OP, just tell you brother-in-law that he's right and his truck is faster than the Z. It will absolutely make his little day.

Houston is not much different. Several truck drivers down there drive like they have sports cars. I saw a truck with a body kit speed down the break down lane just to cut everyone off in traffic. There's this one time a truck owner thought it would be cool to flex and do a smokey burnout next to a G35c at the light around a bunch of cars.
I've seen several sports car owners drive more civil than that. In fact, when I picked up my turbo Z a couple of years back I encountered a Shelby GT500 owner. We drove civilized as usual lol.

I cannot wait for the thread..."I was tailgated so I break checked the truck" He rammed me and now with witnesses saying I brake checked him, now I have to fix my Z."
You do realize that tailgating is illegal, but so is slamming on your brakes.... If someone is tailgating you, and you feel the need to slam on your brakes...First they won...They got under your skin...And second, if witnesses see that you slammed on your brakes on purpose ? You will be fixing your own car....I will wait for the new thread...

Yes....Slowing down without brakes gives them the hint....Well Done...
Anyone slamming the brakes will be starting a new thread ..."totaled the Z"...

I have a 5.0 foxbody mustang kid rev his engine everytime he sees me and he's tried to race every import I've ever had. His father with a supercharged gt said go hop in your rice rocket and get off my lawn when i confronted him for doing rev flyby drag racing. These people just hate imports
Also here in the oc, all the bros want to have lifted trucks. I've had problems with lifted trucks my whole life. |
