is it just me or do others get this from Camero drivers? :confused: I get a lot of nods, waves, or thumbs up from others while camero drivers do a flyby or rev their engine.

I think they are trying to floor the gas thus rush to the nissan dealership to trade in the camel camero for a Z.

I get the occasional ricer or redneck down here that wants to run. I typically ignore them. I haven't had anyone screaming at me through an open window yet though. I might actually find that enjoyable.

I can only think of two incidents that were memorable:
WARNING, both are long.

( Click to show/hide )

First one was when I was heading home after picking up a pizza. While driving down through UCF territory (college kids, gotta love 'em, or not), had some douche in a neon SRT4 come flying up behind me, tailgating, and then pulls into the next lane and purposely slows down to get level with me. I blame the sound of those Fast Intentions LTHs for that ;). Dude kept doing that for about 5 mins., revving his engine and staring at me. I will admit that I was not in the best of moods, so when he finally goes to take off, I just drop a couple of gears and leave him in the dust. I think I must have pissed him off, because he started to follow me, almost all the way home. Not the best move, I know, but in the mood I was in, I think I kind of wished that he had followed me back home.

Second incident, driving with my mother in the passenger seat, heading out to get dinner. I'm doing about 10mph over the speed limit heading south on SR 417, when I start to pass a couple of guys in an older Lexus GS 300 with gleamies on it. Just as I get to about even with the rear bumper of his car, his passenger throws a full cup of soda out of his window at me. Keep in mind that I wasn't flying up towards them, they were probably only going about 5 mph slower than me. Well I brake a little bit so I avoid most of the soda, and then as I speed back up to pass them, I see the passenger glaring at me with this pissed off look on his face. He starts yelling at me and waving his hands. I proceed to give him the finger and drop a couple of gears, quickly leaving them both far behind me. The funniest part about the situation was that while I was mad, I was no where NEAR as mad as my mother was. I think it took about 5 mins for her to calm down and stop calling those guys names, questioning their parentage, things like that.


All in all, I guess you could say that it comes with the territory man. As has been said, haters are gonna hate, and there really isn't much you can do about it but deal with it.

Look at it like a few of us on here do. Think of how pathetic and worthless these people must be to have to try to prove themselves to someone who doesn't give a ****. Find the humor in it, and laugh at their pathetic actions. It's the easiest way I've found to deal with it.

I don't get anybody wanting to race but I do get the Civics and other riced up Hondas blow by me, pull in front then slow back down to freeway speeds. I don't get it. I guess they like to pretend they beat out a Z.

For some reason, and it happens a lot, I'll come out of a store or something and another Z will be parked next to mine. I think that's kinda cool.

Mine's the convertible:

Ha ha ha, good to know. I thought I was the only one that goes through this on a daily basis, any kind of beater, subaru, honda, volvo, sentra, Infinity, you name it. Ive taken on all challengers and have yet to be embarrased by a loss.. Im sure one day I will get overtaken and my pride will get hurt, til then Im lovin my 2nd brand 2014 307Z Nismo.. I had a 2013 370z NISMO, but got toalled on 17 April last month. Got the 2014 last week.

Dork in g35, jumped from far left behind me to far right lane at light. The right lane ends less than 1\4 mile. I knew what jack-butt was going to try. I rolled down passenger and said "good luck dork". He wouldnt look at me or speak. Lets say i had no trouble with ppl trying to merge

Yeah, I posted the picture with the three Z's somewhere on there I think.

Yeah okay well then, if there's one thing I hate about my Z is the road noise. I was driving home today and there's a stretch of nice enough road that makes so much noise against my tires I have to turn the radio up. Or should I say "tyres" for Limeybastard?

I'm no into doing mods, I like it well enough the way it is, but I think I'm going to put in some sound deadening material.

Yeah TYRES is correct as is windscreen and bonnet and boot :roflpuke2:

Dont worry about the road noise, my previous ride a 13 mazdaspeed was the same, I could hear everything hitting the inside wheel well and so forth.

Zephon13 05-27-2014 10:33 AM
I don't seem to have this problem... I've only had like 2 people try to actually race me. One was a BMW M5 doing pulls on a highway, the other was a base Z that was just messing around on a local road. Amazing how much distance a Nismo Z can put on a base model..

Nobody (not even the Honda and VW kids) bothers me to race even when I try to. lol Maybe it is a regional thing.

Akurei 05-27-2014 12:23 PM
I get people every now and then mess with me still but I guess I either stayed the same or somewhat matured after this thread. I always like to use the method of leading on cars to make them think they are winning, and then before my turn or where ever I'm headed I dust them and go on my way. :yum:

Fountainhead 05-27-2014 12:59 PM
What I love most of all is the cars that punch it at a light when we're both first in line. Vans, compacts, subcompacts, you name it. I've never had an actual fast car do that to me. I wouldn't compete with them anyway on a city street, but I think my gray hair is a signal that I'm not going to race a kid anyway.

Guilty. I love parking next to another Z.

kenchan 05-27-2014 01:04 PM

i was waay back in the dust going 20-25mph with other traffic while i lol'ed...
them family wagons are faaAstly.

Akurei 05-27-2014 04:09 PM
I wish driving was like super mario kart. The hell with the turtle shells, I'd be using sharp tacks, machine guns, r kelly's doo doo butter. I'd be so on a rampage

b15 05-27-2014 04:14 PM
I hate that it's so damn sexy.....and I can't stop looking at it.

Maybe you should stop racing so you won't total this one too... And yes you will beat POS cars. Love to see the look on your face when a Vette pulls up. :bowrofl:

But seriously this thread reeks of street racing. :shakes head:

Dumb.

This is bizarre topic. I would never bash on my own car...







wankers.

Akurei 05-27-2014 10:44 PM
I didn't intend to make fun of the car, but I do realize it is not the fastest car. However, all I'm stating is that people ruin the fun out of the car. I dont want to be praised or looked down on. Its my car. Thats my HO. Nah lol. So basically i went here and started a thread of whiners and cry babies. Just messing with ya'll. But yeah, obviously **** happens so either i gotta just mature and ignore ****, or just be me. Know what i mean

Tribalpinoy91 05-27-2014 10:48 PM
The one thing I hate about the Z
 
Not sure how you can hate your Z because it makes others jealous?

Some crack pot logic if you ask me

Edit: be thankful that you are able to own such a car, not many people can even justify to pick up a car with two seats limited trunk space and a low ride height etc.

Happy motoring!

Akurei 05-27-2014 10:51 PM
Yeah man, I'm getting a lot of hate. The women make it worse. Especially when its someones wife and they see my car then see me in it. Its over. Lol jk, but not really.

Juet people at work mostly, then i gotta deal with people on the road, then i gotta deal with kids getting their greasy hands all over my car

Akurei 05-27-2014 10:55 PM
And no its not my kids, i live in apartments and i wake up and go to work and it looks like somebody had sex on my hood almost every day but the hand prints are midget sized

Zoren 370 05-27-2014 11:13 PM
I do agree with you i think you are better off with the honda civic it might serve you better. The Z might be to much for your personal taste.

Akurei 05-28-2014 07:54 AM
Well, i was trying to make a joke out of it but i guess i can't express the emotions through text lol. Ya'lll too serious. But i wasnt lying for the most part. :p

HEK 05-28-2014 08:53 AM
I'm a blue collar worker and bought the Z now managers who drive Fords 250's and other trucks look at me with envy....go figure and I have to agree with everyone else when it comes to ppl wanting to race, even a Hyundai
Accent GT revs his engine and flies by me like I would spend my gas trying to keep up with him :hello:

My Nismo gets a fair bit of attention, but nothing like my Cobra. Here is a shot of them together at the dyno shop. Nismo made 321 at the wheels, the Cobra make 516hp at the wheels (and weighs 2187 lbs).

I love driving the Cobra and it's a lot of fun to pull up to a light when a fast car is already at the light waiting. I like to shop short beside them and watch them get all nervous and sh@t when they can hear it but can't see it.

I would never brake check anyone ever, but have been known to turn on the headlights (during the day) or get the sudden urge to wash my windshield.

Tickwomp

Akurei 05-28-2014 01:53 PM
Dang man, that cobra must be a cannon. I was pissed the day I created this thread but since then I'm cool. Thanks for all the replies, this is probably the first thread I ever made that has lasted this long. Must have hit a soft spot. I'm stoked to have my Z and appreciate you all for your responses and having me here in your forums. There, now ya'll should feel that emotion from this text lol

conor1123 05-28-2014 04:18 PM
Guess i'm late to the party. :wtf2:

I get this a lot here in AZ, not so much people egging me on but people are so aggressive around me when I drive my Z. If i'm in my pathfinder everything seems normal. I feel like it's because of my exhaust, maybe when i'm accelerating from a stop, people think i'm trying to race but i'm not even trying obviously lol. :shakes head:

But yeah, people just seem more aggressive, always have to pass me, or accelerate faster, etc. I just ignore them and it ends up entertaining me.

Limeybastard 05-28-2014 05:16 PM
Some bitch in a corolla earlier today was up my arse in a 15mph school zone. After school zone ended she blew her horn at me mind you I was in the right driving lane all this time.

I duly wound my window down and noted she had a NY tag. So I yelled what you blowing your horn for you northern ****? LOL

Not really bashing, just a gripe about the car. I love my car but it is far from perfect.

I don't think OP said he hated his Z...he simply said it's one thing that he hated about owning one.

jpkirk 05-29-2014 10:25 AM
Every one wants to think they are Tazio Nuvolari around the Z. Reality is a relative thing I guess. It's a Walter Mitty world.

tnav 05-29-2014 09:00 PM
I own a Nissan Leave and I get either a Chevy Volt or Toyota Prius pull up next to me trying to race me, what can I say lol
