I just got rid of my 3G Eclipse for the Z and it's the same exact story. EVERYONE and their mama wanted to race when I was in 147hp car, but now that I have a decent vehicle no one bothers me at all.

I once hunted a 350z ricer with several NISMO stickers all over his car driving aggresive on the street. Saw him and when I pulled up next to him on the nearest traffic light we launched... Needlesss to say, I am sure he threw away all his NISMO stickers after I taught him a lesson.

The long island variety of idiot driver takes it to another level. Aside from the I own the world/road/right of way at all times/dont need to stop at stop sign mentality they are just horrible drivers. I love the tar clutch dump idea, I will keep that one in mind! As my old college professor told me..."everyone in America plays baseball, so I always keep a bat in my cars"...best teacher ever

Technically, can't considered they were street racing, because he didn't say how hard they launch, and he didn't say they passed the speed limit, maybe they just hard accelerated to 45mph

dang, you guys are still venting? wow...

mhcoss · 04-13-2012, 04:33 PM

I have noticed people trying to race me all the time since I got my Z. Most of the time I just chill and don't react at all and laugh at them for looking like an idiot.

Mandingo · 04-13-2012, 05:19 PM

I can't believe only one person has tried to race me. I'm not even sure he wanted to race.

Sitting at a light. He revved his newish civic si. I revved to 5k (Berk bolt-ons) and we left it at that. Boring, I know

More accurately: "The370Z.com acknowledges that street racing is an illegal activity. We DO NOT condone these illegal activities OR welcome posts discussing street racing or 'kills'. Any posts discussing street racing OR any other illegal activity will be removed with no notice."

Yea you should have called the cops. One time I was driving on the freeway and saw a civic come up next to me and it was some dumb redneck kid. I just gave a little rev and he frickin lost it. He sped up and swerved crazily around cars until he couldn't go any further, then hit the shoulder! Which was a dirt shoulder btw. And zooms off, in the dirt. I was like omG. I knew there was no way he wasn't gonna get pulled over. Few miles down the road of course there he was pulled over lol. Gave a little set of honks as I cruised by. Some absolutely insane people out there for sure.

I have many similar stories when I was driving my Z. Now in a Corvette, no one seems to mess with me... because they know or watch this: Two Turkeys on Thanksgiving Wrecking their Corvettes in The Woodlands - YouTube youtube video and instantly know that people in corvette can't drive and I may hit them LOL.
