bob88 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I know i havnt posted here much but I just have to say ,its been a good day. I drove my Z around today for the first time. I've driven it around the block before, but today I started driving it on a regular basis. So what does a 17 year old with a 300hp car that weighs as much as a honda civic do on his first day of driving it? Well, first I took it on the freeway with my freind in his 4th gen V6 camaro following me, he didnt even have a chance. Then I followed my brother in our 01 mustang GT, again, not even close. Not to mention I tore down a ford 302 for my brothers 66 mustang project. Very good day. I love this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boodlefoof Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Sorry to be a stick in the mud... but... Keep your racing on the track. Too much fun on the freeway and you wont have the car very long... Also, highway hot-doggin' causes accidents, which drives up insurance rates on these cars, gives the hot rodding hobby a bad name, and ultimately leads to many legislative attempts to kill this hobby. Congratulations on your maiden voyage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strotter Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Congrats of your first "recreational" (as opposed to "diagnostic") drive. It's a wonderful feeling, no doubt about it. What, uh, Mr. foof says is true, do your best to keep it under control. But, that said, It's Good To Be King, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob88 Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 It was kept below 80 on an empty freeway on ramp, not realy a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Good deal, they just don't want you to become a statistic! Some folks never have driven a powerful car can let it get away from them especially on the maiden voyage! ENJOY!!!!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getZ Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 On my first few rides out I didn't have the hood latch installed. It kind of works like a speed governor. Start getting above 50mph and the hood starts to lift. At about 60 it is about 6 inches open...time to slow down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
