[QUOTE=birdmanx1;1689459]There's something about the 370z that screams "CHALLENGE ME" to the ricers just as there is something about the GTR that screams "DON'T F*** WITH ME" to them. I've had a Civic SI nearly rear-end me with my wife in the car, a Toyota Solara cross over in my lane to entice me to race... none of which phased me. I've found that most ricers don't like being laughed at. I got one of the most persistent ricers off my lane by faking a sharp turn right on his car on an empty highway stretch. He left me alone after that. I never realized till then that ricers did care about their cars no matter how beat up/ugly they are


That's because the Z is the next class up form their cars and since they couldn't afford one, they like to think/hope they can take on on to make themselves feel better about their crappier car. The GTR is too many classes above and they know it's hopeless even under the best conditions.

The Z is like a velociraptor, it can kill you, but it's not overpowering and you feel you might be able to survive.

The GTR is like a T-rex, you don't mess with it. ( I didn't use godzilla because I couldn't think of a smaller Godzilla equivalent for the comparison)
