[quote name='530iii' date='Aug 26 2005, 03:01 PM']Children will be children, i've had Bentley Continental GT's, Vettes, Porsche's etc. next to me on the highway and local streets they never cut me off or "flexed" their muscle on me. That 350zzz probably was looking for a sucker to mess with since his girlfriend left him for a guy with a BMW.

Porsches are a dime a dozen in some parts of so cal, but they don't waste their time with measly e60s. I have had the chance to do some spirited canyon runs with some porsches in both the e60 and 350 though. So much more fun than anything on the highway.

But anyway with what we paid for our 545i's we could've bought 2 base 350Z's

It was probably a Stage3, so I guess he would have 0-60 time in the mid-high 4 sec. range.? Don't feel too bad about it....? Besides, who'd want to drive one of those things on a daily basis and also pay close to $50k for it?

Some guy was behind me this a.m. in a 350Z and I got a sense he was itching for a challenge, but I just ignored him. We both turned on to a 4 lane, fairly steep uphill road and he cut in front of me and took off.? I couldn't resist it any longer with the traffic clearing.? With about a car length between us, I nailed my accelerator in 2nd and took off after him.? I got into the adjacent lane and fairly quickly passed him up.? He was clearly competing, but it just seemed too easy.? I figured a Z would be a bit faster than a 545.? Has anyone else gone up against one?? Was it the hill and the 545's torque that did him in?

350Z is slow. Not too surprised that you spanked him. 5.6sec 0-60 on road and track and a 1/4 mile time of 14.3 sec. Azz SLOOOWW (for a 2 door sports car), not to mention butt ugly.
After 3 years I still haven't got used to the styling. I like how the Infiniti G35 coupe looks much better. The Infiniti is even slower though, 0-60 in 6.1 sec.
