This is sorta funny, but when I first got the 370Z I encountered a late 80s 300ZX one night. I thought to myself "Oh, that's cool!" Then as the car drove by the passenger threw a cigarette butt and it slid across the windshield.

Man, I lost my temper and gunned it next to the car. It was a couple of tween chicks. The passenger had her legs propped on the dash of the car. The driver, a bit startled. So from there I cooled down... just felt a lil Quagmire-like for a little bit haha.

i find that it's mostly douchebags in trucks that are raised for no good reason are the ones that "try" to race me most of the time, other than that though i mostly just get compliments on the color of my Z :D

very true, ricers are just immature kids who dont know much about cars yet they want to appear like they know something, i think we were all there once, i know i was a ricer once

that made me laugh a bit, did you at least say giggity after doing that lol XD

I didnt think i would get revved on this much. Everyone and their mom tries to race me. Maybe its because the exhaust note is so quiet. At least the 350Z sounds like chewbacca.

Not to hijack the thread or anything, now that I think of it, there is little to no exhaust note on the stock 370z. I really wish it had the low purr like the G37.

Jealous and immature (jrks none the less). That's all.

i think sti owners up there with evoricers, there is this female that drives an sti sedan. she always speed up to tailgate people and take quick lane change. every damn day i drive home see this girl at same spot at same time. what i do? i go extra extra slow

Try this. It WILL work. Stick your tongue out at her like a psycho perv to give her the creeps. That'll keep her away from you.

I dont think most people would appreciate being generalized. just say i hate stupid idiot drivers! but yeah Id be mad too. wooooooosaaaa!

OP, today you learned more about yourself....

A responsible driver...

A brain with high EQ...

A good person...

Congrats!! :tiphat:

I got so emotional after this comment I couldn't read the rest.

I cringed a little reading that too.

I just ignore the ricer kids....I got it all the time in the Camaro too. I think maybe the "FASTAH" personalized tag provokes them or something. LOL I've only had one person rev on me since I got the Z....a middle aged lady in a Caddy CTS. I just laughed and let her haul arse away from the light on her own....and thought to myself, I sure wish my FIRST choice for a personalized tag would have been available....

WHATEVAH

I have had similar encounters with Evo drivers. I had one try to race me for over 15 minutes. He followed me around town, revving, flying by, cutting me off, etc. We were even behind a county police officer at one point and he was still behind me goosing the throttle so I could hear his BOV.

I turned through some side streets, even drove by the county courthouse, and this douche was still following me. Swerving, revving, etc.

He had MD tags and apparently didn't know that people in Virginia carry. I was about to turn into a parking lot when he finally decided to break off. I am sure he was lost since he followed me for so long.

I just hope it was one of those touchless car washes. I would be more worried about what scratches one of those machines did to my car then some punk revving his engine at me. The throwing of the drink is begging for a beat down though.

I have had a few encounters with the local Honda crowd. One almost hit me. The driver was tailgating me and I was about to turn. I guess it pissed him off that I was going so slow and must have not noticed the blinker. Well the idiot tries to cut me off before I make my turn. I just shook my head. Then there have been three CTS-V's since I have put on exhaust that have wanted to run. One was a brand new one trying to get me to go in rush hour traffic on the HWY. He finally gave up.

Haven't had any issues out of Subbie's or Evo's or anything else.

Yeah, if the car sounds quiet people think it's slow. I think it's good because the cops don't look at you. It's funny though, when you have a V8 and it sounds like it's not running right... that's when the ricers want to race you. When you've got it dialed in, running strong and sounding right, they keep thier distance.
