+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?
:lol:

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. :lol: 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 :lol: It's all good though, I'd rather learn how to handle this thing when things diverge from the straight and narrow anyways.
