I've noticed that too! It's really weird. My wheels aren't stock but they're either looking at my wheels, brakes or fenders. Almost every time I'm stopped at a light and someone looks, they're staring at that area. Hmm..

Same here. I don't even average 1 a week.

Driving a Z here in Germany is like driving a supercar...or at least I feel that way lol. I guess these are more rare than porches out here! Craziest was when I came out the movies and saw a group of high school kids taking pics with it. Funny thing is I've only got a sport touring lowered on swifts and 20mm on all 4 :)

i got 1 thumbs up on the highway an hour into picking up the z (i live 2 hours away from the dealership) and yesterday as i was dropping my girlfriend off, these youngsters just stared at my car with their jaws dropped... :tup: no bad experience so far.

I stopped for gas this morning and the young man, before asking about the type of gasoline I wanted, said "You've got a beast of a car". :-) We chatted just a moment and he was excited to be looking at a Mustang for himself this coming weekend.

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 usually get a lot of thumbs up and uncalled for challengers who think I'm trying to show them up or race when I'm just casually driving.

Also unwanted attention from the police, especially when entering the freeway. I've had cops pull up kissing my *** and driving at my speed after catching up with traffic due to the exhaust and they just give me a death stare lol.

lol yesterday this rc-f was flying because i decided to close the gap so he kept making more space.

on the off ramp he was slowing down and i got right up in his grill =P takes the finesse.


oh and this morning this bmw 650 thoguht i was trying to 'race' him but i was trying to prevent this stupid cabbie from doing a douche move of trying to pass on the right hand when a car was parked after the light. :ugh2:

Integra thought he was racing me today and blew by with the loud fart can. I was just cruising down the road at 45mph. Go figure. Getting on an on ramp just a few minutes later, a guy in a older Chevy pickup was trying to keep up in a sharp turn. I have no idea how he held it on the road. I was just jumping on the interstate and happen to look in my mirror. I just had new tires put on, no way was I going crazy fast. The tires still had the sealer on them. That would have been a disaster waiting to happen.

Yeah I got the "sir you have a beautiful car!" from a kid while I was waiting to make a left in our neighborhood.

I suppose kids, and most people are bored of seeing either SUV's/Crossovers/4 door family sedans over and over and over... especially in Oregon!

Cheers to that lad!
I've noticed the kids get hyped up most :) I like to give them a show every now and then.

I remember when I was young I'd see sports cars and always give the owners thumbs up and they'd just ignore me, so I'd like to change that haha.

Got pulled over by an undercover just for him to give me a compliment LOL! I wonder if he'd get in trouble for that... Also got a compliment by some guy in a Audi Q7 :tup:

DeliriousClam 08-17-2015 07:41 PM
I get "hey kid go give your father his car back" a lot.

I usually get compliments, one time a guy in a 40th waved me down at a light and said the 15 Nismo's look better in person for sure lol.

But.. unfortunately I also get the guys in Toyota Camry's and Ford Fusion's flying from 10 miles behind me to hover over my rear bumper.. only to pass me at and look back like.. your car ain't fast bro! (it's always guys)

P's_Z 08-18-2015 08:49 PM
The good: people rolling the windows down to say how beautiful the car is :tup:
The bad: no looks or thumbs up from most Z owners :ugh2:
The ugly: kia rios and beat up civics trying to race me :shakes head:
