I unknowingly raced a 350Z the other day. I was exiting the highway at the light turning left and mostly just enjoying the day. When the light turned green I started going when I heard squealing tires and I panicked assuming that someone was skidding into the intersection. It was probably the wrong reaction but I floored it to get out of there ASAP. Once I was half way across the overpass and well out of harms way I let off and looked around to see what happened, that is when I saw the Z that was "racing" me. He passed and continued to pass other people in turn lanes and cut other people off as he sped away. A mile or so later I was behind him at a light with the car that was immediately behind me on the off ramp now next to me, the guy next to me rolled his window down and loudly laughed and thanked me for "blowing the Z away". After that light changed the Z went right back to driving like a doofus, I cruised home still shaking from the fear of getting hit in the intersection.

I was challenged once, a kid commented about the Nitrous bottle (aka fire extinguisher) between my seats and asked if I wanted to race for money. I just said that I pay the entry fee for Bandimere but that is it for money.
