I love my 370Z and I don't look down to it.

I just wonder technically why it cannot go through that flooded road while some others can .. ??

As long as the Water don't enter the Air Filters,also the Exhausts...then should be fine......

Nope, a 370Z is not a boat or a submarine by any stretch of imagination ...

If it was a certain white Lotus Esprit, you might bet your money.

First off you never drive through a water filled area. You don't know how deap it is. Being from Cali, I guess you have never had to deal with flash flooding. This guy was an idiot.

huh..

Some people's kids. :shakes head:

:facepalm:



Troll much? :rolleyes:

I'm not a troller, but anyway I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable for my thread.

As someone replied above, fortunately here in California I've never had to drive my Z on flooded road yet.

I just literally wondered why a 370Z in that movie failed to go through flooded road in its technical aspects, especially if some other cars could do it.

I'm perfectly comfortable, thank you. I was just giving you $hit for asking why a Z could not drive through that lake :roflpuke2:

The Z is a low car. That's the technical reason why it can't make it and other cars can. I didn't even watch the video, but I'm going to guess there were no other sports cars just inches off the ground driving through it.

You should never HAVE to drive your Z on a flooded road. If the road is flooded, dont' fuckin drive on it. I avoid puddles more than a couple of inches thick. I've even gotten honked at for stopping in a lane to wait for an opening in other lanes to avoid a puddle. Worth it.

The host explained it at the beginning. Water getting into the engine through the intakes. The car might be modified with CAI which may sit lower in the front bumper then stock air boxes, thus sucking in water at a lower level.

I was hosting a cruise through the hill country for a bunch of Houston folks several years ago when a sudden rainstorm hit. There wasn't even any standing water yet, but the guys running Stillen G3's insisted we pull over immediately due precisely to that concern.

Only a moron would attempt to drive trough floodwater, even if they have a Hummer. You have no idea how deep it is (i.e. if the road has washed away underneath) and many, many incredibly stupid people have died this way.

Another possible reason, speaks to how low the car is. Like Jar said. The level of water at which the Z starts floating would be much lower then other cars and if the gas tank is not full, the rear starts to float first and the car has no drive as the wheels lift of the pavement.

dumbass

Driving across that much standing water In any vehicle is, let's just say, stupid.

Are you competing for the Darwin Award?
