370z's Bring Out the Crazies

Rusty

I'm 61. I get the blow-bys, the rev until the limiter kicks in idiots. I just laugh at them. But every once in awhile. I won't brake for a turn and see if these idiots can hang.

Driving the Z is easy compared to the motorhome. My motorhome is 41ft long, plus add a Grand Cherokee that I'm towing. I'm around 60+ft in total length, and 41,000 lbs in weight. I get idiots who pass me, then pull right in front of me. Then slam on the brakes for a red light. Leaving me with little room to slow down in time. Then I get the morons who expect me to slow down or move over when they are merging from an on ramp. They got the yield sign, I don't. Air horns will do wonders for a sleeping/texting driver. I do get a good view of shenanigans going on in the passing car or truck.

Love it, I can attest to this as well. I also enjoy the occasional mini van moms in their joyous attempts to "take me" at the light.

axmea?

Sadly it frequently happens to me.

I've found that driving about 15 mph over the speed limit seems to avoid a lot of encounters. Most people don't want to go more than 5-10 mph over the speed limit, so they generally don't try to keep up with me. And the ones that do keep up often want to go faster than 15 mph over, so I let them pass me.

Or just find some turns, like Rusty says. It's amazing how many Porsche drivers I've seen fly past me on the highway only to get stuck behind them going agonizingly slow on the curved exit ramp (and I'm in my wife's Accord!)

It doesn't happen to me often with the Z. When I had a C5 Corvette, it was unbearable. I got rid of that car in part because of it.
I've found that I get a lot of respect with the Z. I've only had one situation where a BRZ driver wanted to race me on a Highway. I just ignored him. It isn't worth losing my license or getting my car impounded. That is what they do to anyone caught in the 100 mile/hr range in my area. It takes a lot of maturity to drive these cars without getting in trouble.

It happens almost every time I drive the Z and I'm 62...It's not the age of the Z driver, but the low IQ of the people around you. I used to "play the game" as in speed up to get some distance between us, but then that just gets these idiots more involved. So now, I do exactly the speed limit (maybe 2 MPH less) and give a turn signal or two and it finally gives the message to back-off. If not,oh well. They can pass me if they want to, but I don't risk a ticket or even worse; some kind of road rage. As you "mature" you finally realize it's not worth the trouble to entertain these morons...

You what to see people shatter and run in other directions. Stick this out the window with the 30 rounder in it. But this is something that I will never do, but thought about it.

LOL. I've done that...it's my guilty pleasure. There's a tight sweeping highway exit around here that the Z can handle at 70 MPH. It's especially amusing to hit that with a 35 year old driving a jacked 4x4 riding my ***. I can accelerate out of that and be a mile down the highway before he exits the turn. He'd need to hit ridiculous speeds to catch me.

mults

Yeah, it's great to catch and blow by them...they know they are out-gunned on the curves and tend to not get close to you again...too embarrassed...

I love doing that to people especially on u turns that go under the freeway. They'll be behind me one second and nowhere to be seen the next. One guy almost plowed through a barrier in his maxima trying to keep up, understeer on passenger car tires is a bitch.
