How often do people mess with you because you drive a Z? Stuff like, people always taking the pole at a stop light just to rev at you, or people pulling along side, pacing you. I save the fun for weekend nights, not on my way to work

Im getting ready to buy one and it will be my first sports car thats not a sleeper (Had a ford Tbird SC 5 years back.)

It happens to me occasionally, on a somewhat frequent basis.

Just a few days ago I was leaving a convenience store. As I was getting back in my car I noticed there was a honda parked next to me with two teenagers inside. I got in my car, and as I backed out the kid driving decided to floor it and rev the engine to redline. The other kid turned around to see my reaction. I just busted out laughing and he started laughing too.

About a year ago, at the same store, I was leaving and some kid in a turboed AWD car (can't remember exactly what it was) had pulled in and then quickly pulled out to chase me down for a race. We ran a few times from a roll and I destroyed him. Then we did a dig and I waited for him to take the jump. He almost instantly jumped out about 2 car lengths and I still passed him by 60mph. He let off the gas right before I passed so he could pretend like he won. I flew by and never looked back, lol.

About a week ago I had a guy in shorts, no shoes, no shirt, no helmet, plenty of tattoos, on POS motorcycle pass me in a no passing zone without bothering to change lanes. He was just trying to be cute and see how close he could get to me without actually hitting me. Had I been in a "normal" car I seriously doubt he would have performed such a stunt.

Then you have the dime a dozen mustang GT's who try to pick on you. If you do actually decide to race, chances are very great that you will win, especially with the older 99-04's(haven't lost to one yet, modded or not). Be warned: It might cause the driver to throw a complete temper tantrum because he lost and start driving wrecklessly and erratic. It's happened to me more than once. Experiences like that made me reconsider even ackowledging the inferior GT's.

All in all I've had a lot of cars instigate races. In two years, I lost count a long time ago.

I just got harassed by a 01-04 Mustang not sure what year but it was a Mach 1. He rolled me up and smoked me, I couldn't beleive it. I did not hear a SC or Turbo anyone know if the Mach 1's are faster.

I've had at least 12 people wanting to race me since i bought the car (about 1 months ago)..its crazy. My previous car was a 01.5 audi s4 and ive only raced about 10 people in that car in 2 years of ownership. Before that i had 2 300zxTT and maybe a handful of races w/ that.

Mach I's are faster then the stock GT.

My biggest pet peeve are the a$$hole Honda owners. They come up along side you with their mufflers with the holes in them and harass you. I had one idiot ride my tail and not let go. I got so pissed I just dropped gears and took off, and of course the idot starst chasing me. As soon as I got a little space between us I changed lanes and hit the brakes causing him to shoot past me. At this point I rode HIS bumper and chased him for about a half mile before slowing down and letting him go. Let's face it having a Z has a burden of responsibility attached. WE should decide when and if we will use the power our vehicle has.

I just bought my 06z a week and a half ago and this guy i work with has a supercharged ion and he's talkin all kinds of noise. I told him to wait till i hit about 1k miles and its on. I think i can take him even though im stock, he ran a 13.9 at the track. Either way when its all said and done even if he wins, im driving home in a 350z and he drives a saturn

Nobody except other Z/G owners have bothered me, except for the occasional VW owner.
