Some Z guys don't respect other Z guys

I feel like I get more props from people in other modded whips than people in our Z's. People in the 240-280s, and z32's are cool, but more than half

Default Some Z guys don't respect other Z guys

I feel like I get more props from people in other modded whips than people in our Z's. People in the 240-280s, and z32's are cool, but more than half the time when another z33 or z34 roles up next to me, or roles by me going the opposite direction, I'll throw up a peace sign or heads up and they just straight up look and turn away with a straight face or not even look in my direction (run-on sentence much?). I think it's just.. wtf?
My boy that rides tells me bikers always acknowledge each other on the road and that cool. Too bad there isn't more Z guys like that.

I refuse to hang out with the z33 guys out here. They can't even do a cruise correctly.

Good plan. Something about the 350 guys....

BTW, I get more nods, etc., in my 240 than my 370, by far.

There is another post that veered into this discussion..something along the lines of coming up with a signature Z owners wave. On there people complained about the same thing..no respect. I think age group has alot to do with it. I will get a wave from a middle aged guy in a Z..but the ones who are 19 and pay the $10,000 for the 350z with 100+k miles on it..tend to exhibit exquisite douche-baggary.

It's because of your rims, Econ hehe...


luckily, all the Z34's in my area, I pretty much know all of them (and work with them actually). I have seen a few Z33's, and have waved and I believe have waved back... trying to remember for sure....

In my area (Cleveland, OH), the Z's here seems to respect each other. A quick wave or peace sign and you get one in return.

I agree with the other cars as well. I get props from Evo's and Subbies all the time.

It seems like i get the most respect and props from volkswagon guys around here. I've even had them pull a u-turn in the middle of the road to come up next to me to say ''nice car''

Haha, I started a tread just like this about a year ago... I concur. I drive a Z32 and a Z34 Roadster and always throw my Z brothers and sisters a little love. More and more people are scooping up used Z33s that couldn't care less about Zdom/heritage. I am not for a minute saying that there aren't Z33 enthusiast because I know plenty. It's all good. I will continue to try to bring them to the light.
