At a stoplight, every car that pulls up next to me thinks that they are Goggles Pisano.
Soccer Moms, Q-Tips, Boi Ricers, Ralph Cramden, everyone has to gun it at the light to make sure they get in front of the Z. Then once they are in front they slow to 5-10 mph under the speed limit.
There are some days I really dislike driving the Z. Cops never bother me (I dont drive like an a$$ on public streets) - but everyone else seems to have a problem.

Nobody has tried to race me yet... I had a bunch of idiots try it when I had my RX-8. I just let them rev their stuff and race off, not about to risk my life and others for a little street race.
There is this guy in my neighborhood that has the most annoying sounding Civic. Sounds like he has straight pipes to his ebay exhaust, very loud and horrible. Yesterday I was driving in my Z with the top down, pulled up next to him at a stop light, and his girl was staring over at me and my car and gave me a smile. Needless to say the guy wasn't very happy lol. Made my 4th of July better though!

I have had a few, and dummies that try to cut me off. I do not refuse, but I am a "little" modded. Camaro's, basically imports, and then the whatever any model car. Seems everybody thinks they are faster than a Z even in Altima's that they can just cut them off.

for some reason I get a lot of attention from GTR's even tho I'm not on that power level. seems like every time I see one on the freeway we run. other than that it's evo's, s2k's, sti's, rsx's too. although I never waste my time with those things. lol

Lately a few Honda models (Civics and Accords), my Z got a compliment from a Mustang owner last week while I was at the gas station. I wave back at other Z owners on the road tho. But to the Honda's hinting at me to race in the street, no thank you. That's what Race Legal here is for.

Im.guilty of pushing the buttons of a honda cruise/ meet in a my old 73' camaro 350ci home built car. fun day,There were prabably 20 highly modded civics and integras. I revved on a few in the front of the pack, they all bit. One by one losing from about 30mph to 70.
My friends and i found desolate roads and did 0 to 100 stuff. Best so far was beating a 2006ish 4.6 litre gt mustang auto. He couldnt understand how my car kept killing his. Good times.
Sold the camaro. New 350ci race going into.an import next. top secret muscle car killer.

How about we do a role reversal?
Many decades ago, I pulled on a 240Z at a stop light. VROOM! VROOM! I was so cool driving my ever so swayve and deboner small-block-Chevy-with-far-too-much-money-invested-in-a-piece-of-crap Chevy Nova. Raised to the skies, big fat BFG Radial TAs. I was the shiznit.
He pulls up next light, which precedes a set of curves winding around San Francisco's Lake Merced.
Light turns green.
Dumped and schooled as the Z took off and ran away in the curves.
Within two months, owned a Z, went to driving school the following year, never look back, still drive Zs for that reason.
