one other part, this was in amongst light traffic so maybe the reason why i was able to stay so close was because he was slowing down for other cars where i could keep full throttle, but still when i guy in a viper after playing a little suggests his viper is all stock its a compliment,

Valet guy parked my car among A Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Murciellago, A porsche 911 turbo and a maybach. That was enough of a compliment for me.
Some kid walking by said, "Daddy Is that a Porsche??" "No bud, its a Nissan," Kid: "Well I wanna car like that when I get older!!"

First day I drove my car over to my b1tch of a sister n laws house she said "That thing is bad azzzzzzzz!" She never has anything good to say...
Took it over to my father in laws house (he rebuilds/restores classic hotrods for a living) He said "That is the kind of car I would be proud to own" "I would want mine to look exactly like that too".

this happened to me about a month ago:
I went to PC Richards around 8:30 one night to see if they had a power cord for something and i drive by the front door and park the car. As i'm walking in, i see a young that works there slowly walking and staring at my car so i'm like ok, he likes it and hes gunna eye **** it while i'm inside. So i walk in and there are about 6 employees near the front of the store. While i'm in there looking for this thing, every single employee disapears. I couldn't even ask anyone for help cuz they were gone. Eventually i found one guy hiding in the back so i asked him and turned out they didnt have what i was looking for. So i walk outside to find about 7 of the store employees just standing around my car starting at it like it had just landed from outer space.
When they saw me coming, a couple of them asked me about it and then i left.
A couple nights later i go to the gas station to fill up and as i'm pulling in, theres a guy probably around 22 stading next to his lexus. All of a sudden he turns his head towards my car and drops is jaw
and holds it like that for like a minute straight. Finally he got himself together and commented on my wheels.
I love some of the weird reactions i get.

"Is that a Lamborghini?" - two women in their 50's down the Jersey Shore.
"This thing is like a rocketship" - parent's friend I took for a ride, downshifted into 2nd at about 50 and laid into it.
I was doing a few loops on a popular highway-like road where fast cars usually go on Fri/Sat nights and I pull into a jughandle at the end of the loop where a guy in an E46 M3 vert pulls up next to me with his ridiculously hot girlfriend in the passenger seat. She kept staring at the Z and I was alternating staring at the M3 and her. He goes "she loves your car". I returned the compliment. He was nice enough to give me a race once we straightened out (most M3 guys would pfft at a Z). I ended up beating him by barely half a car but he gave me the thumbs up and said nice race.
I get the I really love your car, the color is nice (CS? really?) a lot too. I can't wait to get an 07 SMB GT, going to get much more in the way of looks then.

Owned the car for two days, driven the car for two days and each day I hear something differnt.
Day 1: from a group of grade school kids passing by, shouting over top of my trance blasting. "hey man nice car"
Day 2: Group of drunk *** college girls stumbing back through my row of townhouses. "ohh my god, I love your car" my reply "thanks, so what are you broads getting into tonight "
