Where are you driving too? I'm guessing you had your car for 3 1/2 yrs possibly. If so that means you are putting like 25k miles a year. So you have never had any issues or problems at all? How do you drive your car? I would take it that you baby it & do not drive the hell out of it. Man that is freaken effen awesome if no problems or headaches.

I drive to work daily about 15 min each way but to go out the closest decent places are about 45 min to 1hr away. I've had is since nov09 so a little shy of 2 1/2 years. Haven't had any issues with my Z, guess I got a good one **knocks on wood**. I would say I give it spirited starts but I far from baby it. I am still on the original clutch but about to put the 6th set of tires on the rear, still on the 3rd set up front. I would say I really only beat on it probably 2 or 3 times a week. Haven't had any overheating issues even after running it at Deals Gap last year. I change the oil regularly with Mobil 1 and a K&N oil filter. If you take care of your car it will last. If anyone is wondering wether or not to get the sport package just look at the mileage I'm getting on my clutch when I've seen others with 20-25k replacing theirs. This is by far my favorite car I've ever owned

I just had the inside and outside detailed a few weeks ago. It looks practically brand new. I never open the hood so I didn't bother having it cleaned.

Awesome, USMCASA - almost 90K miles and a beautiful engine bay to boot

We're almost to 18K in 14 months of ownership. We hardly use Synchro Rev. I definitely plan to follow your lead and continue to regularly clean the engine bay.

Nice....very nice. In the end it is all about how you actually drive it. Man you sure have went through some tires....lol. For how many miles you have on your car it is extremely nice looking & your engine looks like it is brand spanking new. I give you two thumbs up.

USMCASA · 04-23-2012, 09:24 AM

yeah tires have been a learning experience for me. at first i was all about traction and sticky tires, but after replacing tires like that every 7k miles i went with a harder compound and overall better tire. started with the stock potenza's then went to invo's and now running michelin pilot sport a/s. with the michelin's i'm getting about 20k out of a set on the rear and are by far the quietest best riding tires i have ever owned without sacrificing too much grip. i will never buy another tire for it besides the michelins.

Coming up on 40k here.

good job maintaining your Z. its inspiration to other Z owners to maintain it as nice as you did, hopefully I can as well. Gonna keep mine till till the wheels fall off. (not literally of course

)
