Highway 9 350Z and Evo

My friends took me for a ride in their rice burners. I don't like foreign cars, but I had a hella good time.

Oh those outside shots with the camera Jimmy! Lanyard around your wrist I hope. Looks like there are steep drop offs past the guardrails? Bottoming out? A neighbor let me drive their 350 Z last year, I was pretty impressed with the grace and speed of the car, but yes, I honestly missed the V-8 rumble sounds. Too old-school I guess times!

@spikedpunk Surprisingly no lanyard, just holding it two handed! It was actually taken on my android phone hahaha. This is a car that I helped turn in to a real performer, he had the coil-overs installed then brought it over and I lowered it for him. It's inspired me to build a handling machine someday actually! But obviously mine will be American made and American powered. No import for me!

@RiotSk8Team666 Oh yes, that's correct, you have an Android. Looks like you did a nice job with this car to help it handle. Sammy handles very well with what I did to him (I know you get first dibs on the lowered spindles should I decide to change them but I think they are staying) including the fat sway bars, air-lift air bags and polyurethane components in the bushing. Oh, the boxed in/reinforced upper and lower rear control arms add a lot. For big cars that weigh 5000 lbs, they can handle!

@spikedpunk That was definitely one of the selling points of them, was that they don't feel like they handle like a huge wagon. They're nearly as nimble as a Cutlass!

@RiotSk8Team666 The statement is very true. Back in the day, engineers felt they were the best handling wagons out of all the offerings. These cars over steer if you have a nice enough engine and the fact they are tail heavy by nature. But for the average driver or one looking to get around at a more then normal spirited pace, then these were the way to go.
