I like to give credit where credits due, and I did tell him he had some pretty good times. All of the slips were consistent as well. He also admited without the supercharger it would be a pretty good race. The owner was cool, the friend was a PITA. From seeing them around, the friend drives a Jeep. And the rest of their crew who are pretty cool drive some worked cars. Evo, Mazda Speed, Sti. The one kid has a 350Z, and even though they are all cool and like my 370. The kid with the 350 couldn't even look at it. Must be a maturity thing, the older the 350Z owner the cooler they are. The difference between a wanna-be and an enthusiast.

Yeah, I like the 350Z but with all due respect I'm sure 350 owners get a little burn in their hearts when they see a new 370. I mean with other cars, usually people find something about the newer model that sucks. And a lot of times there is something in a new model that isn't as good as the old model. Where in NJ are you seeing these guys?

Another quick story for you guys. A few weeks ago I stopped at a 7-11 after hanging with some friends. I was driving my Jeep because weather was nasty and 3 punks come out. Probably like 17-18 with 2 girls. They were obviously drunk or something since they were acting like complete morons. They were getting into a G35 sedan. Kid says to me "is that yours?" I reply yeah, he says "you should trade it in". I just laughed in his face and said you should trade your LIFE in. F-in punks I tell ya!

Flemington area. I think they live in the Piscataway/Plainfield area though.

I agree with, I think Fusz, that mentioned SRM.

I got a dirty look from a mustang driver yesterday when SRM revved kind of high going from 3rd to 1st at a red light. Then he started revving his engine. I just did a and looked away.

In other news, my girlfriend and I started playing a new game while we're out driving together. It's called "Mustang!". We just yell mustang whenever we see one. We drove about 10 miles round trip last night and saw 9!

Own a Mustang long enough and you'll eventually come to a four way stop sign with three other Mustangs. I drove Mustangs from 02 to 06 and it happened to me once.

You gotta do it like "Punch Buggy" and hit each other when you say it.

You can lessen those numbers by maybe 40% if you limit it to 2000 and beyond.

It happens to me in anything I drive that looks sporty. Sedans, coupes, sports cars. I don't think the Z is getting any extra attention. I just think most americans are genrally bored and need to find entertainment. So they race anything on wheels that look sporty. Unfortunately most of them can't drive worth a d*#k anyway...

I see ahole Z drivers tryin to cut me off as well cuz they in a Z. Generally, I use offensive maneuvers and halt there stupidity. Every car make driver has aholes driving them.
