Being in north Texas, I’ll be headed south to the Twisted Sisters and Devil’s Backbone. The Twisted Sisters - Ride Texas

Where will you be headed to after taking delivery of a new Nissan Z?

For me it will be the Tail of the Dragon.

I'll probably make a trip to Lake Tahoe when I do manage to get the car. I've always been using an SUV for that trip just to be on the safe side but every time we go, it never snows--just moist weather. I'll bet dealer markups are going to be off the charts. All the more to be saving up money.

TBH, I will take some time getting used to the Z's driving dynamics and learning its limits. Of course that won't guarantee anything come time to take on the dragon but I also won't be an idiot while on it.

first time i ever went up there I was in my 2003 Touring Z without the brembos and I trail braked so bad because I had never been up the dragon and I caught them on fire and they were smoking at that scenic pull over towards the end thats just life lessons you gotta learn yourself. I made it into Nissan sport magazine on that run with this pic!

I had a few Zdayz buddies go off. 2 in Zs and one totaled a GTR



I think I have one of the best dragon stories ever ...that I think its ok to tell now that 13 years has past... I was riding shotgun in a 2008 GTR preproduction car test car ( only one in the US I think at the time and it might be the same silver one sitting down the the Nissan Heritage Museum if that one is LHD? @DAN_PASSE ?

so anyways I was with a Nissan Rep that brought the car out....who I believe works for the company outside the US now. We might have been flexing Godzillas muscles a little blowing past some guys in Zs and may or may not have gotten pulled over by a park ranger and I may or may not have had to play it cool and go through the glove compartment looking through all types of top secret paper work to try to find a registration that didnt exist good times

For my first trip. I will probably take it a day trip to the Blue ridge parkway for some easy break in miles and scenic photos

 

[ZedSled]

First trip will be to AMS. I have it all planned out. Will take delivery. Drive around all day. And next day. Around the twisties here. To break it in. And drive 330 miles to AMS. Looking to get it there right at 1k miles

I have only had 1 car that I ever specifically took on a road trip to hoon, and that was my 2016 GTI DSG with JB4 tuner. We took it to CA Highway 1 and a bunch of crazy roads in AZ I know of, and man it was wayy too much fun. I'd probably re-do that trip in the Z. I currently have a Q60 and TBH it's not much fun at all in the twisties, so I haven't done a hoon trip since my GTI.

I'd also like to try a track event in the Z, I've never done that before, but I don't know where to go in the Seattle area (especially since it rains a lot here).

There's some good back roads not too far near my place that have some good twistys and a couple of straight where I can really let loose. It's not glamorous but it's where I feel the most comfortable breaking the car in.

Anyone planning to hit up these L.A. Canyon roads?
