Default tree fiddy for breakfast

A couple times over the past few months I've come across a 350z with exhaust on my way to work. Our paths only seem to cross for a mile or so before he turns off. Chances of us actually lining up without too much traffic around are pretty slim.

This morning I roll up to a traffic light, not even noticing that he's in front of me, a couple cars back from the front row. The light turns green and I'm awoken by a deep, muscular 3000-4000 rev before he rolls off from the light, apparently he's noticed me. As we make our turn (2 turn lanes onto a 3 lane road) I can hear he's keeping the revs high in anticipation of a lane opening up. Like it was meant to be, the cars in front of us split into the outside lanes leaving the middle wide open. He punches it, I give chase reeling him in. I have to back out of the gas a little until we clear the cars around us. Once I'm clear, I signal, move to the left lane, back in the gas and put the Z in my rearview mirror.

He pulls up next to me and gives me the typical, "What the hell did you do to that thing???" I smile and tell him it's supercharged. He says, "NIIICE!" We give a friendly wave and part ways.

For some reason, my favorite kills are the 350z/G35 (even turbo'd/SC'd ones) and the BMW Z4 (everyone of them I've encountered thinks they're so much better than me b/c they have a BMW).

JDM, I'm stealing your 2JZ signature pic!

what does FTW mean?

Good run! i love the Z's.......

I dont know how yall feel, but i remember driving my first Z and it was a 6 speed. I think i gave way to much credit to it before i drove it cuz when I did drive it, it wasnt as fast as i thought it would be.

As for the Z4.............how fast are those things? can i take one out with the S?
