I live in LA, so no one really gives a ****, I get a few thumbs up here and there.

Fast forward to today, I was at a signal light, did not burn out or anything of the sort, shifted from first at around 3k, from 2nd around 3k or so...eventually going to 4th at around 40mph...

I'm accelerating past this Nissan Pathfinder, not being a douche or anything of the sort (slow pass at probably 40-45mph) - as I pass him up, I notice him flicking me off!! :icon14:

So, this has me concerned, am I getting the wrong type of attention with the car?? I have the Ark Grip V2s which are not even that loud!

This has led me to ask - what type of attention do you attract with your car? Thumbs up? flick offs? nothing?

:ugh2:

I hope you're not new to Austin. This is usually the norm around here. I've gotten some waves, some "awesome Z" comments at lights, and some random bikers giving me thumbs up on 45. Those are few and far between though.

I've had the TOMEI EX TI for day and half, and already I can see people giving me the stares when I accelerate. It can get loud if I punch it, but I love the sound :p

typically mine come when downshifting at red lights and people have their windows open.

I guess a straight piped Z isn't everyone's favorite. :bowrofl:

I don't own a Z but after living in Texas for over a decade, I observed most of the Mustang owners and bro trucks with the annoying loud exhaust annoy people on the road.

I love the attention it brings! I was gone on vacation for a week, came back and was filling up at a gas station and a lady said nice car! a fairlady? I love it (she didnt know what it was but I have the JDM badge) and then at the store another guy said beautiful car! Good to be back in the Z!

Ah my bad! I am moving there in a few months so I guess it made sense when I registered a few weeks ago. Although this whole thread is making me not looking forward to the move :eekdance:
