Is my Z threatening?

Same here. Tell me it ain't so in PA. I lived in Erie and Philly as a kid and PA remains on my list of places I might return. Other than my immediate family, I have no one here but lots of people back there

For BettyZ, I take that as a yes vote on my rabbit hole. If I ever have the money, watch out for a red "570Z." I've been working on a rabbit hole American car for years.

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.

Right? Had he said that to a Mustang driver, i'd be inclined to agree since the first time i drove one (Light tune 2015 5.0) I hit the throttle and instantly thought "I know exactly how idiots crash these"

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.

I've been known to goat some. Smash the pedal, nail 2nd, and then cruise mode.

and watch them take off into the sunset.

hahaha, i'll admit, I'm that guy who will roll a bit at the stop light to see if the other car jumps while it's still red.

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).

I get a lot of comments on the Z. Usually when I'm getting gas. I'll have someone walk up and say a few things. 99% positive. What's funny. Every once in a while. I get some idiot that wants to race. I'll ask him what size is his rear tires are. He'll tell me, and I start to laugh. Pissin' him off. I'll tell him that my front tires are BIGGER then his rear tires. He'll look at them, then look at the rears, and walk away. I'm packin' big meat.

285-345.
