How do u guys drive ur z?

Mine is a DD also, I live really close to work so my commute is a whopping 5 minutes.

Most of my miles are all for fun, I shift at 4k. I agree about the car wanting to be driven, she's meant for performance so take her out, open her up and enjoy!

I live about 25 minutes away from work, but it usually takes me about 10 minutes to get there.

I follow all speed limits, signal, and drive very slow.

I drive mine like I stole it whenever possible... And have to at least lay down some rubber once a day

Cafiax · 03-02-2012, 04:02 PM

why buy a 3.7L 2 seater if your going to drive it like a 1.3L 4 seater imo.

I agree, people that drive like that would be better served buying a sedan with a little power.

Mine isn't a daily driver, I usually only take it out after work or on weekends, so when I get it out, I get it out to play and have a little fun. Great way to relieve stress.

Lately I've been pretty abusive I take the traction off an give it hell, its fun but wouldn't recommend it unless you can handle going side ways or have money for another set of tires

I don't. Haven't driven it for 5 months.

christian370z · 03-02-2012, 06:44 PM

In normal driving, I try to shift between 1.5-3krpm but I will drop down through the gears if there's some open roads and do WOT pulls. If I run through the canyons or go out for a spirited drive, then I give the Z a damn good workout.

Spirited driving on occasion but don't like to beat on it every second.

Treat her like your wife/gf.

Take her to the limit but don't get her upset.

Use her on the streets, and when you're done leave her in the garage and go to bed?
