Nismo 370Z
So I was minding my own business driving back from the store and this dude in a Nismo 370Z with body mods pulls alongside and says"Wanna Go?"
Firstly, I'm a 53 year old man. I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody, especially on the street. I told him, I'll race you on the track, but not here. I have an E85 flex-fuel sprintex sc'd FRS. Which has approx the same HP but much less weight than a 370Z. So I think that unless he has some good mods, I'm gonna give him a surprise. But I'm not one of those idiots who street races. |

Playing the devil's advocate, you're car attracts my attention instantly. Mostly because it's rad looking. But I can see why that Z owner would wanna race. He see's a highly modified car, and thinks, "I gotta beat this punk."

Yeah
My brother has a lightly modified convertible 350Z. So I appreciate those cars. Actually I appreciate any sports or high performance car. But there is a time and place to race!

Heh, 53 years old with a rocket bunny kit.
Benchracing time: you guys could dice it up for 15 minutes straight in a furious battle, and a 1989 Miata might sail by both of you in the process with a stock 110hp engine and good tires. Driving skill is huge. |
