LOL - I live over in Daleville right now and I know what you mean. People down here don't drive real friendly anyway - but going through E-prise is often funny. Haven't had anyone try to race me really other than on a trip to Dothan. A Mustang, Camaro and what turned out to be an undercover cop in a really sweet blacked out Charger. We weren't going that fast - 80 in the 65 - but when I started to pull around the Charger he hit his lights for a second, put his hand out the window and motioned to slow down, then gave me a thumbs up. Was pretty funny really.

I agree with those that say take it as a form of flattery, I try not to make eye contact but in some cases I find it funny watching them trying to blast off the line. However, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

I'm driving up I-95 in Virginia and I see this Shelby GT in front. I try to stay calm on the highway...very hard to do around DC. Anyway, I decide to get a little closer and he notices me in his rear view. Well, he stomps on it...noise, smoke, everything. I say to myself...okay lets see. Well, I stay with him for the for the most part until we hit thick traffic...then I backed off a bit. He jumps off the exit ramp and as I go by I see him pounding the steering wheel. Guessed I pissed him off keeping up with him. It was fun.....
I love my Z...... |

News just reported a couple were arrested for insurance fraud. It seems they were racing a GT-R through the hills of California back in November, and went into a ditch; they then tried to make a false insurance claim. Now they have been busted!!!

What im getting at is before i bought my 370z, I owned a Cobalt SS Supercharged with a Harrop TVS Supercharger Swap, 60lb injectors, CAI and a few traction mods. That was sitting at around 260-270fwhp. Got to the track, lined up...they paired me up with a 89 Mustang with exhaust, intake, drag radials and a 75 shot of nitrous. I beat him, came around, lined up with a stock Mustang GT (08 i think), beat him. Let my car cool down for abit then i jumped in line again. Got paired up with a Mustang Saleen with 480whp. He missed 2nd gear and i beat him. So when people say "oh car A will rape car B" not always true, just cuz hp is different doesnt always mean a win. The power in the car isnt the only factor in a race. Sorry for long post but thats kinda pet pieve of mine..lol

You know the funny thing is that now since I have the z noone really tries to race me anymore around where I live.. When I had my VW gli and civic si people use to try and race me allllll the time. Ever since I got my z that stopped. The only person who's tried to race me in my 7 months of ownership is a gto.

every car is different, thats what i dont understand about people. They either say we will get raped by a car or someone is bragging about their car is faster then another. Big deal, it has more power...just like my 370z has more power then my old cobalt. If i wanted a faster car i would have gotten one or ill just stick to my ZX6R. But thats just my opinion..lol.

Here we go again, you are basing this comment on what, horsepower figures? Last I checked curb weight hadn't been released nor had any figures. I love Mustang just like you bro, but they aren't going to run a magazine time lower than a 13.2 and by the time these things are on the streets many Z's will be faster. Figure most people on this forum have CBE's HFC's intakes and maybe even a tune. Mustang guys will rush straight for CBE's and I don't see that helping them much. The new Mustang will be slower than the new Camaro, it always is, it'll overall be a better car, but I firmly believe that 99.9% of them I'll ever see I would be able to take.
