The one thing I hate about the Z

gbrettin · 05-08-2014, 10:25 PM

This has got to be a locality thing. I never have this happen.

Got_Z · 05-08-2014, 10:41 PM

Anyone have these kinds of encounters with giant lifted trucks? At least once a day I have a giant lifted truck trying to get my attention either on the freeway or at a light...

Had an older F-250 pull up next to me at a light and I was purposely rolling in 1st since the light was going to change and I guess either he thought I was going to peel off or he had something to prove, he slams on the gas and spews a nice cloud of diesel exhaust and takes off. A mile later I see him down the road exiting. I don't get it lol. I wasn't even speeding or driving aggressively. Gotta love people who are incredibly jealous or just need to be douchebags.

haters gonna hate

I got ricer flybys today from surprise surprise...a Honda Fit (hahahaha) and a Honda Civic...I think its cute and rarely do anything other than downshift my FI exhaust and make them grin.
The car is about how it makes you feel anyway...people are stupid most of the time, this is earth get used to it:P

Once in a blue moon you may see someone who did something to their diesel truck using twin turbo method. If you look in youtube there are lifted large tire diesel truck doing 10 seconds i the 1/4 mile. But thats rareee haha

Akurei · 05-08-2014, 10:59 PM

I'mma try to shrug stuff off from now on. I just hate it when other people ask why i buy a sports car and dont abuse it everyday. Like they cant comprehend that. A machine of metal surfaces scraping against eachother wearing down.

Thats when i baby it of course

NismoNox · 05-08-2014, 11:11 PM

I roll my eyes every single time some Honda guy pull up revving it

Ubetit · 05-09-2014, 06:39 AM

Probably your age. No one tries to race me. Even if they did I wouldn't notice because I have the radio up, the top down and don't make eye contact with anyone next to me.

jlo370z · 05-09-2014, 07:20 AM

same here, i have yet had anyone try to egg me into a race

I'm just in a pissed mood right now and since you all are fellow owners I'd just like to let off steam here. I love my Z. At first I liked it, but as I learned how to drive it and respect it, it became more valuable to me as a machine than what its worth. 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

This was one of the major factors i sold my '13 Z after ten months. it was just so damn high strung and every dbag had something to prove, even at 5am driving to work every morning. it was just soooooo uncomfortable.

Dont get me wrong, the Z was great, just wasnt what I wanted any longer at this point in my life.

I don't really get egged to race but its more the SUV and minivans trying to "bully". They'll tailgate me, cut me off, speed past me. Quite comical really because I just mind my own business.

Always fun when they cut me off to getting into the off/on ramp, then have to slam their brakes on the turn.

Not about people trying to race me, but...
Several months back I had to go to a funeral in Miss. My sister & BiL also went & took their C6. Almost all of the drive through Ala. was interstate & while we were not flying, we were maintaining a speed where no one was passing us.
We get to Miss. & keeping the same speed, I swear cattle trucks & yugos were flying by us.
We were being passed by everything on the road.
Already going at a speed that was "bruising" the speed limit pretty bad, we just watched as Caterpillar Road Grading Equipment left us in their dust.

I have caused three people so far to get a speeding ticket with that driving method and 5 people have saved me from getting a speeding ticket because they HAD to be out in front..My favorite type of drivers on the highway!
