It's just like watching car videos on youtube. Everyone and their mom has a r34 skyline gtr being rebuilt somewhere that can smoke everything else on the road.

TRUE STORY
My friends boyfriend had a civic, he talked for months about how he would smoke my car. Him and all his JDM friends talked soo much smack about my car. They have a bunch of civics with motor swaps and so on. Some are quick, but not his or his friends.
One day were all hanging out, he starts to talk smack, im like alright lets go.
His GF gets in his car, my gf gets in mine. All my other friends roll out in theirs.
We go over to my friends private owned stretch.
I SMOKED HIM! Like bus lenghts.
We drive over to the grocery store to buy some bbq supplies. Go to the cash register, all the items start moving down the conveyor and his GF goes to him and says "Hey Simon look, its faster then your car!"

I SWEAR ON MY LIFE--he sold his car two days after and I never heard BS from his JDM friends again.

So people will talk smack, most of them have shitty cars and wont come out when called out, but for those that do, they tend to lose and take it badly.


Oh and I like your Goat MT. Understated is sexy, and that's just what the GTO was. It was aggressive without tryin too hard.

Happens all the time. I just had a moron today try to edge me on out on the "60" with a stock Chevy Impala (late model) 6 cyl. SO, I had no choice but to get in front of him since traffic was getting weird in front of me --everyone was merging over to the left because of an on-ramp up ahead. This jack ass would not let me over, even if I slowed, so down to fourth and blew by him to get in the left lane. Then he rides my ass for like a mile then swerves out to the right to pass me like the idiot he is. I thought that was funny as hell, he continued to do well over 85 mph down the freeway. In the rain. It's knowing when to NOT engage that makes all the difference. I'd love to take that moron to the track. I notice that these cars attract idiots on a daily basis. When I'm out in my Z06 Vette, I do not find myself trying to not get hit or cut off. This car, my god, it's like a dart board.

Seems this car is bad enough to be on everyone's radar, but not quite at the not-to-be-Fd-with level of badness, like Corvette... Like the 2nd biggest fish in a small pond.

Race him for pinks, then throw his car up for sale on craigslist or something. Then you can have more money for more mods, and less people/cars wanting to race for pinks since you will have won all their cars! Win win!

I get messed with all the time, especially from big trucks and bone stock imports. It's all good though, I usually just let them do their thing.

The dipsqueaks and their monster trucks really make me laugh my butt off when they try me. Some of the funniest sights I've ever seen. I just laugh and shake my head, it's just not worth it. Our society is REALLY that ignorant. My guess is they are in a hurry to get home and watch reality television.

And there reply is, "I'll race you for pinks."

And my reply, "Sure".

And they say, If I wanted something fast I should have bought a truck like theirs which is a 1998 Chevy 1500 with oversize mud tires.

And I hear they've got a 383 stroker with 1100 Horsepower.

I get so frustrated hearing all this. If its true, where do they get the money. They make 10 dollars an hour. Ahhh.
You'll learn that you care less as you get older about everyone else and what they *think* they have. Instead of being frustrated with them being wrong, you assume they're of lower than average intelligence or don't have the effort necessary to discover the real facts, and then move on with life in the next nanosecond.

A select few. Doesn't excuse any douchebaggery that may occur.

The ZL1 seems like it's going to sell well, and probably outrun some rock-crawlers Planning on picking one up?
