Ah, but I have foiled you good sir. As your hands are occupied, downshifting and controlling your azz swinging steed, I have slapped the paddle shifter in one fluid motion after pumping my shotgun in slow motion, fired what some might call incendiary buckshot (a la Hollywood), and sent your car into it's blazing final resting place.

But alas..while you were slowly pumping your "gun", I was revving my Z to 3500rpm and dumped the clutch...which allowed me to most ceremoniously dust you in asphalt as I roared by! What you saw most unceremoniously exploding was my AT-based Z that stands in during times of possible danger. The AT takes the damage while the real deal lives on to tell another tale! BWAHAHAHAHAA

Fake? Is it made by Nissan? Does it have a badge on the left side of the rear bumper that says 370z? If you can say yes to both of these questions I think these people that you are referring to can rest assured its the real McCoy..and they fan go to Hell! I hope these aren't people that you consider to be friends. If they are, you might consider getting some new ones.
