The only time I've ever looked at another driver and thought "he's a douche!" is when I pulled up next at a light and there was a slicked-back, long-haired, middle-aged, Italian-looking guy with black driving gloves (in fall), and a pedo-stache that was trying to rev his bmw against my 88 Tracer.

The stroke with the gloves was probably revving cuz he couldn't find 1st gear

He was nervous cuz he just got beat by a Tracer at the last light.

First one I have seen on the road, and ive been driving mine since the end of June..

I saw one two months before I bought mine. Haven't seen another one since. I hope when it happens it's not the same douchebag.

After 4 days owning this beast, I quickly realize that it's easier to pull away from a stoplight with some decent acceleration than it is to pull away slowly.

Damn thing just wants to rev.

Just hit my break-in threshold. 7k RPMs are fun!

Now that I own a Z, I look at the other Z drivers I pass, praying they don't have spikey hair and look like d-bags. I suppose the only Z's that drive me nuts are the riced versions. IE tint so dark you can't see inside, lowered so the tops of the tires aren't visible, stickers of Japanese anime on the sides, and God forbid neon lighting under the car.

It's funny actually, owning a Z has made me want to add things, modify, etc. But every time I get one of those thoughts, I question what I would have thought about it if I saw the same thing a year ago when I still drove an Audi. There is a place for modifying and enjoying our cars, but like anything, it can be done with or without good taste.

About 327 members just felt a little pain their stomach.

This guy had spiked hair - douche style.
The real thing that was funny, was that when he would pull up beside me
(we were on the interstate), he would kock his head to the left to look at me and it was really funny the way he did it, just like he had a chip on his shoulder.

Then as he took his exit he floored it. haha. Dude was goofy

That's why I'm all about keeping the stock appearance.

Blow people away with a good CAI and good exhaust, if you still need more, there are kits that will do what you want...and still keep the stock appearance

vash_241987 · 11-29-2009, 03:15 PM

I think that stock or even the sport/pkg kit is fine for the Z, lower just makes it look even better

HEY SPEARFISH! I have spikey hair! but yes I do not have another other qualities such as stickers *besides the370z.com ones* on my car.

"IE tint so dark you can't see inside,"

I don't see how people that don't have dark tint can do it. My wife and I went out in my father-in-laws Maxima and it isn't tinted at all. It really bugs me when people can see in the car I'm in.

I want to be able to pick my nose in the privacy of my own car.

Ouch, this thread hurts. I'm middle age with spiked hair, tint and soon a ti-tip cbe. Haven't been inducted into the d-bag club yet. Drive like grandma (most of the time). It's funny how many drivers confuse speeding with fast. Sure, every now and then I blow 0-40 off a light b4 the guy in next lane finds the gas pedal - I mean why did we buy the car if not to hear the revs and exhaust sounds? And then there's the other thing - I can.

But when I pull up within a few miles of the speed limit, the real d-bags look very very sad.
