Not so much in my Z but in my old MR2 turbo I used to get people wanting to race me all the time.
One night a bunch of guys in a crappy v8 holden (I live in Australia) kept sitting on my *** as I was driving through traffic and generally driving dangerously. At one stage they pulled in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes to stop them from hitting me. This went on for ages because whenever I slowed down hoping they would just keep going and quit bugging me but they would just slow down and pull up next to me. Finally I saw an opening and punched it and left them for dead then settled back into driving home at my normal relaxed pace. They then spent the next 10 minutes ducking and weaving to catch up.
This went on for about an hour. Are these people put on the earth to **** everyone off or is it just a small ***** thing? They give people that genuinely love cars a bad name because people generally associate petrol heads ********* like them

ugh racing
I usually don't get dragged into a race much. If i do, they're usually under 200hp drivers such as eclipse 
(fast and furious) and honda's. Honda's are tricky cars, cuz u just dont know when a honda prolly has a k-20 or high b series motor. I'm not a honda hater, i will actually race a honda if i feel they have a strong motor but other then that, it's just a waste of gas. When a eclipse tries to race me, i just laugh and drive off, i hate those cars with a passion, i just want to blow up every single eclipse out there with a ricer body kit and a noise cannon exhaust, and also shoot the driver (yes, I hate them very much). I only raced two cars during my 1 year and a Z driver and that was a evo8 (couldn't really say it was much of a race) and a SRT-4 which i killed badly and also laughed to my self cuz
he called me out and happily broke his spirits

I dont ever race for $$$$ anymore. Ive been "on the scene" for years, remember V-Street? Metro? Northern Pkwy? Ritchie Hwy? Been there, done all that. Ive been in fights over fair wins, had people run off with the "purse", seen guns being pulled, its nasty. People are dishonest, when they lose they wont pay or will look for a way out. I used to be out all the time in my old car, now I go out every once in a while to pick on the fastest guys out
Its simply not worth it....race for FUN, or dont race at all!!!!!

I had a Cayman "wait" for me on the freeway but after showing I wasn't going to run he just speeds off. My tinted windows make it that much easier to ignore people nowadays.

I still remembered these 2 s2000's with built engines and turbos racing behind me coming from behind. Loud as a motherf'er. One of them was pulling 500hp, so I was told. I almost went into the other lane because they didnt sound like s2000's. I caught up to one of them and revved, then gave thumbs up. He asked me if i was turbo'd also haha. I told him the truth though. I told him its just modded but no turbo. The car just sounds aggressive. That's when he told me the details of the cars. WOW is all I can say. Really cool dudes too.

driving my friend home last night:
she turns to me "um i think that guy is reving at you or something?!?"
i turn to see and sure enough it was some crack white boy in a rustang signaling me that he wants to run.

i get all kinds of things, from kids in their lifted trucks giving me the thumbs down, to kids in parking lots in their friends trucks giving me the thumbs down. there seems to be so much hate. the last time i got provoked was by a g35, and it was my girlfriend.
and you think the Z gets attention to race? try in an EVO. you get all kinds of crap and people even honk at you for no reason. i get little jdm honda fanboys revving all the time. bikes always flying past me doing wheelies. etc. if you drive a moderately fast car, your going to get hate
