my boss would go "oh got busted street racing? Did you win?"

:iagree:

I drove around all afternoon yesterday trying to find some punk who wanted to race me so i could do this... Not a single person, cried a little bit and went home. :shakes head:

But you could get your 15 minutes of fame, Steve! Page One of the local paper for sure. Why would that jeopardize your job? :p

So, while I don't think I'll ever be officially street racing again (minus maybe a quick, short run or something), Im pretty sure actually giving a slow thumbs down is fairly douche-y, and I'd laugh promptly if someone did that to me. It could mean so many things...either you don't approve of the car, what they're doing on the road, or you just know your *** is going to be beat by whatever wants to race you so you're tucking your tail.

When I was cruising in my Camaro (no slouch at all, with 520 WHP on the juice), some dude instigated a race with me. And by that, I mean he was revving the crap out of me at a light, and then took off. So, being the middle of the night with wide open road in east bum **** Omaha, I didn't back down. Smoked him. He sticks his hand out and gives me a thumbs down. WTF is THAT supposed to mean? lol

If you don't want to race someone who's instigating, either don't look at them, or just laugh and ignore it. Giving a thumbs down just makes you look like a vagina.

Today I installed the GRiP exhaust (Ark Technologies) so I took the Z out to make sure everything was good.

All of the sudden on my rear is some idiot in a WRX. So, I ignored him and he gets next to me and floors it. I let him go...he slows down and does this again, then starts pacing me. So I slow up...

Well, the area we were in has two schools and is a known spot for cops to camp out so racing there (or anywhere on the street these days) would be pretty stupid.

Anyhow, we get to a red light and we go, and he floors it of course...I have to say that while I know the WRX can launch well because it is all wheel drive, his must have been stock because he really wasn't going anywhere all that quickly. Well, here comes a turn and the idiot just about loses it, I had to laugh because judging by how slow his shifts were and the fact that he early apexed the turn, I knew he couldn't drive to save his life.

Well, I'm sure right about now he's posting up on his boards how a 370Z was "afraid" to race. In any case...he didn't affect me and did not thing more than show his lack of driving skill and nearly wreck his car. Rookies...sheesh...

Whats funny, like i've said before, I get alot of 350's and G35's revving at me, like the idiots got something to prove, funny really. Not my fault you're driving old news :)

Yeah, I just completely ignored him...honestly I think it's the best thing to do rather than make any type of signals, that does nothing more than feed into it.

The way I look at it...if I want to race I'll do it at the track.

SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM A THUMBS DOWN!

lawl.

alot of 350z owners look at me like im a POS i just look back and smile

How dare you buy a better car than a 350z driver. :stirthepot:

I always exchange friendly nods, headlight blips, etc with any Z, regardless of displacement. No malice seen at all. Maybe you are glaring angrily at them. :tup: A G37 driver and I did the nod at a 3-way stop yesterday. :driving:

i had a audi tt come up to my a$$ the other day and i though he was going to try and race and he gets in the next lane and blows past me holding a thumbs up out the window it was cool

Got my first "Is that a Porsche?" today :driving:

haha nice :rofl2:
