350z's underestimated as just another import
 

I don't about the rest of you, but where I live Z's are a rare breed, you'll be lucky to see 1 a month, besides mine of course.I found out that becuase their a rare car their also underestimated by a lot of other drivers as just being another 4-cylinder import, which can actually turn out to be kinda fun in the end.

So anyways, i was sitting at a stop light and something like an 06' malibu SS pulls up besides me and the driver asks me if i think my cars got anything, or something stupid like that, I responded "you're kidding right",and the light turns green, he squeek's his tires, and away I was and all I see are his headlights in my review mirror, and another one bites the dust.

I'm just curious if something like this has ever happened to you and what type of car the person was driving, just to see how much people underestimate Z's.

Z's are way too common here in socal for anything like that :icon8:

my neighbors think i drive some sort of exotic...and then i tell them it's a nissan and they're amazed like i'm some sort of magician or some crap...

ahahaha i know man, here in michigan, its motor city man, all u see is domestic. every other dude has a mustang and most of the kiddies that like cars drive civics or neons lol... so as you can see, the z is a rare breed here. too bad there is no one my age with a Z :(

there are so many 350z's in orange county. they are mostly driven by middle aged business men/women.

ok, anyone around age 20 in a suburb of detroit with a Z. im in sterling heights. if anything all u see is cadilacs and bmw's. anything classy.

Even though Zs are a dime a dozen here, some people just don't keep up with imports. I visited a friend of mine at her house once and her parents looked out the window and said "oh my god, who's pretty porsche is that in the front of our house?"

Over here a lot of domestics underestimate the Z.

I just moved from Royal Oak out here to Bellevue. They're definitely a rare breed out there, the Z.

There's not many Z here in KC either, people usually look at my car when i drive

lmao I love that response

I had a guy in an older audi S4 (with 2 passengers mind you) try to get cute with me one day.... muscling around like he had a fast car.... he really thought he was going to take me out. After I encouraged him to take the hit from a roll... I proceeded to put a buslength on him.... lol getting squirrelly when you hit third is always a good show from behind... Afterwards I rolled my window down and he asked "OK! what all have you done???" I say Nothin'... To which he literally yells at me "BULLSHT!!!!!!" and mumbles to his passengers "thats such bullsht" ... 2 passengers and a slower car to begin with... wtf do you expect. :rolleyes:

I know they slow...but didn't know they're that slow...

my buddy has an s4, that biatch is FAST

modded 02mitsubishi eclipse GT beats a Z?...or an acura RSX?..i still dont know d full capacities of my Z.....its a month old car...thnks..

It wasn't the newer style.... it was the B5 S4. 250hp 3600lbs + 340lbs in passengers.... AWD certainly didn't do him any favors from a roll either. I actually had a K&N drop in, no spare/tools... a gutted rear interior... and a completely empty tank of gas. He didn't know what he was in for...and it was a raping indeed. :)

It must have been a stock S4 because properly chipped with a few mods they can be very fast.

LOL the first time i picked up my GF from her house her mom saw me pull up. she went is side and ask my GF if that was me in the car becuase they dont know anyone who drives a nice car like the Z. lol

I agree.. But this one obviously wasn't chipped... and even if he was making 330 at the crank I still would have beat him in this scenario... it certainly wouldnt have been by a buslength though. :icon38:

Needless to say I bet he has a chip now... or doesn't sleep on/race Z's anymore.. ;)

Z's are fairly common were I'm at, but not as common as those damn srt-4's are the crazy kids that "pilot" them!
