350Z Encounter

Was leaving the Hickam front gate and was stuck behind a Honda wagon (far right lane). Up comes a 350Z with a "bdrift" sticker in the middle lane. As soon as it was clear I got on his rear end, he hit the gas and went left to the fast lane (three lanes). I punch it, went around the Honda and took the slow (inside) lane. The 350Z comes up in my rearview (2-3 cars back) in my lane before the corner. I go in hot, (daughter is screaming), Michelins are howling, but no 350Z to be seen. After the corner, he's like ten (estimate) car lengths back. Honestly, my car is stock except for the flywheel and exhaust (cat-back), and I'm running even less than stock boost. The Michelins were making some noise, but I didn't feel any sliding (nor did the daughter). Not impressed with the 350Z, or at least with the one I played with. If I owned a 350Z, I'd have been pissed.

He was trying from the center lane,

trying from the left lane, and maybe he pulled into the right lane just to check out my trunk. Unfortunately, he didn't even get to see that (except from a distance). Maybe he was scared to pitch it into a corner. All I know is he was desperate to catch up (didn't happen). Maybe it was an automatic, definately not intimidating.

Possibly! If he was actually driving it hard, it would have been a totally different story...the Z is very fast and well- balanced...I'm just surprised.
