i've also had little kids point at my car with their finger following my car and saying "i want that" to their parents. Also some random guy on the street called my car a ferrari... I don't know how disappointed he was when he saw my hamburger emblem instead of a horse.
hamburger lmao

i like how random cars, vans and trucks feel the need to speed up and pass me. as in ill just be cruising around 35-40mph doing the speed limit when i approach some 40 year old woman in a minivan. she'll glance over and next thing you'll see is shes increased her speed until shes doing 60mph+. its as if just looking at it makes people want to speed up in their own car.
kuyo, Akurei and InnerDragon10 like this.

LMFAO! Totally agree! I also think the car is way more a guy magnet than a chick magnet. What I mean by that is I have received about 10 times more compliments on the car from guys.

pssssh, in a GTR, you'll get harassed by mustangs. Not Shelbys or other nice mustangs either, I"m talkin about early 90's thru early 00's beat to hell but have a loud exhaust mustangs, in bumper to bumper traffic of course.

At least you didn't have an EVO following you for 15 minutes like I had last Friday night.

I don't even have a NISMO but I seem to attract the same behavior.

The other night, I had a guy in beat up integra riding my rear. He then nearly rear ended me as he did his fly by (meanwhile, I'm already doing 55ish in a 45).

When I got up to the light, he gave me this angry look and revved the hell out of the engine. I'm a jerk, so I revved a bit back and gave him some crazy eyes. I just made a right turn when the light changed as he sped away.

When i had mine alot of ppl thought nice body kit etc...they thought it was aftermarket. But they were not in awe about it. They were more like its okay....they preferred the new challenger. Ppl in the south like their american muscle over any import. Oddly i didnt have too many that wanted to race. They didnt know it comes like that and of course they didnt like the spoiler. Regardless if it looks good or not, ppl down south dont like spoilers.

I actually don't get a lot of looks here in El Paso Tx. However, when I lived in WA state and drove my 05 350z with the full V2 nismo body kit, got a whole lot of attention. I just think it depends on the location of where you are like Nismoracer says. I think the community around here are more into Mustangs and Camaros.
