I drove with a lead foot today... Well, I always do, but more so today. Bunch of morons on the road or something.

First, on my way into work this morning, I pull out in front of traffic and nail it. 1st gear gripped and I took off hard, 2nd gear however lit up the tires and I roasted them for quite a bit up the road, rpms hoovering around 7k the entire time! Looked in the rear view and saw the traffic way back there behind me driving through a white cloud of smoke. LOL

Then on the way home tonight, lightly raining out, no one out on the road in either direction, I took off at one light, rolled into the throttle in 1st, then gave 2nd and 3rd hell! Had a tail happy Z for probably close to a 1/4 mile, at about a max of 50 mph, which is the speed limit anyway.

Yeah, I love my Z... And my one brother still can't understand how I barely manage 200 miles to a tank! Hahaha

It is about smiles per mile not miles per gallon!

Exactly!

And I'm not one to go ripping up tires either (pointless and a waste of money). But since the ole' girl decided to let lose in 2nd gear for no reason, I decided to go along with it and let her do her thing.

I really need to get her on a dyno sometime and see what she's making. She's got some power under the hood for sure.

The last time my brother drove her (he had the '16 Magma Sport 6-speed), he said she feels like she's in attack mode all the time, always eager and ready to pounce at a moment's notice. He said his Z felt like a Cadillac by comparison. LOL

And I've just realized something. Over all the years and vehicles I've owned (close to 20), I have NEVER referred to any of them as a "he" or a "she". Hmm...
