770 miles in half a day

[PalmerWMD]

Driven with 1994 Q45t, arrived more rested that some might think.

Fred..

PS: you havent lived until you tossed a 4000 lb sedan at 100 mph, thru the construction switchbacks mile after mile.

[elwesso]

I guess I've lived then!!

I wouldnt do it in any other car!!!

I did that in my 3000 when I was coming back from florida...man was that fun.

I wish I could afford a Q (not just the car...but the tremendous amounts of gas for that car)

[Mr1der]

Fred, there weren't workers present were there?

come on now, drive your age:)

[PalmerWMD]

22.5 gallon fuel tank.

[AZhitman]

AWESOME!

Definitely a fun drive... That Q is JUST the car to do it in!

I've traversed 2500 miles in 32 hours. Switched off with a friend of course and stopped only for gas and food. Long drives can be fun.

[BB Turbo]

Actually, I have lived, done it multiple times in the ol' Cadillac STS About 4 different times (from Atlanta to Houston, about 850 miles) in the Caddy at least. (15 times altogether in other vehicles)

A not so fun Drive:Atlanta GA to Rio Verde, San Luis Potosi, MexicoClose to 3k miles in Under 48 hrs:( (done that 5 times in different vehicles)

[w1ngzer0]

1400 in less then 24 hrs is always fun ..... not really

Fred, that's impressive. That's averaging 64 mph including stops.How much did your gas mileage dip?

C-KwiK, Id say you own the current Nissan land speed record. That averaging 78 mph. That's cookin'

I drove from Hundred, WV, to San Antonio, TX, in 26 hours straight through, and that included several hours of traveling on ice and snow on all season tires. In an 89 240 sx with 2.5" catback.

I guess you're working off the the idea that "half a day" meant 12 hours? I wouldn't be surprised it he was closer to 8 to 10 hours.

I did 2 runs the end of July 649.4 from CIncy to South GA in 10 hours, inculding losing about 45 minutes in ATL (near the AMS) due to standing traffic. I made the run back, from Columbus (90 miles SW of ATL) about 600 (maybe fewer) miles in 8.5 hours including sitting down to eat for 30 minutes or more.

It's funny how the speedo points straight up at 80 and just over 2500rpms.

[Scorch]

girlfriend had a party in redding, CA at around 8 pm(havnt seen her in weeks). i got off work in portland at 2:30. kept the z at 5 grand rpm the entire way in 5th, made it in 5 and a half hours( 400 miles) .. heat on full blast, in the summer...man, you could feel the heat comming off the car from 10 feet away.first and only time ive gotten a ticket... 88 in a 65 :P

[prigo]

Dude, only 770? Weak.

[PalmerWMD]

Dude I was driving by myself and had to stop for gas too, for 12 hours thats not too shabby, I thought it was pretty hard core, and I just finished teh reverse trip only 36 hours later.

Fred..

[rousie13]

I get to make a 440 mile trip in a week.....not too far, but still not going to be fun by myself.

It helps that some moron who cut me off in an eclipse got pissed off and took off. I let him pull ahead about a 1/4 mile and trailed him doin a little over 100 for a while. I figure if I see his brake lights go on, it's a pretty good indication that I should brake too. My friend was sleeping at the time so he had no idea except when I pulled off for gas he looked at the map and was confused how we got there so quickly from our last stop. While noone else would lead me going that fast, I tried to look for the speeders and trail them at a distance. I maintained 90 most of the time that I drove.

I claim fame to driving from Mankato, MN to Marietta, GA in 15 1/2 hours, by myself. I've also done Marietta, GA to Lancaster, CA in 40 hours (almost to the minute) by myself...straight through.

Impressive.....what the hell were you taking to go that long straight through??

[EZcheese15]

Caffeine....

I actually slept probably 7 or 8 hours at rest areas on that run. I bet it actually only took about 32 hours of actual driving, but I factor sleep in just like any other stops. I left on a Tues night about 6pm EST and got there about 7am PST on Thurs morning. I actually did this only a couple months ago. There is another thread somewhere in here about how I went to the national SE-R convention this year....I talked about driving there in that thread.

Hahaha, you guys should see me when I work my Courier job at night....

*zooooooooom*

That's what set Infiniti apart. I'd do it in a heart beat in the J. The J30t is right in her element at that speed. Perfect RPMs and suspension.

[flyfishz]

I started in Colorado at 8:30am Saturday and stopped in Cali at 2:30AM Sunday 1200 miles 18 hours 4 gas stops.

No releif driver I did it all with 3 kids and my wife in the car.

Piece of cake. Coulda gone 300 more no prob.
