Default Taught a lesson to 2 guys in a 350z

On the way back to my apt from my hometown, loaded down with food, car cleaning ****, and luggage i saw a 350z with paper plates, pulled up and saw the 2 guys were around my age, dropped to 3rd and barked them beside their window, his passenger starts pointing at me, he gets in behind me and follows, we get on 485, which is not crowded at all in is 5 lanes, i start to slow as they pull up, i turn on my parking light which arms my shift light(lol), and give them the jump, the passenger throws a peace sign(i guess they had plans on not seeing me again?), this was from a 55 roll btw, i drop 2nd, and stop his pull, 3rd just got nasty, as i waved to them and put about 1 1/2 cars, held it out all of 4th to 120 or so, and they were way back..needless to say, they didn't pull back up beside me...oh what a great day

And I can't get one to line up with me, period

When I get my true duals on around Christmas, I know they'll never step up. My exhaust is fairly timid right now with the Hooker and catted-y. One of these days...

I don't have that problem, my car looks like a 6 cyc.

I have the z28's and the trim removed, and a straight-thru magnaflow muffler going to a single chrome tip.

I get all kinds of fun kills this way!

I wouldnt say EVERY guy. When i was at a gas station in my new vette i was getting a lot of respect from a 350z owner....really nice guy actually. But yeah most think that the 350z owns all. I cant even get one to run me in my wrx...damn shame too since i would destroy a stock lightly modded one.

Not that hard to bark in third, I've done it all the time when my car was stock. You have to be able to shift quick, and bang 3 hard. I use to time it so when I passed someone with their window down, I'd bark third right next to them at WOT.

If HOSS was downshifting then it'd be even easier as he probably blipped the throttle way over what was needed a broke the tires loose when the clutch engaged.

If your clutch sucks though, you are NOT going to be barking third anytime soon. My clutch has gone to ****, and barking third is a distant memory.
