its not loaner thats for sure its 6MT.

 

Isn't there a bit too much negative camber in the rears for it to be stock height?

 

That crazy driving, but ya gotta give the guy credit, he is good, if that were mean i'd put it into a wall LOL

The sedans handle pretty good, its decent.

 

Sport Package wheels. Doubt it was a loaner.

 

Yep. The sedan can handle very good. Truthfully because its a longer wheel base its not as snappy loosing the rear end so its easier to control at its limits unlike the 350z. We have gone on hill country cruises and another friend with a 350z and myself were the fastest cars of the bunch on the cruise.

 

You don't "gotta give that guy credit" for anything.
There was no skill involved in toasting his tires and driving like that in a residential neighbourhood.
You're way too easily impressed.

Mom is so going to wonder where here tires went. (I used to do this kind of stuff when I was 16 also, but it was in a 1968 AMC Rebel station wagon )

 

heh

 

Well geez. Arent you snappy.
ya give him credit, because i dont think you could pull an average joe off the street and let him drive like that. Thats some good driving in my book, even better if he wasent on public streets.
Dont get that way. its rude.

 

He went around a turn fast, getting the rearend loose well after the exit of the turn. It's not like he was drifting or something. With that said, I do like seing a sedan getting loose.

BTW, I've found a Neon that must be a good match for your sister's boyfriend's STi. It was running extremely rich and shooting a fireball out of the tail-pipe as well.

 

was that your first new car?

 

No, first car (not new) was my Grannie's 1961 Mercury Meteor 2dr, 289 2 bbl, with a 2 speed auto and under dash AC (lotta two's there)

Then:
1969 Fiat 850 Spider
1965 MGB
1969 Chevy Impala

The Rebel was my Moms car. It was way cool 343 ci 2 bbl, 3 spd auto, air. But the best was the seats. Big divided bench seat that, if you did it just right, would lay down in 1 second to a double bed! Oh the Pu$$y wagon that was.

 

Yeah, some of his corners were really rather lame. Power-on oversteer isn't exactly hard to get.

However, when I was watching the doughnuts, you know what I thought?

"Stupid VLSD".

Yep. A 2004 6MT has a VLSD, but you could see the diff was totally overwhelmed while doing the doughnuts and was spinning the inside tire non-stop. I wish they would have thrown in a Quaife-style diff in the G35s and 350Zs.

please go do your homework.
its not that hard to do that.....fun!! but not hard.
i feel sorry for his tires though..hes doing that on the rough pavement.

 

Stock for stock, Coupe Handling > Sedan Handling big time!

How do I know? I've tracked both. Sedan suspension is noticeably softer than the coupe. Stock sedan tires are pretty much junk on dry or wet. It's easier to slide a sedan through the corner though, the softer springs and damper makes it easier to weight shifting.
