose to use? You say you are 'defending another forum member', but when said forum member posts something that is in direct violation of the forum rules; how can you, in good conscience, defend him?

I have a suggestion for you, since you like to hand this term out:

AestheticCM1 · 03-30-2016, 10:48 PM

I took his side because I've been in his shoes before, when I was fairly new to the forum. It seems like he made an honest mistake, albeit in direct violation of the rules. I think the response osbornsm gave was the proper way to handle it. I don't think grilling the op is necessary.

mishuko · 03-31-2016, 05:25 AM

holy crap you crazy dinks... we seriously need to slow down and stop busting our wads so fast.

You also are a moron, and part of the problem. This has nothing to do with "forum rules" and a lot more to do with the safety of everyone in the public. I know thinking about the welfare of innocent people is difficult for you. If you fail to see that, one day you will be in an ambulance wishing it was a wahmbulance because of your reckless driving. You are either young, mentally challenged, or just a spoiled brat, but either way, clueless.
