Drove Atlanta to Ft Bragg, NC to Atlanta
Just sharing the fun of driving my Z back forth from Ft Bragg for work.
on the way home avg 27 mpg at about 73 mph, I only go about 5 miles above, not worth the extra hassle of worrying about traffic. Car is easy to drive and I wish I could do it faster, it seem that it would easily run at 100 mph for 4 hours instead of the 6.... Saw no other 370z on the way home, did see a 350z... oil temp was about 220 for such a long drive. only complaint was the seats, got a little uncomfortable after about 3 hours... just some thoughts.. |

Nice! I have the Touring seats and I think they are rather comfortable compared to the cloth seats which seem fairly hard. I'm not sure which you have.

I enjoy reading that your temp hit 220 on a 6 hour drive, seeing how it averaged a high of 80 today in central PA temps....I could imagine further down south. Helps that I most likely wouldn't need an oil cooler..

That said, i find the seats in my friends M3 to be terribly uncomfortable but find the seats in my old Corolla S to be great for 10 hours. |
