I think there should be a secret wave for this site. Like if everyone does the "gnarly, hang ten" hand motion or something like that, you'll know its a poster on my350z.com. and if the other driver doesn't know what you are doing, it would be pretty funny for them, so it's a win/win.

LOL perfect defintion
I've only been able to get two reactions from fellow Z drivers. One was a wave in heavy traffic from a dude in a dude in a Interlago's Fire (sp?) Z and the other was a WOT pull together under a bridge followed by a honk and a thumbs up. (It was the sickest sounding thing I've heard in a while 
)
I have received a lot of attention from non Z drivers though. Like from a Pontiac Sunfire that was apparently trying to race me, but I didn't realize it b/c he was so slow... lol. The only reason I found out he was trying to race was at the next light when he rolled down his window and said "DAMN DUDE! That thing is fast, I couldn't even keep up!" *shrug*

most Z's in the bay area think they're waaaaay to cool to acknowledge another one. the car got too accessible for fruitcakes to drive. I get way more attention from freakin corvette owners.
so i have pretty much given up even trying

from what i read on this forum at least some of the ppl will actually say whats up or something if they are from any other part of the country.

i dont try every single one. always check to see for parts and age of the driver. but even then fruitcakes are still present.
I prolly try for like one out of every 25-30, and maybe get 2 for every ten times i try to wave. I pretty much stop givin a **** too.

If it's a noticably modded Z, you can tell the driver is an enthusiast and is probably checking out your Z also. I'll usually give them a nod, because you know they'll respond. Other than that, I just keep to myself..
50% of the time I get ignored. 50% I don't. Yesterday, I merged onto the highway right behind another Daytona, the guy was cool and waved at me immediately - stuck his hand out of the window and everything.
Other times, some Zs are so frigin tinted I can't even tell who's doing what there.
