Ahhh this is really annoying, I had this happen to me yesterday.

Driving on a 2 lane highway around philly, an eclipse starts riding my ***, pulls into the next lane and flies by me...he slows down so we're next to each other again....he pulls off again. He did this 3 times. Oh and he was doing this while it was POURING rain.

not so much near by but when i go west a little too far from my area rednecks in pickups want to race all the time. a few years ago i was joking that whenever you see too many blondies in red pontiacs you went out too far. hahahaha.

now a days they drive hyundais and kia's...

i have had great respect for corvettes ever since a corvette driver showed me how fast his car was at the stoplights a number of years ago.

i felt like my car was going in reverse as he was accelerating

NOBODY wants to race me. I guess that all the freaks are stuck in golfs or civics

I live next to MUSTANG-VILLE, and wheather they have a 98 or 09, they always try and woof me. I let them do their thing...my car wasn't built to be stupid. I still have respect for the Mustang "America's Pony" but DAYMN, the owners are dense!

based upon the videos i have seen on youtube, if a lotus exige came along, I would roll down the window and tell the driver: "you win"

I have this neighbor across the street who made it a point to rev his 2000 cobra as loud as he could whenever i was washing my car, then he'd back out of his drive and go tearing down the street like an idiot, speed limit is 25 by the way... Lol, sweet justice the other day when I come home and see his car with the front bumper cover off, getting winched onto a trailer. I go over and look in the engine bay because the hood is open and what do I see, his timing chain sprocket has snapped off launching the chain on the driver side through the cover and top of the valve cover. Even better is he did it right around the corner from where we live. Apparently he doesnt realize that its bad to start your car and then immediately do that kind of crap, especially as often as he did. sorry about the long post.

And as far as people acting crazy around the Z... I feel ya man, people here in Enterprise, AL arent very considerate drivers anyway, then I get the Z, it's almost comical, almost.

Most of my aggro comes from Porsche owners without fail.

If it wouldn't get my car keyed I'd get the plates "LOLUMAD"

I pulled into the gas station and I see a black gt3 already getting gas.
He was staring at my car as I pulled in.
I get out to pump my gas and he's about to leave and all of a sudden he does a burnout and chirps like no other! LOL!
Man, oh man does that car sound badass @ WOT!

Every new Porsche will defeat the 370z, which Porsche owners are giving you trouble, must be older models
