Maybe now is a good time to install a turbo. Then you could tap into the compressor to supply that locomotive type air horn.

Problem is, with some people you could be driving the oscar mayer wiener truck, with a oceanliner horn, and they would do the same thing. (male or female)
Glad no damage was done. Actually, I am going to see the Dragon next week, and the grandson is taking me to the dukes of hazzard museum in Gatlinburg. They have the "Dixie" airhorn there for $60.... Want me to grab one for Ya??

I'm not sure I can pull it off with the Z unless I get a confederate flag wrap for my roof.

You may be right. but I swear between the people I was honking at not reacting to it at all and the fact that I can barely hear it either when I'm sitting in the cabin (music playing, exhaust going) I don't think it's good enough.

Another car with music on and windows up, particularly a sedan with noise isolating material, simply can't hear our horn and won't even know anybody is there.

Currently looking at these. Just don't know if they're universal fitment because there seem to be a few of them that all look the same with slightly different model numbers.

Had those on my previous car. Now I know why they call themselves "Hella". Because they're "hella" loud

I don't have an upgraded horn in my 370z, but use Hella Dual tone in my 240Z's. It makes them sound like Volvos.

I do have a "Honk if You're Horny" bumper sticker on the 370 though.

PM me and I'll give you the number of one of my ex's. She was the kind of person that would stick her head out the window to make sure you heard her screaming at you! She'd make a great horn if zip tied to the bumper. Nice thing about her is that you wouldn't even have to press the horn...she'd take care of everything.
