I have invidia test pipes on my Z and it makes a raspy noise at about 2600rpms (see 15mph). I was driving down Snug Harbor in Ocean City, which is just a row of boathouses with a paved 25mph road in between them. Some 40 something woman who happened to be out back yelled at me to slow down. I was doing 10 under the speed limit.
This happened at my old job in my 350z as well. It's like "Well I can't do anything about his car but I can take it out on him by telling him he drives unsafely" Also on the topic of 350'z, I have noticed that 9 times out of 10 they are the douchey middleground between older 300zx drivers and fellow 370 owners. I pulled into a car wash with 2 350z's and a G35 and you could cut the tension with a knife. Mind you they were all 16, 18 year old kids who opted for the Z instead of a brand new RSX. Good on them, btw. |
It was bad with the Z but it is absolutely terrible with the STI. everything from scion tc's to bmw 5 series try to race me. Almost every day someone tailgates me and then hauls a$$ around me. Im sure its because some people see the wing, have no clue what an sti is, and think its some slow rice lol

I will have to agree with the 350Z drivers though, they like to tailgate or do ricer flybys... :shakes head: |
Old Z28 Camaro with primered vented hood cut over and briefly gunned it next to me. I think the driver was humbled after I briefly off some steam in 2nd :)
A 3-series Bimmer with "B3" emblem and exhaust (O_o), speeds next to me on the right lane, then guns and narrowly cuts me over to the left turn lane. Yesterday, after passing through an intersection, I noticed from the rearview mirror a WRX driver nearly pwn'd himself after making a hard right. He over steered and the passenger front wheel briefly kissed the curb. I bet that woke him up. There's a driver of an old Buick that drives crazy regardless of what car you're driving. I was on the on the right lane at the light the other day, and he sped and made a right turn from the LEFT lane! It's probably from the nice weather we're having lately. |

Well aside from co workers and co haters calling my 370z a 350z or the little yellow car or a piece of **** when my car is clearly the nicest of all the vehicles in the parking lot litteraly its pretty much normal

I'm parked next to my husband's 350Z right now and I'm inside my car. Just had an SUV with two young guys pull up behind the cars, then to the front and start saying "that's what's up" and "daaammmmnnn". They left, came speeding back and parked next to my car, stared as if they wanted me to go race them and left. I'm taking it as a really creepy nod of approval.

:icon18: That's one creppy nod....Been told it was a chick car. Then I lit up the tires and it went from a chick car to suddenly a mans car the next time I seen them.:roflpuke2: Haters gonna hate

I am hated on sooo much in my 370! I am only 18 years old, so every time a 35+ year old person sees me, the instantly give me the death stare. I hate it because I know exactly what they are thinking to themselves: "look what mommy and daddy bought this kid". I PAY FOR MY OWN CAR! I can’t tell you how often I have to explain myself and how I pay for my own car, it drives me insane! People can’t handle their own jealousy so they automatically judge other people, it’s kind of sad really.
While I do drive rather aggressively on back roads and open highways, I never seems to shock me when people cut me off and purposefully won’t let me into lanes or automatically think I want to race.. and don’t get me started on the police haha |

More of the reactions I get are 100% positive. I get a lot of people waving, giving me thumbs up, etc. I do get the occasional people who want to prove they're faster than me but I really couldn't care less. I didn't buy the Z because I have something to prove. I bought it because it's a F!@#$ sexy ride. :)
