The Little 350z that Couldn't
I just aquired this new Z, yea its older, has more miles, is an A4, and dosent look as good as my SS but, hell, the price was right. Anyway, I think for some reason Im having my midlife crisis at 25 b/c ever since I had this car I have been biting on every car that has even looked at me wrong.
Why just yesterday, this punk kid in a brand new Silver 2004 350z (I like the new rims btw) threw a rev at me on my way home from work. I rolled down the window, and told him that he had a nice car and he just smirked. For some reason that just set me off, so I new I had to put him in his place.
We were on a two lane, but alot of traffic and way too many sheriff's (the station was about 2 blocks away). We left the light and he got on so I gave chase, and just paced him easily to the next light. At the light, I asked him what he had done...Induction and cat-back (smirks again ) I told him what I had done and he just laughed, so I was like ok then lets go. He followed me to a long straight side street that was safe for us to do our business.
Three honks...bye, bye. I mean I know I should smoke him, and I know the 350z are slow..but damn, I left him like he was standing still even while I was spinning By 50mph I had at least 6 cars on him. I asked him after we had finished if he missed a gear or something. Nope. Oh and BTW..no more smirk. Asked if he wanted to go again..."Naaw man I think my clutch is slipping."
Well, it wasent much of a kill but it was fun to knock his punk *** down a notch or two. Needless to say, I am not at all impressed by those Nissans and find myself wanting a greater challange. Maybe a Mach 1 ? I havent seen one in my area yet but I have however seen a few 03 cobras..dont think I got enough for them yet though

Nice way to wipe the smirk off his face
Oh yeah the clutch was slipping
How come rice drivers will claim that their cars have sooo much more quality than ours and are sooo well engineered, but after a loss it's always some BS mechanical failure that they blame?

You should have added insult to injury and said "Yeah, my clutch is too!"
Nice kill, BTW!

For some reason this is the choice car for punks. Where I am from these guys seems to always have something to proove. I like to wave to them as I pass them. Really sets them off.

yep they get all intimidated by the domestics, especially the ls1's. If they ever won a real legit race, they would brag and it would be all over the net that they beat a ls1. big deal every dog has its day.

i ran an 03 350Z once....this guy (bout 25-26 years old) was waiting outside the carwash with me...(it was damn cold and its a completely hand carwash for all of you that are about to tear my head off for subjecting the Z to a carwash)...he had a cold air intake and a catback exhaust along with a set of WAY TOO BIG 19 inch Konigs.....
he was shooting his mouth off to about 5 people about his dream car over there (keep in mind this was last year when the 350Z was a relatively rare thing to see on the road). my car came out of the wash grunting, snorting and making all the sounds that your typical muscle car makes.....he saw me looking at it and asked if it was mine...i said yep so he said, o yea i raced one of those a week ago, an SS...quick car, only beat him by about a carlength..... ....ok now im pissed...
i told him that the SS must have been stock or driven by a moron....this got his blood boilinng a bit.....both cars are finished at the same time so he gives me a sarcastic "nice talking to ya" and hops in....we turn out of the car wash and the bloodbath errr battle began....he jumped on me...i jumped on him...finally he honked and we went....at least i guess he went... i couldnt really tell as he got very little very fast in the mirror.... bye bye moron....i never understood why people make those things out to be so amzing....

Yeah I knew I could beat one, but I didnt think they were THAT slow. I think Ive had more trouble from an Acura Pooptegra (not that it was trouble mind you)
I was sidways off the line, and I was STILL leaving him like he stalled or something.
