With that being said, besides the mpg, I'm sick and tired of cruddy cars trying to race me everyday. At first I thought it was just california drivers, they just shitty drivers, however today was enough evidence of that by some weak fat piece of crud in a toyota corolla. Me being fed up, i sped up as he sped up, and obviously bogging down my car in second gear at 20mph full throttle, I was still able to speed up faster, get in his lane a car ahead and dust his azz, then go back in my lane at a stop light. I thought I proved a point, but no, he starts talking **** saying my car is slow.

I really love this car, I do. But I cannot drive this car, respect it like old man that fully restored an old muscle car, and just drive it with TLC. Just the fact I'm able to drive, and a awesome car.

But people, are ruining it so bad, I want to go back to my honda civic lx and just suck it up. Because I'm at the breaking point, of getting out of the car and wailing every person that harasses me on the street, as crazy as that may sound.

I'm not the copetitive type at all. Its a fist fight, or be on your way and take your little nose, and point it elsewhere in another persons business.

There, I bitched and complained like a puss. Sorry if this sounds stupid to you all, but just hoping theres others like me who dont want to waste their engines dusting shitty cars everyday. Because you dont see other sports cars acting like jack asses on the public roads

One thing I hate? Haters..

Just take this real life example that occured to me just yesterday.

Driving in a two lane 40mph limit road in the right lane, cars in front of me and beside me.
I notice a gold colored Rav4 speed up behind me and start to tailgate me, I mind my own business and carry on going with the flow of traffic. A few moments later she blows her horn at me, she then finds space in the left lane to aggressively overtake and jump in front of me, bearing in mind the gap was one and half cars only.

For a moment I thought it was immigration,then I realized it was just another stupid hater bint.

Blind spot issues. I am sure I may get used to this in the future. Coming from a '99 Eclipse that was not the greatest either but the z is much worse.

No homelink in a 43k car. Thanks Nissan. Oh, you can get it with a $790 mirror or tech package.

I am sure the list will grow but I will improve upon what I find.

what package did the homelink come with? my 2010 touring w/ sport package has the homelink mirror.

1. it seems like you don't have any anger management issues at all.
2. how old are you? you're really gonna let a kid in a corolla get to you over him expressing his opinion that your car is slow?
3. you get a 370Z to complain about mpg? really dude?
4. clearly you're "not the copetitive (sic) type at all".
5. the last part of the thread cracked me up. you state that you hope there's others like you "who dont want to waste their engines dusting sh*tty cars", yet you sped up, got one car length ahead and into his lane, and dusted "his azz". (and btw, if you only got 1 car length ahead after full WOT throttle, you didn't exactly "dust" him.)
6. other sports cars don't act like jack@$$e$ because they don't care what other people think. if you're going to compare yourself to other sports cars who don't act up on public roads, what does that make you?
7. i know one day, the 370Z will become civic status, but after reading this otherwise b*tch fest thread, it's probably gonna be sooner than later. perhaps you should go back to your civic lx, at least then, you don't have to worry about mpg nor about your car being slow.

Stomps his gas petal and his rear broke completely lose sending him fish tailing into my lane side ways towards to center concrete median, nails it with his front end (im assuming his front bumper took a beating) somehow he bounces off the median (probably not the best way of describing it, but just go with it) straightens back up and keeps driving like nothing ever happened.

I was in shock. I thought it was hilarious but felt super bad for the car. Just really thankful he didn't take me out.

Doesn't matter what car you drive. People around you are going to drive like idiots. With the Z for some reason, there are toolbags out there that feel the need to "challenge" you when you're just trying to drive home from work. Best advice I can give is to ignore them. If they're a real car enthusiast, they'll wave or give a thumbs up. If they're talking shyt, well...anyone can talk shyt. Just the other day I had a repair man come in to fix by boiler. He said nice car and asked how much hp it had. I told him 332 and he said "that's it?!"...my Chrysler 300 has 380hp...I got a chip installed. I thought those things were a lot faster." I could have told him a lot of things about what makes for a fast car, but it's all a bit silly and pointless. He obviously knew very little about cars other than what he read in the brochures and magazines. The same goes for a lot of idiots out there who think they have RACECAR because loud exhaust! Next time, turn your camera phone on for video, rev at the red light and watch these morons look like idiots.

Why u has a Z.

I know sometimes the brochure doesn't mean much, but still, isnt the 370Z faster?

I must know before the fast 7 premiere Thursday night, I don't wanna show up in a 370Z if it is slower than a Civic with a nice paint job and exhaust.
