What's with trolls wanting to race your frs/brz?
 
Official "Come Race me Bro" thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28502


I was having fun going fast on a freeway ramp before I merge on the highway... you kno always fun to take advantage of your small turn radius and stick the side of your car on the lane boundary. that apparently pissed off a car trying to follow me tightly so he revved at the highway merge. Im like chill bro

You guys get this a lot? people overtaking you on the roads? What you guys think...

lol funny when you lose them at ramps

Mr_YUzU_FRS 04-07-2015 09:48 PM

Yea, i get this all the time, from mustangs, 370zs, civic si, sti and evos and even bikers on the freeway. I just look at them and laughed because it would be a waste of gas and already know the outcome. I downshift on the curve ramps and say bye bye though. haha

Amaya 04-07-2015 10:06 PM

I had a 1000cc+ with no2 pull up next me on the highway and downshift obviously wanting to race me. I was actually in the middle of moving so my frs was packed crazy full. Needless to say I pulled on him until he actually hit the throttle :P it's flattering that people think it's fast, and maybe someday once everyone realizes they are slow I will make mine fast enough to surprise them.

All the time, mostly biker. But usually they just gas on when traffic light changes.

The one I remember the most is a Lifted F150 with off-road tires trying very very hard to race me 4 days after i picked up my car. Dude must have really small **** or just insecure as hell.

Bikers dont always try to race, they actually want to get out in front of traffic because its safer than being in between vehicles.

And the second statement is funny as well, I also have guys want to race with SUV's and 4x4s, I watch how they fall away on sharp bends, even with me doing only the speedlimit, they cannot corner anywhere near as hard as I can.

It is much safer to not be surrounded by the big machines that try to kill you.

Many, many of the bikers I see appear to be trying to kill themselves forget about the surrounded by big machines part. Every single day some jackass has to travel the line between lanes of traffic at almost twice the speed limit. If they crash then everybody will be screaming at the car driver for not watching for bikes.

But if you go fast enough they won't have enough time to hit you. And every time I've lane split at triple digits I've survived which means nothing will go wrong the next time, right? :P

I ride. Lane splitting, though illegal in our country, is extremely safe if done correctly and it reduces traffic in places which have a decent mc population. Not to mention it reduces the chance of being tailgaited and rearended by drivers who aren't paying attention.

You can lane split at triple the speed if you want, so long as two cars are side by side, you know the other person won't change lanes unless they are totally oblivious to the road. Check out Royaljordanian or some Californian motovlogger to see how safe, responsible lane splitting ought to be done.

That said, done incorrectly and it can be unsafe. Such as lane splitting when a car is in another's blind spot, you can get pegged there. Or if there are times when there's a car ahead and they change lanes. Looking ahead is key.

If they crash, and you can even look at the gtamotorcycle forum, it's their own fault and a lot of riders will for the most part side with the drivers unless they do something ridiculous like close the gap or open the door blatantly.

There's always a safe way of doing dangerous things, and a dangerous way of doing safe things. When people start labeling things as safe or dangerous they generally stop thinking about why something is or isn't safe, and when you stop thinking you have accidents.

I have made a very good living for the past 28 years based entirely upon that statement!

I had a Nissan Maxima cut me off and I followed of course cause ya know, race car. Also had a Golf rev past me which I also tailed on. Cut that short cause fuzz hang out a lot on that interstate. Aside from that, most tuner type cars and obviously modded ones seem to be interested at looking at the car. I tend to wave at them. They wave back :D

You guys get this a lot? people overtaking you on the roads? What you guys think...

People wanting to race you? Or you wanting to race others?

Considering you were "having fun" on a merging ramp, I'm guessing your intention seemed like an invite to a race.

huhu89151734 04-08-2015 02:20 PM

Was gonna have some fun on the canyon road. The lane merging from two to single, and I was the lead. An Audi A4 zoom out of nowhere cut in front of me try to speed off. I was like ok let's see what you got. A few miles later he gave up trying get rid of me and went off road waved his hand let me pass. Had a nice conversation when we met again at a parking lot. I never bothered red light or highway pull, but. canyon race lol why not.

Appearently the message wasn't clear enough with your post (AND IT WAS THE 3RD ONE!!!!). It should've nipped things in the bud, but now I fear we'll have yet another duplicated thread on these forums.

Why do I even care though?

shif7i7down 04-08-2015 05:12 PM

I seem to be getting the exact opposite reaction from people, tried to goat them to run but they probably didn't care cause the already knew the outcome lol

Had this troll rev on me.

Almost as bad as this jerk tailgating me in the wife's car!
And we had a sick kitten in the car at the time the jerk.
(Oh...and though the angle was accidental it is so very appropriate t for anybody that knows the car and show)

eddiev116 04-08-2015 06:00 PM

I've done pretty well with red light action...I am pretty impressed with my car. Had a SRT Cherokee want to go fast so I kept up until there was a beautiful curve in the road he had to slow down for it but I didn't have to, the end. :happyanim:

Ya, I give a token attempt and then just roll with the punches now. I guess in a way it keeps things fresh to redo a topic a few dozen times.
