Cars that pull out in front of me but drive slower than me and they won't move over. Or worse, brake check me.

Reading posts without any punctuation, or with the words "prolly" or "maro" as if typing the two more (and correct) letters to actually spell the word is such a chore.

A few mods for under 4k will resolve that quick and give you more HP/TQ than what the Gen6 Z will have. As the next Z will be lighter for sure but I doubt it will be anywhere near 720HP at the crank.

Why is it other people just decide to go somewhere at the EXACT SAME TIME I do? Pisses me off to no end.

Perfect time for this thread. Today I had to run down to Vegas (160 mile round trip); on the way back I stopped off about a third of the way home to pick up a couple things. As I was about to back on the intestate, I guy in a chevy truck, cut across and cut me off...no biggy. As we got on the interstate, he stayed in the right lane and I jumped into the left, got up to speed (85) and went past him. Next thing I know, he's on my ass, so I pulled over and let him go. Got back into the left lane and continued on. He had pulled back over to right lane and slowed down. A few minutes later, I went past him again, still maintaining 85. A few seconds later, I noticed him coming up fast again, again, I pulled over to let him pass. Right after he did, he jumped over to the right and slowed down to 75...WTF.

Up to this point, I was just driving the way normally do in light traffic on this section of interstate. Now I was getting irritated, pulled into the left lane and hammered it. Pulled several car lengths ahead and slowed back down to my cruising speed. Notice he once again had jumped over and sped up, but, fortunately, I had passed a few big rigs and a couple pulled out to pass the others and he got caught behind them. He never had the opportunity to catch up again.

What the heck was this guy's problem?! I didn't get upset, didn't give him a dirty look or even look over and didn't jump in front of him when I first passed him after he cut me off at the on ramp, just figured he didn't see me and didn't give it a second thought! Rant/venting over

People who don't use their cruise control correctly. They'll pass you then slow down, speed up etc.
Just set the damn thing to 78-80 mph and pass accordingly so I don't have to keep constantly seeing you.

Oh and Croc shoes. They make me sick to my stomach. Don't know why, but I hate them.

So now, you want me to spend even more money just to beat the new base SS. I believe I'll just hold out for whatever they call their next hi-po model.

People that do not understand how to merge onto a highway. The ones that force you to speed up or slow down to keep from hitting them.

That was an awesome thread, would've loved to see the results if that person actually showed.

LOL - there will always be something new coming. I just gave you an option on what a lot of ZL1 owners are doing - including me.

What happens when the new hi-po model gets over taken by the next new hi-po model? It's a vicious cycle to get you to buy a new one every few years

society is increasingly producing idiots, kids graduate high school and can't fill out a deposit ticket, don't know how to fill out a check, will read a sign on an ATM that says that it only gives out increments of 20 and then ask why there card doesn't work when they are trying to get 50 out of the machine.......duh??????? VENT over......for now
