I can see it now:

On Friday evening a long-practising Provo obstetrician and gynecologist was arrested for allegedly street racing with a 17 year-old Provo resident.

The two alleged street racers - the Doctor in his late Model Porsche 923 and the teenager in his 1992 Honda Camry Si Type R - apparently raced for 1/4 mile before attracting the attention of city patrolman Corporal Nefferenoff Puunyshment. According to the Corporal the Doctor "... was driving his porch home after a night of heavy debauchery, I mean, we all know these obstetricians right? And anyway he apparently provoked the youngster into an irresponsible display of acceleration. We don't know exactly how fast they were going but it must have been at least 200 mile per hour."

The doctor come-alleged-street-racer has presided over, or assisted in, the delivery of nearly 30% of Provo's residents. During his arraignment he was overheard to have told Justice Uubbee Gowenaway, "I wasn't racing. Maybe he was racing but if he was I didn't notice. This is all a big misunderstanding. Listen, Sonny, I'm not amused by this and if you don't drop these ridiculous charges I'm gonna put you back where I found you."

Provo city authorities are withholding names of the alleged street racers until their parents can be contacted.
I agree. Boys will be boys. BTDT.

NIce one Bigs.
I was in traffic last week just minding my own business on teh way to home depot when an M3 came up from behind zippped to the left....went by zipped to the right and was in front of me. He must do this to many people as his plate said 'AHEADVU". Of course we came to a stop light but instead of pulling in the lane next to him like im sure he wanted, i stayed behind him. I know i can beat an M3 with out issues so i decide to just mess with him. Light turns green and he acclerated fairly hard...i see that and put my foot down....he keeps going...so do I. Im on his bumper litterlly 15ft Im actually letting off the gas in second gear so i dont get too close. I can see hime glancing in his mirror. Not only can he see me but he can DEFINITELY hear me. His bimmer was running full tilt as far as i could tell. My turn to homedepot came up i signalled and pulled in and away he went....

Funny thing is..I kNOW this guy lives in my development. Ive seen his car out when im walking the dog and Ive seen him driving around also while Im in our truck...drives with the attitude one would expect with the plate he has.

He, of course, immediately stomps it. I can't respond, because the bike is in my lane. He's flying down the road now, ahead of the bike, when the next light up ahead turns yellow.

He immediately whips his car into the outside lane ahead of the bike - inviting me to change into the inside lane. Which I do! Wifey rolls her eyes. I say, "Boys will be boys!"

I glance over at the stoplight, he's looking at me with this smug grin.

Light turns green, I floor it, he tries hard to keep up, but just cain't manage.

After about a half-mile, with him a little behind my back bumper, I brake for the turn-off to my home. He, of course, flies by triumphantly!
WTH???? happy because you took a 350Z with your 928, that's lame.

Hey! When you're an old fart, you take your excitement wherever you can find it!

Actually, I'm gradually savin' up my dimes and nipples, er nickels - before too much longer I'll have a decision to make: total repaint or SC.

If you choose the right occupation, you can always say, "But occifer, I'm on my way to the hospital to take care of an EMERGENCY!!!!!"

Some times it actually works!

Not really, only the engine. The 350Z is based off the FX chassis, which is the rear drive chassis also used by the G35 and FX35/45. Maybe the M35/45 as well, not sure. WHich is the problem, since it's designed to be used in the heavier SUV as well, it has some pretty beefy parts. The 350Z is heavy for it's size and power - same weight as a 928, less power (and much less torque) than an S4, but it's definitely smaller. It needs to weight about 500 lbs less.
