350z's underestimated as just another import
Even when I go to dealership, they ask me what it is..lol
I see about 3-4 Zs everyday only during rush hours after work here in Charlotte. Also a lot of old generation Zs rolling.. Most time I see them, 50% are modded. It is Z heaven

I've burned a lot of other cars in my town, mostly on Stevens Creek Blvd, including a couple C6's on the freeway, Mustangs, Civics, BMW 3-series, Mercedes E and S class, Z3, WRXs, EVO VIII, RSXs, Integras, a Ferarri 308, C4s, X5s, FX, various trucks (why do they even bother?), 300ZXs, Cobalt SSs, Neon SRT-4s, and so on.
Disappointed that I've never had a taker that was an S2000. Have not encountered an M3, either.
The only cars that kept up were the Dodge Charger Hemi and 2006 Mustang GT, and was pretty much wasted by a Z06. Ever since the Z06 schooling, I've been wanting a GT-R.
Point is, I've done my part to get respect for the Z.
And I still get lots of people admiring my car and asking me what kind of car it is.

I can see most the rest of the list, I know there are certain parts of my city where I can smoke almost any car that wants to roll with me, just because I know the twisties there by heart. I could do it blindfolded and exactly what my limits are, it's kind of fun.

my favorite race was a mid life crisis man in his porsche boxster S. rolls up next to me with the top down and listening to some michael bolton BS and just gives me the you wanna go sign. i smoked that piece of crap.

Well both of the C6's were started on freeway on ramps. The first one clearly misshifted I thinik from 3rd to 4th (I'm guessing), I was still in 3rd for a few seconds longer, and that's when I caught up and passed him, and he never passed me again. We hit it over 100 and I could tell he was p***ed. I was surprised, because it was leaving me behind at first, then all of a sudden, for just a second, the gap closed.
The other one, I don't know why he suk'd so bad, he just did.
Don't be afraid to take these cars, but I wouldn't try it from a stoplight. The C6 needs a good driver otherwise, with a cr8ppy driver the Z can and will defeat it from a roll.
The Z06 on the other hand is no joke. It leaves you with the feeling of helplessness and misery. It never stops pulling, and it was playing with me like a chew toy.
Another car I took on but was equal to the Z was a Porsche 911 Carerra S Cabriolet. That was the fastest I've ever driven the Z against another car. I got a big thumbs up from that guy.
I also had a great run with 3 Porsche 924's on a very narrow and very sharp-winding mountain road leading up to an observatory.
