this is not to say z owners try to race other cars? i have a z and a 6.0 gto, and in the goat i just laugh at a z when they try to race....i think z drivers are some of the worst instagators (sp?) when it comes to the road, almost as bad as v6 mustang drivers

thought i had heard it all in this post.....until today. driving 20 over on I-10 between San Antonio and Houston and this Suburban comes up on my tail. I pass a couple of 18 wheelers and then pull over to let the Suburban pass. This guy pull up beside me and gives three taps of the horn and wants to race...WTF? A suburban??? Maybe he had a drop-in K&N or something?

the only people that try to race me are other 350z/g35 drivers. they pull up next to me and i give the wave. and they just look at me like wtf my car is better than yours why are you waving at me. and then they speed off when i dont want to race them and go in and out of traffic to show off to me that he is a dumbass

This past summer i drove from my house in Boston to Virgina to ship my z overseas on I95. on that day alone i had no less then 5 people try to race me. most notable was a impala ss that paced me for miles and the kept taunting me by pacing me then flooring it. he was so caught up that he didnt see the cop chillin on the side of the road waitin for his azz to speed pass him....lol

In two years only two people wanted to race...
Got spanked by a crappy looking 88 'stang on the highway (could hear his sc under the hood once we stomped on it and his gears were pretty short) plus I think he was squeezin cause the first two times I pulled on him slightly. Or maybe he was just playin the first two times, but the third time, he pulled by a long-shot and his exhaust was stanky! (I had a passenger too, and stang was solo)
Then on an expressway, I hung with a modified SRT-4. (25-70 mph runs) a few times. I had the wife with me and a full tank of gas. He was solo and had at least an exhaust, a crazy loud BOV, and pilar guages. He was PISSED that I was hanging with him - highly agitated lol. It really was dead-even. he wanted to keep going again and again and again, but I ignored him after that and he kept revving his car at me until I turned off.
But that's it. I get more challenges from them Dodge "hemi" pick-up truck drivers and acura TL/RL drivers
whatever!
