Default Response To Oncoming 350Zs??

So whenever I see Zs I usually slow down to roll with them, or if they are coming from the other side I high beam them!!! Some of the younger crowd beam back and the ones who are older are like WTF lol. Do you guys do that??

Around here, high beams mean the gendarmes have a radar set up ahead of the oncoming. Maybe that's why you get the WTF...

I wave or flash the hazards. Usually get stares...if it's a true Nissan enthusiast I'll get a wave. The best are the waves from other sports car owners (I've gotten waves from vette and viper owners...some motorcycles too) and older Z models!! That's the best!

Here in Hawaii I do the same.. I slow down and roll with them. One time I cruised at 80 mph with another z on the freeway it was great cuz neither him or I showed off taking off like ricers racing to prove something we just cruised and at my exit I revved at him waving bye and he did the same. I felt great about the car but yeah not every one does it.. I wish they did though.. Maybe one day we can use all 6 lanes doing the speed limit. Whos gonna tell us ****, cops can't and if they ama burn my tires in front of city hall.

Flashing the headlights generally means there's a cop or a speedtrap ahead... but it should be obvious if it's another Z. A flash of the hazards will do the trick too.

Kinda sad, but where I live I get more recognition from other cars or older Z's. It's sad when most of the Z's you see have old people driving who could care less, and the few Z's driven by the younger crowd are obviously pissed you're stealing their thunder.

No sweat off my back, lol.

50's and higher? lol, it's all good. The Z is for everybody. It's kinda cool to see the older crowd enjoying the car too.

Well, for one example. On my way to work in the morning, occasionally I cross paths with another ss Z. His windows are completely mobbed, and the rims&rubber look like he was going for some sort of monster truck look (worst wheel setup I have ever seen on a Z). The first time I saw him I was like, ah cool, another Z! He was coming up from behind. I maintained speed and was hoping he would pace me, and as soon as he got close he floored it and never let up. I'm sitting there thinking to myself, what an imbecile. Every time I see him he tries to do the same exact thing, and I don't know why. It's funny when traffic is thick and he gets stuck behind someone and I don't. I just laugh at him and go about my merry little way.

Another example, a lot of the younger guys I see at stop lights will look like they're pissed at the world or just don't want to acknowledge someone else is driving their car. They will notice me and completely look the other way and never look back. It's kinda pathetic but it doesn't really bother me. I think it's kinda funny some people are so insecure.

I just wave. I get highbeams and hazards though.

I had some guy in a Neon that has a color similar to mine full on lean out of his car and wave at me. That was a little odd.

I wave if a 2 laner or blink the lights in I'm on a bigger highway.

If there is a ton of traffic I won't do either...

I waved at a DB on my way into work this morning and got nothing.

One time I saw a Young Z driver like my self, I droped it to 3rd and guned it and you know the sick sound and he did the same exact thing on the other side of the High way and we both passed each other it made this echoing sound. Oh my god, I just had my first semi orgasm that day. I was screaming and the whole drive home I was driving above 100Miles cause it was the best enjoyable day of my life. Wow did that feel good. We ownd that High Way like no other!!! Everyone pissed themselves. Z power 4lyfe mangs.
