Default S Driving Impressions

Ok a little background. I recently added an S to the stable. I have not had a chance to push the S up until this weekend when some friends and I were finalizing the ZDayz (350z Event) at Tail of the Dragon. I drove the S from Overland Park KS to Atl GA where I met up with some friends. From Atl we went to Fontana Village. The S is a comfortable car, very worth of long drives.



At the Dragon I was impressed with the S. Even though I have a stock S, it handled, braked, and accelerated very nicely. I found the S to be a very predictable car. I felt in control the whole time (probably because I didn't pus it as hard as I could )

Thumbs up on the S, I have a new respect for the car.

Here is a short video of a run on the Dragon. Ahhh springtime is here boys and girls time to go out and enjoy the S, god knows I did:

Awesome vid, that looks like an awesome run

How did you mount the camera? Looks ontop the of the roof, and did you have the top down or up?

Camera is on the front windshield. Top was down.

Front winshield turned out to be a better loation than the trunk mount (as pictured above). On the windshield you could really hear the engine scream!

Where do you have fun roads like that? I swear, its hard to find fun roads around here. if they are twisty, they are all screwed up and cracked so its too bumpy. grr.... suggestions for a Wisconsinite?

Sweet! I can't wait for the WTD 05!!!
BTW, I would lose that front bra. Especially on a black car. You will end up fading the shade of color between covered and uncovered area and scratches around the edge line of the bra. Not a good thing.
