The one thing I hate about the Z

Akurei

Whats up fellow comrads and rivals, whatever it may be.

I'm just in a pissed mood right now and since you all are fellow owners I'd just like to let off steam here. I love my Z. At first I liked it, but as I learned how to drive it and respect it, it became more valuable to me as a machine than what its worth. With that being said, besides the mpg, I'm sick and tired of cruddy cars trying to race me everyday. At first I thought it was just california drivers, they just shitty drivers, however today was enough evidence of that by some weak fat piece of crud in a toyota corolla. Me being fed up, i sped up as he sped up, and obviously bogging down my car in second gear at 20mph full throttle, I was still able to speed up faster, get in his lane a car ahead and dust his azz, then go back in my lane at a stop light. I thought I proved a point, but no, he starts talking **** saying my car is slow.

I really love this car, I do. But I cannot drive this car, respect it like old man that fully restored an old muscle car, and just drive it with TLC. Just the fact I'm able to drive, and a awesome car.

But people, are ruining it so bad, I want to go back to my honda civic lx and just suck it up. Because I'm at the breaking point, of getting out of the car and wailing every person that harasses me on the street, as crazy as that may sound.

I'm not the copetitive type at all. Its a fist fight, or be on your way and take your little nose, and point it elsewhere in another persons business.

There, I bitched and complained like a puss. Sorry if this sounds stupid to you all, but just hoping theres others like me who dont want to waste their engines dusting shitty cars everyday. Because you dont see other sports cars acting like jack asses on the public roads

wait till a corolla-S does a ricor flyby.

Right there with ya...I get more people that want to speed up just to get in front of my Z. I notice it way more in the Z than my Mustang. I find it hard just to make a trip home without having to deal with those shenanigans so I just drive slow and let them pass. Then when they've tripped the light green because they were in such a big hurry, I roll past them. I actually take pleasure in driving slow to witness these things.

I describe traffic in Greenville being like Chinese handcuffs (some May be too young to know what I'm talking about). The harder you try to get out of them, the tighter it gets...traffic here is the same way, the faster you try to get somewhere, the longer it takes.

Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhh I get that all the time as well. I pay them no mind except for that one incident I posted about a few days ago.


Here's what you do... Rev the motor when they come up on you again, put the window down and give them the finger. Change lanes and proceed to go about your business as you were before.

I passed a 5.0 the other day heading home and he felt the need to smash the pedal and go nose to nose with me. I looked at my gf, who was in the pass. seat, laughed and continued you cruising while he sped off.

Get used to it. I've even had POS Civics rev at me when I'm riding my Ducati... like anything short of a Lambo has a chance. Dumbasses will always be dumbasses and 370s are like moron-bait. Try not to drive anywhere within 20 miles of an Autozone or Pep Boys.

Move to a better neighborhood, that usually fixes everything

Figured. Still glad to see others. I'll try to be mature about it but I'm still young blood myself. I understand the Z is not the fastest car being low 13s in a 1/4 mile. But unlike the majority on the street who have any clue about a car nonetheless an oil change.

Women are competitive too here. I get women in trucks, vans, fuel saving cars trying to out speed me more than you think. You should see their faces when i dont try to dust them. When i stop at the stop light, their face shows, I got him the ballzzzz hahahaha

It is better since I took my name off the license plate. Before that. Omfg. Every red neck in a lifted picked up had to ride my azz and get by me at all costs.

Wth.

Ha, my wife gets that all the time. Pretty much every time she takes it to her work she comes home and tells me some dewsh tried to race or made a smooch face at her as they speed off.

Today some asshat in a ford turbo diesel felt the need to spool his turbo at the stop light at me then peel out through 2nd gear. I was waiting for a cop to pull him over.

Well they pretty much brought to the obvious. Women in sports cars is sexy. Wouldnt doubt dudes try to impress at the same time of trying to compete
