It was an amazing day but I realized who's on my list.

Person and People I dislike the most:
1. Evil people- who doesn't?
2. Clowns- they're not funny
3. Rob
4. Telemarketers- nuff said
5. Pushy sells people- no means no


Why did I taught my skills just to be beating? Next time I'll mislead you Rob by telling you the opposite; instead of getting on the gas, I'll tell you to brake and vice versa. Maybe I'll even put in "go into reverse" at some part.

The "time" lady was pretty seductive.

Even though I was a ride-along whore, I had fun, especially with the Drift KING!

Now I might have to double think the advice I've been getting

hahaha you were faster but I had better lines. It's all about the lines. I guess the winners and losers are separated by 1second

Good time everyone!

Had a fun time driving the wifes 350z for the first time at autox. The car is a lot more agile than that it seems driving around town. Handles very good, easy to control the car with the throttle and weight transfers to get the rear end to step a bit. The only frustrating part was it was very difficult to get all the 350z 300+horse powers to the ground coming out of slow turns. The tires just wanted to spin and make noise, but not propel the car forward. Maybe still this could of been a little of driver error, not feathering the throttle sentively enough but the car is still way more senstive to powering out of turns than the S2000.

The funnest part of the driving the Z was that it was much more easy to have a long sustained high speed drift. Especially coming out of big sweeper on the back of the curse transitioning into the next turn. I could drift the car the whole transition. This was done by carrying a lot of speed through the sweeper slightly breaking and turn slighty at the same time, would get the rear end to step out, I would then be able to step back on the gas catch the slide and drive it controlably all the way through the next turn. This was a very exciting fun portion of the track once i learned to drift it properly.

Overall very impressed by the Z. Think the might still have a slight advantage at autox since its a lighter, and is able to apply power better and stay gripped to the ground better. But I think at the track I might be faster in the Z since it handles preety good, and think you would be able to use all its horsepowers better, and gain a lot of speed on the straights.
