So not today, and not my Z, but yesterday after working on 2 guys' 370's, I took one out for a test drive with one of the owners following in the other. At a stop light, we were spaced one lane apart. When it turned green, a BMW M3 drove past us as we were casually taking off from a stop. So I jumped on it, and the other Z gunned it, and we blew past the M3 from either side, exhaust screaming the same note (they have identical mods). Must've made that driver piss his suit pants.

Please note that the above description was done in a controlled environment and was not street racing of any kind.

This was all done while obeying the speed limit, right?

That's what I thought.

Be nice to that poster -- I think he is one of my sons. In fact, I am certain.

Of course, I always drive at least 5 below the posted limits.

This is the same way I drive. I'm a magnet for the popo... Don't ask me why.

Driving slower than the speed limit will attract more attention than driving a little above. Looks suspicious

Hmm, maybe you're right.

EZ- ouch that looks painful. Hope your touch up service goes well.

I drove it 5 hours from Sacramento back to SLO. On I5 on the way home I had a rock crack my windshield!!!!!!! Boooooo Rocks Boooooooo!!!!!!! It is a really small crack at this point but right in the drivers view. I can have one of the guys stop it from spreading but it will allows annoy me. Might have to fork out the cash for new one.
