Thumbs down Z32 is not a good Touge Car...

Hey FellaZ...

Guess what? After months of hitting the touge and a little drifting... I have figured out that my Zed (my word, Wes!) is not a good Touge/Drift car. Worn out tires due to too much weight going sideways on the downhill... red-hot brakes (I wish I would have taken pictures)... she is just too damn heavy! I am now retiring the Zed to Street/Highway/Drag application. NO MORE TOUGE MONSTER Z32! I will still represent THE CRAZY 88's and I will now get another car to abuse on the Touge... but my Zed (Bwahahahaha! MY WORD!) will be #1 always! Stay tuned for the ultimate NA Z32!

But big props to all the newbies who are gonna try to Touge Run and Drift that Z32! It's a bitch!!!

Dude I swear to God you made this EXACT same post somewhere else... Maybe in the drifting section.

Damn or I'm crazy?

But props to you for doing something I cant... Drift a Zed... Which is my word

?? I really dont think its that hard. Actually I think its alot easier to drift than some other popular cars with less power. Dont you drive a 2+2 though?

My friend tried to drift his Z31, it actually worked out fairly well because the Z31 is a bit lighter than the Z32.

Re: Z32 is not a good Touge Car...

I bet I could get a bit 'o' drift on...gotta try that soon...been a while. Dunno how well it would work, though...my tires are really sticky. I looked at the inside of my door today and I saw what I THINK was the car's weight...said 3700 something...I was like...eh...no. Didn't pay much attention cuz today was crazy (I drove through hell today on the way to SC...whee...SC...) so I'll have to look again later. It must have been in KG.

Easy? Have you ever tried to link drifts with a Zed? Not saying it can't be done... more props to whomever can (see above pic). Yes. I have a 2+2 with AT... not the best set-up for drift, but I had just got rid of my 240sx Coupe and was going through withdrawals... It's all out of my system now!

I'm noy sure what is says... probably: OH-SHIT!!!! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A Z32 DRIFT?????????????? Someone told me that there is also another Black Z32 in that issue that has an SR20DET in it... DORIFTO style! As for the wing... more stability at high speed drift...

Yes... I understand the principle of downforce, but why didnt he remove the stock wing, that seems like a pretty half ass effort for a pro drift car

It's weird... but that is not the first Zed with a 'double' wing that I have seen like that in Japanese mags... I dunno... It's weird. Is there a raeson???

Who said I was speaking for all Z32's, lop? Sorry I did not mean to offend the Dori-Kin of Z32's here... 'cus obviously you are the shit! Answer my question. Have you ever connected drifts with your Z32, Mr. Drift King? Probably not! Ask anyone around! The Z32 is not the ideal drift car! PERIOD! Yes, it can be done... and I already said that! And once again: BIG PROPS TO ANY WHO DRIFT THIS BEAST... SEE ABOVE PIC...

Geeezzzzzus.....
