Chen, the car culture in here is slightly different in US, at least in public forums, and especially here. This forum has been around since 2008-9. 370z is an aging platform. The active users here that are talking to you are mostly more mature, and don’t condone (or publicly brag) about driving dangerously on the streets.

For the US based users: race tracks aren’t widely available in Asian countries. Car culture In mainland China in specific is relatively new. Looking at his previous posts in collective, his mindset is just a product of car culture of his home country. He has long ways to go in terms of learning proper techniques and acceptable behavior. Don’t be too offended by it. He’ll need to learn, however.

I never defend the young and dumb. But in this case, it’s fair to provide some context.

you are a rude guy but this text is fair, suprised me. You are correct, I am new here as a super new, different blood. I need to learn some old US car culture. People need time to learn. I like here I can see difference betwen here and stupid facebook. I believe I am the first maybe last international student here to intereactive with you guys. Just be patient and talk with me, I am not a stupid ****. You dont have to Emphasize I am young and dumb again and again. You want me to leave the 370forum ?

First off street racing is extremely frowned upon around here. There are race tracks everywhere you can go get your speed fix without endangering the general public. The roll racing you've seen on facebook is just idiots in slow cars doing dumb crap for likes. Find a half mile event to check out if you want to raev real racing. Look for some HPDE classes in your area and keep it under control on the public roads

Uh....I think you’ve interpreted what I said entirely the wrong way there. I was entirely trying to help you out there man.

I myself was born and raised in Hong Kong, moved to US when I was 16. I had my share of adapting to new life here.

Plenty of people gave u shiet in other replies, way meaner than anything I said, and mine is that one you got so mad about?

Edit: some were thinking I was looking down on Asians.....I guess it’s very possible my message could be perceived that way....I should’ve added my cultural and ethnic background to avoid confusion....

I am old and slow, so I get a fast looking car like the 370Z to feel more alive. I also have to admit that this thread and the last one were very entertaining. Accordingly, I thank the OP and the rest of you for your participation so far.
Enjoy life until you die!

You can find entertainment in anything if you look sideways at stuff.

Truck drivers call it dropping a load.

Bakers call it pinching a loaf.

I want to ask of our fellow members here to refrain from anymore negative comments towards the OP.

I'm pretty sure he gets it and moving forward will give careful thought of what he shares to discuss.

Would appreciate everyone's cooperation.

Thanks Trips.

Might as well further clarify....my own engine is completely stock, dyno’d at 281whp. Your car has more power than mine, in case you thought my first reply here meant as a slight to your car’s power....Sigh.
