Hi all,

I know this is a wild request, but since NO dealers near me allow test drives, and I'm still in the market for a manual Performance or Sport, here's my request. If anyone local in SoCal OC, IE, LA counties has such a configured Z I'd like to feel the driving dynamics just for a very short, e.g. around the block, gentle drive only I promise. We can swap drives with my Tesla Model Y, lifted Gladiator, or 987 Cayman S AND I'll buy lunch. How's that?

Just a thought, let me know, DM me directly, THANKS!!

You could try BeDistinct on IG. He's big on social media and lives in that area.
Hahha his car is trickedddd out!
Don't think it would be anywhere near a genuine stock feel.


jhz400z may be worth a try?
I think he's in SoCal area

Hop on Turo! - Yeah you'll pay $100-200 for a day of driving but IMO it's worth it.

EDIT: There is one RZ34 on Turo and it's an A/T Proto Spec in Las Vegas.....damn

@trackratZ if you decided to toy with the dark side and want to test out a Supra instead, just let me know! Only downside is that it is no where even close to stock.... or maybe thats a plus?

Awesome stable! If only closer I would buy lunch AND dinner đź‘Ť :) Sometime this year I will venture out across the US to visit my son in FL with my Model Y, exciting to map out Superchargers along the way. Up and down the west coast is a piece of cake!

Its a 21, so auto was the only option at the time. Wouldnt sell it for a manual though. Its even better now that I tuned the trans. Seriously the best auto trans out there.

If you don't mind a trip to NH when the snow is gone in about 4 months, you can test my not-quite-stock car.

Cool offer from across the country! What mods have you done? When I do get mine, will also upgrade a bit - exhaust, tune, brakes, suspension....it won't be a commuter;)
