like I said I don't get many who want to race, but I do get minivans and trucks trying to race past me. It's so ridiculous, I'm not even sure if they're doing it on purpose.

Let's settle this with a race.

I get alot of this in Mississippi. My wife and I were driving to a movie last night (around 4pm on a sunday) and someone in a corolla tried to race me. While I do enjoy driving my Z a little faster than I should, racing with the wife in the car is a no no, not because she minds but I'm just not dumb enough to put her in danger. She was laughing pretty hard at this one though.

I would say on average there are at least 3 cars a week that pull this type of thing, either they are flying and lock on their brakes when they get close to match my speed, or they tailgate me for a few miles then go flying past me at 90.

You know what's a bigger problem for me? Getting people to stop c*ckblocking me on the freeway. Try to change lanes and they hurry up and slam the door on me. Ridiculous!

just got my z on friday and took it up to CT on saturday. encountered 2 older model mustangs trying to get me to race. I didnt even bother looking at them. Then yesterday on my way back from dinner some hyndai pos was trying to. I dont know if i should be taking it as a compliment or if they realllly think theyre car is "better/nicer/fast, etc"

Cause you bought a sports car and the Z is the latest and greatest at the moment. As soon as the next big thing comes around you'll start seeing less and less boneheads out there but they'll never completely go away comes with the territory.

:iagree:

happens to me all the time

I don't have a Zed but sometimes I get raced ( I don't react though) by young girls in crappy pos cars or boy racers in souped up pos cars. I just don't get it, it is like man your driving a pos so put it to rest.

that was me, next time i try to race you, dont be such a chicken hehe.

what amazes me is the people who speed by or rev when they roll next to me have been of all ages, both male and female...wtf. I ain't trying to race grandma on her way to church.

Ironically, I havent had a single attempt to race me in DC/Baltimore.

Mid Wilshire is not "East L.A.", but I'd love to see you GO to East L.A. and say that, then i'd help you pick up your teeth.

Boys Boys now we don't need to go there, stay on topic or take it outside!

Hey I live out here in So Cal and trust me everyday I drive there is someone if not a few people that flies by me in their beater car. Mostly Civic, Accord, Mustang, a few Challenger and Charger, sometimes an WRX or EVO. Honestly when they fly by me, it makes me chuckle and smile at the same time because they obviously "expects" you to slam on your gas pedal and catch up and play cat and mouse with them on the street. But I usually end up meeting them at the next redlight with bunch of 16-22 year olds in the car looking out their window with a smirk on their face and out the window saying "hey pussy you wanna run?" and my answer of course to them is "nah it's good I don't jeopardize my life or others life just to prove how shitty your car is." And usually they get really pissed off and just start using the F word and the P word together trying to provoke me. But in the end we all agree that we love our Z's and obviously they're jealous and don't know anything about cars to be tracking it or become a true "enthusiasts" of motor sports. Just a bunch of street racing wannabe's in my opinion. I usually don't pay attention to any of them. And to those god damn tailgating people. Whatever, if they hit me it's their problem and of course those lovely pick-up trucks that thinks their V8 is better than our Z. Word to their mother. Don't mean to be racist but usually they're bunch of white kids and 909'ers who rides dune buggys and dirt bikes. (if this offends anyone I'm sorry, not racist or stereotypical. Purely for examples here in So Cal, or so it seems). Just keep doing what we do best and enjoying our cars for tracking, canyon driving, or just spirited street driving.

:tup:

I've never raced a 350Z/370Z, but I do wanna see how fast they are compared to an STi. Usually, I don't get a chance to pull up next to them because every time they enter the highway, the driver just hammers the gas and takes off. I'm not going to chase anybody down at 100 mph. If I'm in the Camaro, I don't even bother, because I know that 90% of the time I'm going to win.
