Please correct me if I'm wrong.

IMHO if you are going to drive at Grandma speeds, and I am 75, why did you even buy a Z? My Z has never had anything but highest octane Shell I can find.

I was referring to the OP. He/she stated they will drive Normal..

Don't worry, I'm driving it like a Z.

I drive at "grandma speeds". You're from the Tampa area, and you know how many idiot drivers, not to mention uninsured drivers (I believe FL leads the nation in this category if I'm not mistaken), we have in this general area. Then, we also have sh!tty roads for the most part - aside from being the lightning capital of the world, we're also the pothole capital.

I so much as downshift, then some ricer civic thinks a race is on. So by me driving slow, they get impatient/pissed and drive off.
