Let me start by saying this was not what i'd classify as a kill, just two drivers having a good time. So I was on the way back from Austin after visiting my brother for his birthday when a silver 350z with a body kit zoomed up behind me. Now this wasn't a "ricer" 350z it was tastefully done and the driver was about 30 or so. Well he got right up on my tail and when I looked at him in the rear view I could tell he wanted to play :driving:. So I turned off the TCS and floored it maneuvering around the car that was ahead of me, and just like I thought, he jumped out behind me and we started leap frogging through traffic. Traffic was mild but still too much for either of us to really open things up, the 350z is small and nimble so it was a bit more difficult for me to navigate the traffic as he did but I held my own. At one point there was just enough of a break in traffic for us to let it go and I was about a car length back and we both punched it, I started walking on him and caught up as we neared 90mph. I would have taken him pretty easily but we hit a pocket of traffic and had to shut it down. Funny thing is everytime someone wants to play, its when my car isn't in optimal condition. Right now my car is running a bit lean and i had removed my SLPs because they drone like hell on long trips. oh and the biggest handicap was my wife sitting in the front seat scared as hell LOL. All in all it made the hour long drive go by so much quicker. We eventually evened up and exchanged a friendly wave as I exited the highway. Good times, and the driver was cool. :wink2: As a prior 350z owner i figured I'd show the guy some love and let folks know not ALL import drivers are douche bags... just MOST of them LOL j/k
