+1, a bunch of cool guys on there but still only met like 2 of 'em.

Also, off-topic here, who owns the Silver 350z turbo? I ran into him off SR-70 the other nite and he was being a$$hole! He wanted me to race him so bad. So after awhile, I gave up and race him! He was videoin it and wandering what was up with this guy? Did he love my tail-lights on my yellow banana?

 

don't have the Z anymore, but was it turbo or supercharged? White kid with short hair driving it, and single exhaust?

That may have been a vortech supercharged Z of a kid I know. He's kind of a clown. I beat him with mine back in the day, lol.

I know there were some biker assholes down here when I had my Z though, weaving in and out of morning rush traffic on 41 near the airport, asshole stayed in my blindspot (which is HUGE on the Z) and got pissed when I didn't see him and tried to merge. Further at a light talked crap to me and told me his 600 could do 190mph. Yah, if he had his gearing set up like that my Z would've smoked him all the way there! LOL. Keep in mind a stock turbo Z is prolly a mid-low 12 sec. car on street tires, 11s on slicks. Not the fastest thing around.....but you know how some power will grow someone's cojones :rofl:

I know not to ride in blindspots...hell, I don't even do that in my car. That and the only time I get pissed is if someone is tailgating me. Gave one assclown in a probe the bird the other day because he was mr.cool tailgating everyone he came up to.

 

Sadly, there's a good handful of clowns in Bradenton that ride like that. Most of 'em don't wear any gear or think its all tough about it. I used to hangout w/ 'em till they decided to take off from cops and what not. Kinda lay my ground w/ some of the riders from Bradenton in the last year. Only ride w/ older groups or guys that just like to cruise around rather than doing a wheelie in the middle of US 41.

 

+1 to that. I'm not skilled enough yet to be a stunter of any kind so those guys prolly laugh at me It's all good though, I'd rather learn how to handle this thing when things diverge from the straight and narrow anyways.
