The one thing I hate about the Z

Sounds like you've taken a Defensive Driving course. I was taught to stay as far away from other cars as you reasonably can; you never know what the other guy is going to do.

Plenty Although I haven't taken one for any reason other than insurance in the past few years.

Driving always came very naturally to me. It became extremely clear within days of getting my license that it does not come easily to most of the drivers on the road. Fifteen years later, its even worse as almost everyone is constantly distracted while driving. No better than DWI, IMO.

True. I just can't help but step on it sometimes, I'm just competitive like that. Plus I've never had a decently fast car, so sometimes I drive like I stole it. Of course, most of the time I'm right at the speed limit so as not to attract attention from the 5-0. I won't waste my gas on anything not customized, though.

I don't waste my gas on other cars - I save it all for my Z

Every once in a while, I encounter a jerka$$. The fun ones are when they manage to cut a bunch of people off behind you to get next to you at the front of the line at a stop light. I don't have any problem making eye contact with people and my windows are down 90% of the time, so it's an open opportunity for a lot of idiots. It seems most of the a$$hole drivers are too chickenshit to even look over because I will stare them down if I saw them driving incredibly rude or unsafe behind me

If they are stupid enough to rev to get my attention, I often rev back and look over at them with a big $hit-eating grin. I sometimes even squeal the tires a bit on the launch, but then I proceed in first gear at an incredibly leisurely pace. They go flying off and I'm no longer driving next to that idiot driver. Goal accomplished

The other scenario is the ones that don't make eye contact and then still try to gun it off the line. These are usually the idiots that make excessive lane changes cutting people off with no blinker. Occasionally I enjoy screwing with these a$$holes. I gauge my launch on theirs and just see if they are gonna try it. If they do, they often don't commit, whereas I redline 1st and 2nd gear and blow them away before skipping to 6th and setting cruise control at 60 mph (or exactly the speed limit). Invariably they come roaring up from behind at 20 mph over the speed limit and blow past me. Once again, I am no longer driving next to that particular idiot. Success!

My car is a magnet for acura tl, challenger rt, jeeps. I also notice when passing people it seems they het offended and will swerve and whatever to go by me amd maintain being in front. This in traffic. When i ser this behavior and i have a chance to be with them at a redlight i do it. I then roll down my window and inform them politely that i will now be racing, and roll the window up.

Our cars launch and grip like a beast. Its normally game over.

Wow, and I thought since ownership ( almost 4 weeks now ) that it was a mere coincidence, occurs to me also.

Fuzzzy

hmm. I'm beginning to believe that perhaps cars are symbolic penises after all.

Tweek

You sir (or madam) are correct.

For a great many people they are exactly that.

One of my pet hates is I am driving in ( right lane ) doing speed limit and there is plenty of space in the left over taking lane. Car in left lane is 100 yards or so behind me if not more, he or she then eventually gets past me then parks themselves right in front of my car! I mean for god sake can you not make some space first there is no one else around!

Dayuuummm. I read my first post and its trippin me out lol. I think i can understand the suspects viewpoint. About 15 years ago when i got my firstcar which was a 4 door chevorlet cavalier rs 4 banger, i had no clue about cars and their abilities. As i begin to learn how to drive, i started going around thinking i was a bad ***, and my car was bad *** without any clue about cars. Even when i got dusted by other cars, i still acted like a jack ***. So i can only assume, that people who have no knowledge about cars all their lives continue on this behavior without any realization. Lol i think i'm thinking way too much into this

Minsu

Im driving in the rain and this POS Honda comes next to me and (hes going 50 MPH about thats what i was doing) drops it into neutral, revs into red line, shifts into what i think was 3o r 4rth gear and does the puh...puh...puh.....puh...Puh....PU....PUHHHHHHHH. .... pewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
i was in third gear at 50 so i was already pretty high reved, and you know our cars like high revs. End of story.

His girlfriend was staring at me the whole time.

Win win
