In the past two weeks I have had 4 G35 coupes and 3 350Z's mess with me in the SS. Almost all of them were very hostile and pissed when they got dusted. One 350 driver reacted quite violently to my lisence plate when he read it (ssmoked). He jumped his car twice like he was going to rear end the SS at the light, he then gave me the bird and other arm waving gestures. When the light went green I left him behind with his anger. I slowed again to let him catch me and get violent, and then I changed my mind and hammered it again to leave him talking to himself, I didn't want to give him the satisfaction. As soon as they see or hear my car they begin to drive crazy, weaving and trying to catch me. Do VQ drivers hate muscle cars or something? Is there a rivalry generating between these cars? Two G35 drivers were actually cool, spoke to both of them at the lights and they were curious what I had to see how they stacked up. This is beginning to get fun, new mustangs want no part of me and I never run into F-bodies or Cobras. My work is in the middle of a maze of office buildings, and there are seemingly dozens of VQ's to destroy daily.

 

sore losers

 

Maybe they spilled their Starbuck's Moca-lates on their suits when they were racing? I see cars like that racing around all the time, they are probably just pissed about how worthless their investment was.

Its not really how they react when they lose, its how they react before. Getting all hostile and driving like maniacs. The best one was a guy in his 350 trying to lose me around a wide on-ramp to the highway. He is behind me, then flies around me to lose me on the ramp. I was in my Z28. My Z is very stripped for weight (no A/C, headliner, airbags, carpet pad etc), tubular K-frame and A-arms, cage, -1.5 camber, 2in drop, 275 nitto 555R DR's and 555RII's. I stuck to his *** like glue, I was actually going slow on that ramp for the Z28. So he pushes it, and the back end slides out on him. Luckily he recovered or he would have flew off the ramp and dropped about 20 feet. I blew past him in the merge lane. He then rides 2 inches off my *** for about a mile. I finally braked next to him when he moved to the right lane to give him a piece of my mind and he swings on the off ramp. They are crazy.

 

From what I have seem when people drive like complete crack heads they are compensating for something. Wether it be accpetance, pride, or "size" they always have to "prove" themselves. Either way its totally unacceptable, I see ricers and quality cars alike driving like maniacs all the time. I think twice before messing with those sorts, they are the kind who run you off the road.

Bingo.

 

MadKilla - come on now - you're ruining the myth that F-bodies can't handle!

 

 

I still think that the worst are the guys who drive minivans. Around my house they seem to think that they're speed demons.

 

I have noticed a majority of 350Z owners think they are the ****. Its just sad.

I can't wait to put my new motor in so I can put bus lengths on them from a roll in my automatic.

Oh, yeah......well, ummm ya know F-bodies handle ok and all but my car will fly off the road if I run over so much as a pebble. Yeah thats it, solid rear axles are worthless.

That is a whole new thread. Minivan drivers have lost their manhood anyway, i don't like to make fun of them. They have major issues with compensating for their complete lack of testosterone. I read a sig quote somewhere that sums it up perfectly, "Men who drive minivans should trade in their manhood for a nice, juicy hamwallet" lol

 

Because they think they are fast...it is all perspective. They putt around for years in very slow cars and finally upgrade (some of these cars are very nice and run pretty well) so they think they can just lay smack everywhere they want.

Just last week alone I spanked the **** out of a few Altimas, GTPs, Maximas...but they normally get in the right lane and back off when I leave their delusional asses like they pulled the e-brake.

I swear the "Lightning - 12 second Club" sticker on my Lightning must to these guys mean like 0-60 mph or some **** like that.

 

I've noticed the same thing about the G35 and 350Z's.

The cars look good and are reasonably fast. I honestly think a lot of the guys who buy them think they just bought themselves a "real race car" and are out to prove their manliness. They think American V8 musclecars are dinosaurs and can't wait to dust one.

When they give it a try, only to find out they actually bought themselves a cute little secretary's car instead of a fast one, I don't think they're too happy.

Then, I think they go nuts on the prowl looking for a musclecar they can actually beat.

 

I love that truck. Pretty damn impressive when its cruising along side a fully modded LE2 LT1 at about 120. I cant wait till I can get one...LE2 and Lightning...I'm saving

I live in San Diego and I'm always getting G35's/350Zs trying me, especially in traffic. I never even think of doing anything in traffic (just plain stupid) so they just zoom off weaving in and out apparently counting it as a win I guess...
I try not to generalize car owners, but with me it's always these G35/350Z owners around here, in the last year I've had at least 5 instances, guess they feel that have something to prove to us...
