obviously the guys in the Celica and Mustang are tools that know NOTHING about competitve racing.

Have them go lookup the highest level of auto cross, nationwide, SCCA Pro Solo 2, the national championships and see who has won it year in and year out (before the factory modded Solstice GXPs arrived this year). 350Z all over the standings. I'm not saying the Z is the greatest auto-x car ever, I mean it is a porky car, more of a GT track car, but its still in a class far above a celica and mustang.

Come on a FWD celica and a solid rear axle Mustang are making fun of a 350Z at an auto-x, I've have offically seen it all.

If it was a Lotus Elise, MR2, Miata, S2000, Porsche, or some other good autox car they might have a point.

They were just ribbing you. If you'd joked back about their cars you might be friends now.

I wouldn't be worried one bit about this.

One of the things everyone happens to know is, it's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car. Better learn that

EVERY car gets it dude, have a look around here it's civics that are the punch-line to all our jokes... right now there's probably a thread on a civic forum somewhere "I was just on my350z.com and those guys don't pay us any respect, VTEC FTW"

Was the cone being dragged under the car when they were pointing and laughing? I could see the humor in that.

On a high speed course I can see the advantage of a Viper or ZR1 Corvette, but this was autocross where a light, quick turning car like a 240z can dominate.
