First kill in the 5.0
Today on my way back from the beach I was cruising on the right lane and I see some bright blue lights behind me, then the car decides to get on the left lane. Once he gets there he slowly creeps up beside me, that's when I notice that it was a 350z. I heard him slowly downshift (exhaust was loud) so I decided to do it also, I downshifted to 2nd which had put me at 5k rpms. Yes I know way too high but hey I haven't even really messed with it just been keeping it cool. Anyways I downshift my car and I wait for the guy to hit it, as soon as he did I followed and I quickly got up on the rpms, we got to a red light and the dude wouldn't even look over lol. I kinda knew how it was going to end but hey I didn't look for the race he did.

Yes they do feel like they want to take off. What does a fast looking Z370 run$ It's really a flashy car and you'd drop your jaw looking under the hood (looks like the USN enterprise with dilithium crystal power). But you know you got a good American chunk of steel when car dealers tell you people are buying plain GT's with nothing just to get that engine. I believe that red light is not a shift light - it's a red-line warning, go to long and your engine limiter will kick-in. Must check my owners manual.

You can really see it at night the whole dash lights-up red. Unless you have a custom tune at a speed shop where they can hack that feature. I think it will shut your engine off like a fuse. I'm traveling so I can't get my owners manual.
