Will the feeling ever go away........
 
Driving down a straight road, Your palms are sweety, going 70 MPH per hour on 3rd gear and going faster by the second, Your heart is pounding, Your Vision is only concentrated on the road, shifting so fast it becomes a natural instinct. Then looking down at the speedometer with a HUGE SMILE on your FACE :tup: and just thinking "Wow".

Man.......... Everytime I go fast, I just get exited! and Everytime I just think "I love my CAR!"

For those who have been driving MT for a while, I know you know what I'm talking about.

Does the feeling ever go away? because I dont want to lose that feeling, Its awesome! :driving:

Yup.

But hitting a twisty road and rev matching all on your own never gets old. :driving:

kenchan 01-15-2013 10:20 PM

is rev matching all on your own such a big deal? :confused: i do that every day (not my Z..)

shaun66 01-15-2013 10:30 PM

When I first got the 370z I thought it was a duckin race car in a straight line(first real sports car).. Now it feels slow. Still fun to drive though!

R0bDC 01-15-2013 10:31 PM

My Next Step is Drifting! :) I'm so exited to learn! Imagine having to do a U turn, but the light just turn Yellow, So you step on the gas and when you are close enough.....HANDBREAK!!! Do a 180 and just keep getting your way!

I cant wait!

Eh... please don't.

I have owned quite a few sports cars over the years and yes the Z is not the fastest car from the factory. But for the money, looks, and performance that you get, nothing else comes close on the market. Unless you spend lots of $$$. I enjoy the feeling I get every time that I drive it whether it's down the street or another city.

It handles amazingly great, right from the factory. At about 300 to the wheels, it's a nice base HP to start out at. But the car does lack in overall TQ. To each his own, but the Nissan Z has always been on my list of, "Must own' in my life time. Down the road, you can always swap motors, add Turbo's/supercharges.

Either way, your either paying a shop to do the work or the factory. It all depends on what your goals are for the car. Mine were simple, better daily drive ability, will still keeping my Horsepower addiction in check. And having a fully warranty again is nice. I haven't lost that awesome feeling I get every time I drive my Z and I hope I never do. Just my two cents, take it or leave it.

forza370z 01-16-2013 12:27 AM

But to answer your question, yes that feeling will go away eventually. You will ALWAYS seeking for more power.:tup:

CDepp 01-16-2013 01:07 AM

The excitement of the force. The look and feel of the curves. Pushing it to that special limit, and then...satisfaction.

Then the rush is over, the feeling passes, and you roll over to sleep.

Don't worry though, you'll get the urge again after a few hours or a day or so....

Lol

Tribalpinoy91 01-16-2013 01:14 AM

Vision gets blurry when I hit it through 5-6k, through 4000miles I still feel it

I'm guessing the big rush would be to get to the nearest Tire shop?

The 370Z never really got my heart pounding when I floored it in a straight, it was more like "oh, well, alright, then." Although, my very first "kindof fast car" was an LS1 F-body, and hitting 3rd at 60, I remember how that used to feel fast with 350 horsepower.

Haboob 01-16-2013 07:26 AM

I can attest to the feeling going away after a while.

Though, I'm not fond of straight line driving anyways and always enjoy the curves - that seems to never get old.

No matter how fast the car is you get used to it after a while and want more...

:icon18: Right on, right on...my brother is building a 800+ whp SS and a 550 whp Camaro to satisfy his addiction for speed. Some will play video games, while others head to the track.

It's like any other relationship you have...the joy is discovering new ways to keep it exciting.

It's a vicious cycle. :mad:

Mitco39 01-16-2013 10:04 AM

If you really wanna feel the rush just fly by a cop while accelerating over the speed limit. That's always good for getting some sweaty palms.

I literally laughed out loud when I read your post :icon17: I have been driving Nissan sports cars for 2 years and for me...the feeling you describe is forever present....I am sooo proud of my baby :driving::excited:

I owned a 2003 350Z for 10yrs. I just purchased a 2013 370Z Touring with Sport package / Nav package / Bose Sound / 7 SP AT / 19" Rays. When they said they changed everything on the Z, they did and it's all amazingly better. There is no better sports car for the money... period.

I agree and can i say nice f...ing car you got there, You went all out! When I was looking for a car I was actually looking for a 350z, I didn't think I could afford a 370z. I saw 2 Z'a right outside a dealership, one was a 350 and the other a 370. I remember getting into the 370 and I was like "wow! This is what I want". Then I got into the 350 and I was like "meh" the feeling from being just inside the cars was so much different from the 350 to 370. (IMO) Obviously I went with the 370z, it only took 2 rejections from loaning companies, finally the third approved me for the loan haha.

UNKNOWN_370 01-16-2013 02:05 PM

To me, weather predicts whether my Z will feel fast or slow. From 40-77 degrees, the z is a monster. 52-66 degree days is where the Z feels like it has an extra 40hp. then comes those Texas summers, where the car feels average fast. Even with oil cooling it doesn't feel as good as it does in the fall/winter.

kenchan 01-16-2013 02:52 PM

yah, they irony. the months that get the best engine performance, tires start to loose grip or car just hibernates.

That's why I got rid of it. Performance was too inconsistent. In the winter, car was an absolute blast. In the AZ summers, it felt no faster than a Chevy Malibu, and was waaaaaaaaaay too loud / rough for that level of performance.

I foresee you speeding, building up your excitement, hitting your E-brake to make yourself feel like Johnny badass, only to crash, die, burn, kill others, and should you live, be hit with a lawsuit so hard, it will be considered a heirloom for 10 generations. Good luck with your endeavors OP, Post when you have a salvaged motor to sell.
