Funny stories in your 350z!!!!
I got the funniest of all, you guys bickering back and forth like school children, 30 some year old men acting like a 15 yr old HS kids, THAT IS funny.(only read to page 3 because it got too overwhelming)
Anyway My experiences:
The Z is undoubtedly and old guy magnet, only have owned it for 3 months now and had at least 5 old guys stop me in parking lots to compliment or strike up a story about old datsuns(sp?)! One even asked me if it was brand new, its an 03 with 70k and the rear bumper does not match the rest of the car due to an accident with the prior owner and the rear bumper was not painted, that's funny!
An my personal opinion about this feud, street racing is a part of life, and is any other "dangerous" activity. EVERYTHING we do in life has a certain amount of risk involved. To everyone here, you cannot tell me that you have never endangered someone else, whether on purpose or not. EVERY-TIME a human being gets behind the wheel of a car, we endanger each other, other wise why do we have safety measures? The arguments about street racing are also hollow, look, it going to happen, before cars, it was horses, trains planes, whatever, people race, its a human instinct to outdo the other person, its natural. With all that being said, I do street race, but would never in traffic, or on roads that have pedestrians, literally the only people at risk are those who are racing. I NEVER race with a passenger unless they agree, and NEVER with a woman. I can not tell you how many times a women has stopped me from chasing down a mommas boy in a civic with a fart can that piped me and smiled.
You only live once, and life is too short to not take risks. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow because the driver was on his cell phone, or by a street race gone bad, what is the difference?
I did a report in college on street racing, and the facts are remarkable!
-804 people were killed in racing-related crashes between 2001 and 2006
-150 were in 2006, there were 38,648 fatal crashes in 2006.
.004% (YES 2 zeros) were related to street racing. on a scale of 100 that is .4....
Compared to THESE REALLY DUMB POS PEOPLE:
-12,150 people were killed in alcohol related crashes in 2006.
.323% were related to alcohol, on a scale of 100 that is 32.3...almost 1 in 3! that is 32.3%
Stop harassing these kids and go to the bar and stake it out for drunks, save someones life for real. I have many friends who have had DUIs, and let me tell you, if I would be convicted of street racing in PA, my sentence(license suspension- for at LEAST 1 year) and fines would be more severe than what my friends had assessed upon them. THAT IS SAD AND PATHETIC.
This has been a getting the facts strait by Joepro!
*I DO NOT CONDONE ILLEGAL STREET RACING, BUT PLEASE, BE SMART ABOUT IT IF YOU DO CHOOSE TO DO SO. THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE( ROADS THE YOU KNOW< AND NOT IN THE RAIN, JUST FORGET IT!), NOT ON THE CROWDED STREETS.
BTW, the z runs side by side a new audi s5 coupe, do not ask me how I know

+1 on the drunk driving thing, its a much bigger issue than street racing, but try telling your local soccer mom that.
this easily wins as the best one here, another reason to only go to touchless car washes if i don't have the time to wash it myself
I was coming home one night and this work van pulls up next to me and kept gunning the engine. I told myself it wasn't even worth the waste of an extra ounce of gas and kept cruising while the van kept jumping. We both turn right to go over a bridge and the van guns it and leaves me in the dust, after he pus two buslengths on me, the cop lights go on and the van gets pulled over! Must have been a funny explanation as to why he took off right past a cop...

I wasn't even going to comment until I saw this, what kind of comment is this? I know plenty of people 5' 9" that could put your *** in the hospital with ease. Ignorant comment, I just hope you bump into the wrong person with that attitude someday and they work your *** over good. Your an idiot for arguing on the internet in the first place, you tall tough guy.

HOW?
I got one, yesterday, I was so embarrassed haha. I work at a honda dealer and we went to drop off a customer car at a medical facility, the pediatrics center to be exact. Well we were all out of cars we could take(ya a car dealer running out of cars...) So I took the Z up to grab the other guy. I forgot my clutch and flywheel was in my front seat, and I was moving it to the stock sub area(I took it out) and I had the radio on decently loud. Well it figures, Miley Cirus was playing, party in the USA... I parked right next to the cross walk, and while I was moving it, A girl came out of the office that I happened to know, not well but we knew of each other in high school. Well needless to say she walked right past with Miley blastin'. I was def embarrassed.

my story:
I got my window tint on the car - 5% in the Phoenix summer when it was like 115 degrees out. A couple days later, I go on a road trip to Las Vegas. I come back from the trip and in Kingman AZ, there are small patches of snow on the ground. As luck would have it I got pulled over by a cop for my tint. When I made it back home it was still in the 100s. Kingman cops do not realize the vital importance of window tint, lol

Street racers Street race for a reason, adrenaline rush, extreme danger of ourselves and people around us, high speeds, and street credit. If he didn't race that ******** mustang someone else would have, . If you have a sports car and you drive the speedlimit then WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOOOOOIIIINNNNG !?!?!?!?!?!? -get an economy car- AND "get out of the fast lane too" , your too old to turn heads in a Z anyways. Let the cruiseRs cruise, the racers race, and the drifters drift!, its more then a hobby you useless old f*ckkk its a tuners lifestyle to haul ***, THATS WHAT WE DO. Im a street racer, ive learned many lessons of driving fast the hard way, and i took responsibility for every action, AND PAID FOR EVERYTHING , with my own money. Im at 21 making 70k a year in a service department servicing useless people like you and taking your money. So i wont hear some weekend driver hate on a young hard working tuner for showing a mustang what a Z is all about. Its people like you that give us Z riders a name for being an old man magnet, when people ride up next to your modified Z and go to downshift your probably too scared to even make eye contact let alone punch it and go for the win. You old ******s are pussies, young riders raise up n get these retired drivers off the road! iiiiiiioooOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!
