I sincerely believe without listening to the tapes, you are taking what you are reading out of context.
I don’t have the time to go back and listen right now, but I am of the belief that what you are speaking to in regards to him being in the car and scared, is being confused.
Please stop suggesting that anyone here to blind to the facts being presented, it’s insulting. We are all listening and drawing our own conclusions. To suggest we are denying truth as it’s presented is just clearly an assumption on your part.
Answer this SIMPLE question.
According to the interrogation tape, was he afraid in his car or not?

Here is the transcript from the 911 call while Z in his car, and then follows Martin after he runs. The text does not show Z with any fear. Even after M staring at him, he goes on about directions to the clubhouse, etc. The only time he gets excited is when Martin takes off.
Excerpt:
Do you see what he was wearing?
Zimmerman: Yeah, a dark hoodie like a gray hoodie. He wore jeans or sweat pants and white tennis shoes. He’s here now … he’s just staring. [00:42]
911 dispatcher: He’s just walking around the area, the houses? OK.
Zimmerman: Now he’s staring at me. [00:48]
911 dispatcher: OK, you said that’s 1111 Retreat View or 111?
Zimmerman: That’s the clubhouse.
911 dispatcher: He’s near the clubhouse now?
Zimmerman: Yeah, now he’s coming toward me. He’s got his hands in his waist band.
And he’s a black male.[1:03]
911 dispatcher: How old would you say he is?
Zimmerman: He’s got something on his shirt. About like his late teens.
911 dispatcher: Late teens?
Zimmerman: Uh, huh.
Something’s wrong with him. Yep, he’s coming to check me out. He’s got something in his hands. I don’t know what his deal is. [01:20]
911 dispatcher: Let me know if he does anything, OK?
Zimmerman: OK.
911 dispatcher: We’ve got him on the wire. Just let me know if this guy does anything else.
Zimmerman: OK.
These assholes. They always get away.
When you come to the clubhouse, you come straight in and you go left. Actually, you would go past the clubhouse. [1:39]
911 dispatcher: OK, so it’s on the left hand side of the clubhouse?
Zimmerman: Yeah. You go in straight through the entrance and then you would go left. You go straight in, don’t turn and make a left.
He’s running. [2:08]
911 dispatcher: He’s running? Which way is he running?
Zimmerman: Down toward the other entrance of the neighborhood. [2:14]
911 dispatcher: OK, which entrance is that he’s headed towards?
Zimmerman: The back entrance. (Mutters F-ing something. Some think “coons”) [2:22]
911 dispatcher: Are you following him? [2:24]
Zimmerman: Yeah. [2:25]
911 dispatcher: OK. We don’t need you to do that. [2:26]
Zimmerman: OK. [2:28]
911 dispatcher: Alright, sir, what is your name? [2:34]
Zimmerman: George. He ran.
911 dispatcher: Alright, George, what’s your last name?
Zimmerman: Zimmerman.
911 dispatcher: What’s the phone number you’re calling from?
Zimmerman: redacted
911 dispatcher: Alright, George, we do have them on the way. Do you want to meet with the officer when they get out there?
Zimmerman: Yeah.
911 dispatcher: Alright, where are you going to meet with them at?
Zimmerman:
Um, if they come in through the gate, tell them to go straight past the clubhouse and, uh, straight past the clubhouse and make a left and then go past the mailboxes you’ll see my truck. [3:10]
911 dispatcher: Alright, what address are you parked in front of? [3:21]
Zimmerman: Um, I don’t know. It’s a cut-through so I don’t know the address. [3:25]
911 dispatcher: OK, do you live in the area?
Zimmerman: Yeah, yeah, I live here.
911 dispatcher: OK, what’s your apartment number?
Zimmerman: It’s a home. It’s 1950 – oh, crap, I don’t want to give it out – I don’t know where this kid is [inaudible] [3:40]
911 dispatcher: OK, do you just want to meet with them at the mailboxes then? [3:42]
Zimmerman: Yeah, that’s fine. [3:43]
911 dispatcher: Alright, George, I’ll let them know you’ll meet them at …
Zimmerman: Could you have them call me and I’ll tell them where I’m at? [3:49]
911 dispatcher: OK, that’s no problem.
Zimmerman: My number … you’ve got it?
911 dispatcher: Yeah, I’ve got it.
Zimmerman: Yeah, you got it.
911 dispatcher: OK, no problem. I’ll let them know to call you when they’re in the area. [4:02]
Zimmerman: Thanks.
911 dispatcher: You’re welcome.
