be happy people want to race you. that means you have a car worth while

and look at it this way, on the bright side atleast they aren't spitting on your car lol

:ugh2:

Just from my experience I get a lot of looks b/c where I am located is near many Marine Corps bases. Mainly you see mustangs and camaros. A few ricer cars here and there but mainly the muscle car guys. My girlfriend laughs a lot when she rides with me b/c she is always catching people looking at my car as I can't see them when I am paying attention to the road. Honestly I feel that the guys who are stock in the v8's usually will make a slow pass near me b/c well I am the only one in a 50 mile radius that owns one so they are not sure what the car is capable of. The one's that do offer a little something to the table ya they want to play. I see a few 350's and I'll give them the Z wave, or a quick flip of the lights and they will respond back. V-tech's always want to play and it's when they annoy me that I shut them down. When I get out of the car or when I get in my car in a parking lot is when I really catch people looking. It's funny too when you got the hot milf staring at you as she is loading her car up with groceries and her kids are running around the car playing. I love my car to death and that feeling of people looking at you, ya it's always there.

I'm still in my break in period, so most of the looks i get are probably "GTFO of the way" looks. hehe

Strange as this may sound, I got more "race" looks and challenges when i first got my Corolla S back in 2001, even though the "S" models at the time merely meant I got black interior with red gauges. uhhhh 110HP stock, but I got 43 MPG!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Came up to a light that had been green a while and kick the car out of gear. Synchro rev match kicked up the rpms and the guy next to me was in a 6.0 gto and I guess he thought it was "go time".

I haven't had anyone try to race me. I have had ricers pull up next to me and told me I have a nice car but never a race.

Good 'ole SRM. Sometimes it can unintentionally make you look like a d-bag. :bowrofl:

lol....funny cause its true.

The other day a sweet S4 was at a light as I came up behind him, downshifted so I guess he heard my exhaust and he revved his a bit which was deep and throaty sounding.

Light turned green and he just gave a wave and turned off as I went straight...see thats cool, just car admiration.

Perfect admiration.

Coolest Z-admiration moment for me was shortly after I bought the car (March '09) when I was at a light with an Aston Martin Vantage and a orange Murcielago. Both drivers were stretching a bit so they could get a good look at the Z -- it had just come out so I'm sure I was one of the first they had seen on the street.

Very rarely believe it or not (especially given the look of my car). Mostly I ignore it... sometimes I don't.

when i was in high school, i had a red 350z. There was this one guy that had a 318i lol...piece of junk. he had a nasty sounding exhaust and an intake on it. he literally asked me every single day to race, and i denied him every single time. one day, we were both leaving school and pulled up at a light next to eachother. i knew he was going to floor it off the line, and sure enough he did. i didn't race him of course and so the f****** a***** threw an empty fountain drink cup at my car and drove off. rounded up some of the boys the next day and.......

I get the "wanna race" looks and revs (I am 64 today) but I don't race on the streets. Track days and autocross are where I go quick. There is just to much traffic on highways and city streets to "act like a fool." I just wave at them and continue on my way.
