So, unless a sway bar or something will help, he owns me on that course.
minivans driven by bald headed middle aged losers and bimmers with civic fart cans always ownz me in the streets.

Don't be afraid to push your car next time, I doubt you got anywhere near the limits of the Z if that truck didn't roll on a corner.

Here's what you need to do, please follow steps closely:

1. Sell your Z. This is imperative and the rest of the steps will negate themselves if not strictly adhered to.
2. Buy a lifted truck. Any brodozer will do!
3. Buy a pair of white oakley gascans (very important to winning that they're white)
4. Buy a metal mulisha t shirt
5. Buy a tin of chewing tobacco
6. Buy a Fox racing hat
7. If you have any attractive cousins, or even not that attractive doesn't really matter, ask them to marry you.

There you go my friend, a winning formula! You can't possibly lose next time.

You'd better own a Dodge Challenger/Charger Hellcat rather than just a 370Z, which is also equipped with a high performance RD, Laser countermeasure, and very good luck to avoid all possible accidents.

Drive safe.

I took his side because I've been in his shoes before, when I was fairly new to the forum. It seems like he made an honest mistake, albeit in direct violation of the rules. I think the response osbornsm gave was the proper way to handle it. I don't think grilling the op is necessary.

You also are a moron, and part of the problem. This has nothing to do with "forum rules" and a lot more to do with the safety of everyone in the public. I know thinking about the welfare of innocent people is difficult for you. If you fail to see that, one day you will be in an ambulance wishing it was a wahmbulance because of your reckless driving. You are either young, mentally challenged, or just a spoiled brat, but either way, clueless.
