So before we begin let's backtrack to about a week ago.....
I was coming home from night school and since it's past 7:30 and all the little VA State Police are tucked in their beds, I decide to have some fun. I do a few light pulls(nothing hard), do some agile lane changes, etc. I know we are supposed to be all prim and proper but sometimes you just have to let loose.
So as I get closer to the city limits I run up on this Z32 Fairlady. I take a glance at the car, wondering what's done to it other than the obvious larger exhausts in the rear. I don't hear a blow off valve as we climb the hill so I'm pretty sure it's the non turbo 3.0. I continue minding my business and proceed along my way. Then, he rushes to catch up with me. As all tuners know there is strength in numbers....the more of us speeding the less likely the troopers are willing to pursue, and since I'm doing 90 in a 65-70 a little help is appreciated. But he's doing more than that, he's dancing around me in a taunting/competitive fashion. I'm guessing he wants to run but being on the dark part of the highway with deer, slower cars, etc lying in wait I remain patient. As we get into the city limits we encounter a Mustang GT with a spirited driver. He's driving slower though so we're right up on him. As the highway goes 4 wide we take the outside's and pass on through. He speeds up though to gain position. The Z32 lines up with the Mustang and I line up with them both. The Z32 was pretty confident until I lined up, or maybe his buddy in the car changed his mind. The Mustang wouldn't go anyways so I challenge him head on. I dare him to make the first move but nothing happens. He looks over at me and then at his friend....still nothing. After about 2 miles he changes lane's and exits.
But tonight....
I'm cruising the road having some fun and what was bizarre to me but at the same exact point on the road I encounter the Z32 yet again, this time with no passenger. We tear up the dark road on the way to the city and I bide my time yet again for the 4 wide open lanes of the city limits. I pull off, and flash my hazards saying let's go. He accelerates to catch me. Then we line up, I downshift to 4th doing about 75, I honk honk honk, then hit 3rd and redline it.....he didn't even matter, like seriously.
While getting the opportunity of raping any car of Fairlady lineage I'll gladly accept, I was actually hoping for more. I realize these cars are about 600lbs heavier than our chassis, but they have 2 extra cylinders and more power than my H from the factory. Maybe he just sucks at driving? Let me know you guy's opinions.
