That all depends on what you mean by driving it hard. My Z is my daily driver, so I don't engage in stupid activities with it. However, I feel that it is also a sports car and can handle being pushed every so often.

I followed the break-in, and I usually drive with the flow of traffic. I learned a long time ago (when I was a nieve and invincible teenager with an old musclecar) that street racing costs a lot of money and that driving is a privilege, not a right. I do use the full throttle acceleration when I can, especially when merging - on ramps are made to accelerate to highway speeds and get on the highway, not to gently get onto the highway at 35 mph and gradually speed up on the highway.

There are some nice backroads near where I live, and I do enjoy having a well handling car - but I think the car's handling limits are far greater than the speeds I am willing to take the turns at (usually the max road speed limit, not the suggested turn speed).

hahaha. alright with that face I can for sure tell the seriousness.

I have went to get groceries in mine but I have found the Titan is a little easier since I can park up close and not in the middle of no where!

Normally if I make a grocery run in the Z it turns into an hour long drive because I dont want to stop driving! haa

I wore out a set of brake pads in 20 minutes on the racetrack, but I though I was just taking it easy, apparently not.

I beat the piss out of it!

:shakes head:
Lucky...

Well put, LW75, well put !!!!!!!!

Indeed LW75 well put, by my house there is a mountain pass that is very curvy and a ton of fun to go for a drive on after work or on any given afternoon, it really is great to jump in the Z and just go cruise.

I usually "get on it" at least once every time I drive it. Just doesn't feel right if I don't!

Hwy 6 north of Price?

Hey, when I was researching the car..I came across a youtube video where he actually was able to stuff 4-5 huge packs of toilet paper from Costco in the back of the thing....I couldn't make it to a dealer fast enough after that ;)

i like to hear the engine past 4500 rpm every time and sometimes i run it to 7500 but i have never run it hard enough to see my oil temp get to 240

I have stock exhaust so it has to be whined out to make it sound right.

as hard and as often as I can within the limits of the law

I drive it like I stole it.
