JB_BA Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 A buddy of mine is trying to take the Civic route, and I'm trying to talk him out of it...so I found this great looking Z near where I live. A '78 280z, loovers, original rims, great looking silver paint job, MSA billet racing mirrors, and an awesome looking interior. The previous owner had obviously done...something...to the motor, it had the chrome oil cap with the "Z" on it, and the chrome head cover...but I don't know if that was all he'd done or not. To the point... so we jump in for the test drive...and the drivers side armrest falls off. I frown and say something like it's 25 years old, if that's all that's wrong I'LL buy the car. So we pull out of the parking lot, and head down to the bypass. He's driving along, tickling the throttle, talking about the throttle response when I spot this old CRX with some kind of funky exhaust setup stopped at the red light in front of us. He's got this little blonde in the passengers seat, so we figure it's time for him to prove his car to his girl. We pull up next to him, and Jeremy gives him the "Eat this" look and revs the motor. While Jeremy is staring at this guys girlfriend and talking about girls and Civics, the light turns green. I start yelling "GO GO GO" at the top of my lungs, and the CRX's back end drops an inch or two and I hear the infamous weed eater sound. Jeremy steps on it but he's not used to a stick, so the burn for a second and then we're off. He's already ahead of us by two car lengths. Jeremy drops to second and the Z pulls hard. That's what I'm talking about, we're right back next to the CRX. By third it's over, we smoke him and jump back into the right lane before it ends and I reach over and hit the emergency lights...just to mock the CRX. Unsportman like...but...he had a blonde and he was driving a piece...I just don't understand. Haha. Anyway, Jeremy tries to get the guy to pull and talk to us, but he hauls ars, so my idiot buddy chases him all over town to talk to him...I'm telling him the whole time the guy doesn't wanna talk, and finally the guys pulls into a tint shop and hurries inside. So I talk him into heading back, but it was still fun smoking the Civic...even after that...he still wants an EX...what a loser...

Guest ON3GO Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 i have a good Z story to tell. Its about my friend who owns a nice fast vette. See me and most all of my friends drive imports and nissans at that. so me (im mike) and my friend devon who also owns a Z32 300zx try to talk my friend who is also named mike into test driving a twin turbo 300zx... he would always say "no way ill stick to my V8".. so one day me and mike were bored and i popped the question.. " wanna test drive cars?" he said sure and took out his autotrader mag... he turned right to vette pages , at this time i felt bored because c4's and C5's dont do anything for me, there more like mid life crises cars and not a car for a 20 year old kid like my friend... so i take the mag and turn to a page full of Z's and i spot one that says, "BIG HP, UPGRADED TWINS".. i started to laugh and told him to drop his C4 at my house and ill drive.. he said fine and we went off. when we got there the car was awesome.. stock lookeen with just a Stillen GTZ frontend and its color is super-white. 5-speed and all and had all the crazy aftermarkert parts that would make any white man jump! he showed us the dyno sheets which showed well over 550 to the wheels. and the owner was cool enough to let us drive it by our selfs because he said he trusted other Z owners and he also said we can get on it. so my friend gets in and starts going down the road, after about 5mins of driving easy on it we see a supra just driving along, i start to scream and my friend gives the car some gas to get next to the supra. before we even get eye to eye with the supra he takes off. BAM from 5th to 2nd we go, get side ways for about 50 or so feet and then the meanest sound i have ever heard came from the hood of the ZTT, PSSSSSSSSS. we hit 3rd and wheel hop like a bitch.. at that time we had about 7 or 8 cars on that TT supra, and we put the hazzards on... god it was great. we slowed down and gave the supra the thumbs up and he honked. drove the car back to the owners and even told him the story.. he started to laugh and said good job. on the way home all my friend was talking about is how much more fun and how much faster that Z was to his C4 which runs 13 flat to high 12's.. i felt proud, then the next day he goes oyt and puts a down payment on a new C5.... i hate my friend mike!
