Probably more jealous rage.

I was at a gas station the other day with a 350 Nismo (he was at the pump ahead of me) and said "nice car" to him. He said in the most rude, pretentious way, "Yeah."

What a douchefaggot that guy ways.

I shockingly got the opposite reaction the other day heading up to the mountain. A 350 was getting on the highway and noticed me. He did the "cool" wave I guess out of appreciation and so I had no prob waving back. :tup:

There's already tune+CAI packages out for the '11 Mustang GT. Heck, KW even has the V3 for the '11 Mustang GT already.

I have met a lot of nice 350 owners for sure, but that doesn't change the fact that there is still a lot of hate from the 350 camp.

When driving the GT-R around, I give 370z owners a big thumbs down.. I work for Merck, makers of Hyzaar high blood pressure medicine, and giving the thumbs down is good for business.

This is so true. I bought new LCA's, relocation brackets, springs, panhard bar, and sway bars and it completely transformed the car. It had very good handling.

That might seem like an extensive list of modifications, but that is the beauty of the domestic aftermarket. The parts are far less expensive, giving a much higher rate of return.

Well, I also know a guy who doesn't want to include 350's at our local meets. That guy is a dew shnozzle. :stirthepot:

I do that to get Brian worked up. :tup:

Plus, as President of the group I should be able to do whatever I want. Shado: You can no longer wear clothes to the meets. :stirthepot:

Nice guys! I started Japanese Shinsenka JuJutsu in 2003 (correct spelling for our Japanese style). I was held back from passing my shodan test because i did not spend time learning Japanese, which is a requirement for our dojo. Along with needing a mid level belt from another style such as Aikido. In the end i had to leave the state, and never completed my test. For now my brown will have to do, however one day i will return!

Language is very important in higher martial arts forms. Just ask this master...

I got a friend that works at the Ford dealership where i live, and he's been begging me to come shoot the **** one day while hes at work and come test drive the new 5.0 so his day wont go by so slow. I think I am going to take him up on that offer. I will definitely drive the **** out of it. I hope it doesn't let me down.

no chance in hell of that happening, just dont expect it to handle like your Z because it wont, but the slam you in your seat TQ, the smooth shifts and quietness of the ride will impress the chit outta ya.
