darkoptics Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just got back from a mini roadtrip in the US back in the zed after 4 weeks break and couldnt believe how fast it feels, you get used to driving automatic in the us too quickly - its good to be back on the right (left) side of the road although $10 of fuel added 100 miles on the car computer - not sure £7.50 would get you 10 miles here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy75 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Nice where'd you go? I need to arrange a 2 or 3 week break doing the same in May for my 10th anniversary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 My zed felt positively slow after a burnt orange hemi engine experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Ive always said the best way to make your car quicker is to drive some shed for a few weeks, then get back into it. I had the same feeling earlier in the year when I hadnt riden my R1 for about 6 months due to blowing the gearbox up on it. I fitted a new gear box and tuned it back up myself, then took it for a spin and my god I left a brown smoke trail for miles. Having a new back tyre didnt help as it was wheel spinning at 120mph and I had to hang over the front bars in the 1st 3 gears just to try and keep the front wheel on the ground. Must have took me about 2 hours and 20 smokes to calm down afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkoptics Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 My trip was to Detroit and Vegas (quite a few 350's there) both by plane then driving round Utah and Wyoming where every other vehicle was a F150 finished off in Yellowstone which is absolutely stunning, would highly recommend it there (although i can see that it would get very tedious in summer - the number of jams that were caused by people thinking they saw a bear, and then people stopping to see what those people were looking at - even in low season it was a bit frustrating... and we didnt see any bears!)
