I normally flash the headlights or throw a wave. Sometimes I get a return.

funny.....whenever another Z driver saw me coming they either slow down change lanes and let me pass or sped up so that i wouldn't be able to check them out. Some Z driver don't like to be recognized i guess.

I'm not sure about the US, or Europe, but in Canada, a ""flicker, or a light signal"" usually means ""Cops//speedtrap"" comming your way.....

I am surprised i have been getting many thumbs up from people on the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway =) I sure will return the favor whenever I can. It feels really good.
Glad to here it. I wave all the time in Jersey and rarely get a wave back.

I dont to just any Z, simply because most Z owners around here just stare at my car. Of course if they are cool and seem nice I will, or after they have I always do. I always give a thumbs up after some fool tries to race me and I smoke em. Then they usually pull back up with a shocked face and a thumbs up.....

most Z owners in Chicago aren't enthusiasts so they usually don't even look over at me...they're usually middle aged men or women that just wanted a nice car and don't want to associate with the tuner crowd...they think i'm too young and scary or something...some people are cool with the thumbs up, but most i've encountered don't even look over

The only time I remember getting a wave back was when I saw a guy in a 300ZX TT from a local Z club out here. Other than that I haven't seen any other actual enthusiasts...it sucks.

Funny that I'm always waving at other Z owners, buy they always never seem to notice. S2000's, RX8, and even Vette owners heads turn when I go by, but Z owners are eyes straight ahead with no clue that someone in another Z went by waving at them. Odd.

I always wave or give the thumbs up. I get the return about 50% of the time. I'm also usually ignored by the G owners though.

Get this back in Dec 05, my hubby and I had almost the same darn experience, A yellow Z comes behind us and tailgates, mabey 3ft to rear, so I pull away but have to slow down at an intersection and this punk changes into the left comes flying by just missing a truck in front of him and cuts into our lane and flys thru the intersection after it had just turned red Some people shouldnt be allowed to drive let alone a Z.

But on topic? Since having the Z for exactly 1 year and 5 days. Total waves or responses etc.. ***5***

This guy out here I waved twice and all I got back was a silly smile while his head remained straight forward similar to "I'm above waving to people I don't know just because we drive the same car." Same color too. Brickyards out here are scace. I do remember one guy in a Leman's Sunset almost jumped out his Z window waving back and smiling. That was cool.
