jesus. heres what happened. I (me) driving around on back roads above the speed limit. yes i stated above the speed limit. i came upon 2 cars, one was tail gating the other. the speed limit is 45 mph and they were doing approximately 30. i passed them once it was LEGAL to pass them. when I was about to pass the S2K he gunned it. Since I had WOT I figured Id humor him but it didnt turn out that way. Then like 1 mile later the last part of the back road ends in an uphill straight. the civic was right behind me and I wanted to see if my Z would get away from it, it didnt. Thats what happened. the civic wasnt a race, i was already infront him him.

Furthermore, when I get pulled over for speeding, if and when the cop runs my plates he hands me back my info once he receives the information and tells me to slow down, no ticket, no questions, nothing.why? because I have more than likely backed that chippie or sherrif up in a vehicle stop and if not, I probably will eventually. so if I want to do a little spirited drive early in the morning, I am going to as long as traffic is light.

Ill post the vids as soon as I get home. In 5th gear at 60 mph is under 3K rpms and thats usually my normal drive through that area. I didnt expect to get flamed and I am asking for some knowledge on the matter but hey its a forum. And unfortuantely in my opinion, the Z as a stock car isnt what I expected it to be. I am thinking of buying another Oil Cooler from GTM and having them installing it which will more than likely solve my issue then hopefully I can go to cal speedway or willow springs with many of the forum members in so cal here.
