Backing out at night requires windows to be rolled down, but as long as it's moving forward, I don't have any issues with visibility. |

Say it ain't so. I went to a Z show and a guy had an LS in a 280z. Must have seen the chagrin in my face. Said it makes it go faster. Hey, he spoke to me, I had said nothing. I said, then why not get a Camaro? It's a cool car. The engine is the heart of the car. The Z is a sports car, not a drag racer. I also have a 68' Barracuda, 360, and see LS's in everything, some even GM. Would we put a Ford 351 Cleveland in a Camaro? A 429 in a Chevelle? A Mopar 440 in a Corvette? No! The Z guy insisted the LS was cheaper. I said he had no soul. If I bought a Porsche 911, guess what engine I'd want under the hood? As a teacher I heard the "drop in the LS" thing from high school students all the time... their lazy default. It's like rooting for the Yankees but you don't live in or near, and have never been there. It's okay, but it takes no imagination and is about as original as discovering we breath air. I had to school a lot of young people almost all who could not fathom why on earth anyone would Drive a Z. Don't you want a Ford or Chevy truck, Mr. s, they would intone. Oh brother.

That was before we knew about good tires, suspensions, bigger brakes; you know all the stuff that might keep us from flying away... :bowrofl::bowrofl: |
Was cruising coming off the highway, windows down and just enjoying the summer evening. At the light, some dude in his 60s pulls up in a Audi A4. Lectures me how my car has too much power for someone for my age and how his Audi would smoke my car. As per usual I laughed and rolled my window up.
There was a time where this raised pick up was trying to race me on the highway. I would speed up and close the gap so quick and let off the gas and he would catch up again. He thought he was keeping up... Poor champ. At least I made someones day. |

Most people think I'm just some ricer thanks to the wing. Two dudes in a camaro roll up on me looking like they wanted to race; I could hear their engine knock when accelerating over my own car, so i just rolled my windows up and slowed down to 55 lmao. |

Here’s what comes to my mind every time some yahoo in a “muscle” car pulls up next to me looking for trouble....

The best part is I typically get friendly waves and thumbs ups from Ferrari drivers. I even had some guy park next to me and ask questions about my car at a COTA race day. (there were plenty of open spots in the lot).
