I don't mean to stereotype but once I see the driver, I decide whether I'll even attempt an acknowledgement or not. No offense to anyone here: Older and/or female = most likely not

Out of most of the Zs I've seen, even counting the ones driven by younger guys, only a few have given me a nod of any kind.

I got a peace sign from a dude in a 280 this weekend. Im with you on the older/female thing though, I usually get the cold shoulder too. I think with the old guys its because of my mods....they have "cooler Z" envy.

Spotted a CS silver coupe heading north on Figueroa at the Wilshire intersection at about 8 p.m. last night (7/5/) in downtown L.A. Late 20's guy driving. I think he had an Invidia exhaust.

I've driven by many Z's with vanity plates and they won't even look at me. Usually middle aged guys wave to me and I wave back. Kinda ghey.

+1 The younger kids give me a confused look like they should know me because I'm waving or older people just stare at me and don't know why I'm waving to them. At least when their car is modded, they are more likely to be on a forum like this or know why we acknowledge each other with a thumbs up or head nod.

Saw a chick in a new SB Z on the 405 fwy yesterday btw HUntington up until ~South Coast Plaza. WOuldn't give me the time of day. Nice looking car though.

On Tues Night heading N on the 405 ~5 mi away from the 605, some brotha in a van sitting shot gun gave me the thumbs up, showed me a car catalog with the Z on the cover and had the zcarparts.com website on the back cover. I gave him the thumbs up and continued on.

I usually get some love from people on the 405, seen a few Z's. ONe silver one with a carbon hood about a week ago we gave each other the thumbs up. thats about all i can remember right now.

Spotted a CS Z with Nismo bodykit (wing, sideskirts) at Tozai Plaza in Gardena about a week back, at around lunch time..... All I remember was that it was parked next to a late model, debadged, black Porsche 911 Carrera.

I knew it must have been someone from the board! You can't mod it that hard and not be on this forum! Your Z looks awesome!

Why not? To make the rear look clean. I'd debadge almost any car... even if it were an M3 that looks like any other 3-series to those who don't know w/o lookin at the badge. So, I'd debaged GT3 too.... that also makes it a sleepah.
