I don't think I chirped the tires but under WOT my car is plenty loud with the test pipes, berk exhaust, and supercharger combo. He could've at least ticketed me for the exhaust. I think he was too busy cracking down on all the illegal fireworks going off in the area.

doda74, nice Nismo! I've seen your video before on Youtube but didn't realize you were a member on here.

I was lucky that was all he did.

Killer Nismo, it always feels good stumbling across understanding officers. Shows that they are not out to get you.

Just got my 2012 Nismo and have definitely gotten both positive and negative attention thus far here in LA. There seems to be a lot of people rubber necking to check out the car, but also getting mean mugs from younger guys in what I believe to be inferior cars to the Nismo. Regardless, the general sentiment is positive and I must agree. The car is just so damn sexy!

As I was driving down the road in my Nismo yesterday, had a really mean looking mustang (newer Boss, possibly Shelby) drive by me going the opposite direction... As he went passed me he rev his engine and it scared the living sh*t out of me, as I had my windows down and was not expecting that lol. He probably got a good laugh at my reaction.

Had a few people ask to take pics when stopped for gas. Guess there are not too many Nismos in De. Have only seen one with De. plates this year.

Drive to work this morning, the daily radar cop had someone pulled over...he was just half a block ahead of me and I got on it a little off the light. The way he made a double take at me and raised his eyebrows was just hilarious... I wish I could have that on tape haha. Well I'm sure it was my exhaust that got him to turn lol

My Nismo does not get as much attention as my 1994 MKIV TT Supra, but I see people looking!!

I'd be staring too if I saw you driving that sucker. The Z is a dream car for me, even more so the Nismo, but the MKIV Supra.... I had a MKIII that I loved dearly, and always dreamed of getting the MKIV.

Someday, someday.

Whats up with all these big trucks always trying to race? Tonight I was getting on the freeway and went immediately to the fast lane. This big redneck lifted dodge or ford diesel sped up and got right up my arse. He was driving the speed limit till I got in the fast lane and then he wanted to act stupid. So I sped up a little just to get him off my tail (he couldn't have been more than a couple feet from my bumper) and he proceeded to speed up and match me. So I turned on my turn signal to get in the right lane and as I was merging over he decides to go the same way around me, I had to jerk back into the fast lane. He speeds by also cutting off a few other people and starts weaving in and out of the lanes around people just to get ahead of the crowd. Like I said, he was driving normal till he saw my Nismo. I've seen a bunch of these types of trucks drive real aggressively on the freeway like these. Whats up with these guys?
