My first test drive in a used 370Z, not even a 1/4 from the stealership I had a mustang flex is motor muscle at me. The Z had a huge PRE OWNED CERTIFIED sticker on the front windshield. I just shook my head, and it kinda made me think twice about getting another sports car. I hate it when riceheads think they got to strut their stuff.

I had a guy in an integra cutting people off, cutting in and out of lanes downs the highway... I waited til he got next to me and took off and left him there with nothing to do but slam his tiny brakes on his 10 inch rotors.

Im part of the group who ignores these characters, but I watched him cut off my girlfriend in her DD cavalier in my rear view, thats a huge no no in my book

I don't notice fwd cars as I'm to busy racing up to Porsches and Lamboghinis and racing them! But they never race me? I'm sure they are worried I will beat them so I fly by them real close like.

Thats pretty lame, a lot of that can depend on the area but ricers are everywhere

I will say one thing, I truly enjoy being in the the Z because often I do not feel the need to prove my cars worth.

Like the other day, some Cobalt was up my ***, then came up next to me, no thumbs up, just some revving and the dude in the passenger seat giving me the look and making his hat more crooked

I just shook my head and put my window up lol. He speeds off. I felt a little douchy but at the end of the day, I'm in the Z...don't need to prove myself to some lame car...at the end of the day, he knows it too

I will say in my area...its more thumbs up and gawking...if someone revvs on me, its more in appreciation..and a mutual thumbs up or nod

The old me would have followed them home or got in front of them and come to a complete stop on any highway or road and taken it from there. Thankfully I have matured (somewhat) I always ask myself what my wife would say and it seems to calm me down moderately...I only followed them for about 5 minutes, might have gone longer if they were headed in the right direction! Thankfully the compliments about the Z far outweigh all the morons in civics and mazdas...you're right, haters gonna hate!

I had a blue 350z come flying up on my rear last night, and then switch lanes beside me and as soon as his exhaust was even with my passenger window he puts it in neutral and just bounces it off the rev limiter for a solid 7-10 seconds. Me and my passenger look at each other and just bust out laughing haha.

Laughing usually does it

Here in DF Dummy-U, it happens to me like twice a day. Wah u guna do ah??? That's just the way ricers think. Sometimes its hard to ignore when you are constantly hammered with the daily rice-o-rama. I look at it as a test of will to ignore them and not smash there face in. Lol

whatever you do, just dont race them. unless its on a track. i have first hand experience of what its like to have a pedestrian collide with the front of your vehicle at 50 mph. it will change your life forever, and its hard to even get back in the driver's seat after that. and even if you are not at fault, everyone wants your head to roll. i get people pulling dangerous stunts all the time, nearly hitting me to get noticed. especially motorcycles and pickup trucks for whatever reason. i just crank up the radio and count my blessings.

That is the right approach.
