I don't know what it is but I have driven through some of the worst of storms and I have yet to slide off the road due to hydroplane (hopefully I don't jynx myself). Winter on the other hand though...

I've never hydroplaned either. But no matter how safe you drive, we will always share the road with idiots. That's how my old 6ga got totaled. A woman was speeding in a thunderstorm, hydroplaned, and hit me on my drivers side. I was going like 5 under the speed limit. That's just the ****ty side of life. It happens.

When my old 6ga went into the shop 2 or 3 times when I was in high school, I had to drive my moms 7th gen around. I ****ing hate that ****ty *** grandma car... it's so touchy!! the brake pedal is just way too touchy for my tastes. I mean I don't want to press it halfway down until it starts to work like my dad's truck, but it was so sensitive. It was nice on the inside, but it just didn't "feel" like mine.

My mom has a 7th gen too, I know exactly what you mean about the brakes :squintrun:

IS-F w/ paddles > 8th gen w/ paddles

IS-F=beast

That's not even a fair comparison :lawl:

Anyone who would rather have a 6GA (auto) over an auto Z convertible is on drugs. for real.

Now that I've gotten used to standard, I drove automatic yesterday and I felt like my left leg and right arm was tensing up, felt like it needed to do something LOL can no longer drive automatic without it feeling weird - now I know what people meant by "you haven't driven until you drive stick" *nods* lol

OP - I know EXACTLY what you mean - I'd drive my 6ga over the Z any day, I don't like that car imo, heh...went through transmission problems twice so I just did the swap...Lols you should look into it, it's fun ^_^ when I do heavy modifications to my car, sometimes I don't have the car for almost a month, I nearly died. lol

Yeah I woke up this morning and looked at my keys and remembered my car isn't here. I just imagine their having a great time getting that thing onto their lifts. I brought it in to my tech and he didn't realize how low it was and he was going to town on bumps! But I've considered a 6speed swap so many times I wanna find a J35 to mate it too also and I'm not good with harness work, the list just goes on lol.
