What kinda Camaros are we talking here, IROC-Z's?

Not surprised a Jersey Shore reference would come up. I live in North Jersey so no no Guidos here. I also grew up on the Jersey Shore, and no no Guidos there either.

That's not a good rule because there are nut cases out there for whom your reaction would be their wet dream and you would be the entertainment they were looking for.

With the car above I braked down to 80kph in front of them and they dropped way back. In the 80kph limit I did 70kph and they were pissed. Luckily at the roundabout I went left and they went straight on but it could easily have ended badly with both of us being pissed off and keeping it going.

I agree. It's not worth the risk. Not saying I haven't done that before. I used to fuck around with people who cut me off or do something stupid that could have gotten me into an accident. I realized I'm no different from the person doing it to me. Could easily excel into something really bad. It's just not worth it.

Kids always think they're 10 feet tall and bullet proof. Hopefully he finds out before something bad happens that he is, in fact, not bullet proof.

All it takes is one sucker punch and you could be either a veggy for the rest of your life or dead. Real life is not an MMA cage match. There are no rules and no medics standing by. Just let it go...it's not worth it...

Here's just one example of what can happen. And this was the result of a COMPLIMENT. http://jalopnik.com/5907665/this-man...er-mans-wheels

It happens. Be careful...

If I had a fast car I would just cruise along at my usual 55mph and not budge my foot. Don't need to use up that extra thimble of gas to entertain someone else, they gotta go earn it by getting their own interesting car :P

Fucking with me is:
Unnecessarly cutting me off
Tailing the fuck out of me
Honking
Verbal taunting
Windshield spray while driving in front of me
Flashing lights

Luckily these things don't occur much in my city.

That type of stuff generally doesn't happen in PDX.

But being aggressive on the road isn't worth the risk man. You never know who's behind the other wheel. Could be a little old lady, could be a psychopath.

Hehe, I was just kidding. For some reason every time I read about car culture in New Jersey it made some reference to the IROC-Z. I'm sure there aren't as many now as say 12yrs ago, but it seemed like New Jerseyites loved their Camaros.

Haha yup they definitely love their Camaros and Mustangs here. You see them so much it starts to feel no different from looking at Civics.

naikaidriver 02-11-2013 02:50 PM

This thread reminds me of the day when I bought a brand-new, $34,000.00 1996 Camaro SS Convertible. This was just as the "ricer crowd" was starting to get big. Seemed I couldn't drive anywhere without some kid in a Civic, Integra, Eclipse, or other POS with a coffee can muffler, stickers, fire extinguisher, Type-R badges, and Pep Boys "performance parts" trying to race me everywhere.

Posers are posers no matter what car they drive and no car can fix stupid.

Man! I love Wikipedia!
Imbecile was a medical category of people with moderate to severe mental retardation, as well as a type of criminal.The term arises from the Latin word imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded.

eljefe 02-11-2013 03:17 PM

I dont race in my BRZ. I've got a civic at home with 1.8 liters of vtec fury for those times when i get the urge to go stomp some v8's.

I actually turned down a side street that connects to the street I live on. I took that route to see if he would keep following me. If he did, I would have not gone back to my house.

These people are either idiots, teenagers, adults that never grew past the mental age of their teenage years, or a combination. I do my best to not let them bother me.

Turbowned 02-11-2013 05:28 PM

I had a fast car, once. The only person who ever tried to race me was a 199...7, call it, Chrysler Cirrus with underglow. I was in a completely stock Audi S4. That was a weird experience.

rhoyle 02-11-2013 05:47 PM

That's odd. My B7 S4 also drew a lot of strange attention. Of all the cars I've owned, it was the one that sticks out as everyone wanting to race. I think the V8 badges may have set folks off.

Alas, I didn't put anyone in their place.

Not sure what it is about these kids in Camaros. :thumbdown:

Post some of your encounters you've had!

I had a V6 honda accord do this today. The sad thing is, I probably couldn't have done anything about it even if I wanted too. But at least I look better.

The car looks better too.

I raced an Audi TT, went to jail... Fun night...

sofrsnsokleen 02-11-2013 10:25 PM

actually, about a week ago i was turning left onto an on ramp that is kind of at a 90 degree angle when you turn left with no turnaround lane to yield to, I frequently take it when I go visit my parents and always use sport mode so i can slide thru the turn and gun it to get on the highway. Well apparently a shitty older jetta, (non gti or gli), that was behind me, wanted to "race". I use quotations because i was already on cruise control at 68 by the time he zoomed by me like 3 seconds later.... I was just like, ummm... ok. good effort, i suppose.

Sc0ob_do0D 02-12-2013 02:34 AM

A couple weeks ago, I got "the jump" on an older Merc C-class Kompressor at a red light. I wasn't trying to race, I just know the traffic lights really well in my neighborhood.

He took it as a threat and made sure to stay in my sideview on the driver's side...either waiting for the next light or waiting for me to react and go for it. Eventually I needed to move over to make a left, so I downshifted and signaled. That's when he sped up and blocked me and continued to do so, even when I slowed down. Eventually I got over and he sped off, making sure I heard him.

I admit, I probably should have just let him pass in the first place but I was slightly ahead of him and just thought it was just another C-class. These are the moments that make me miss my WRX, but they are few and far between.

zc06_kisstherain 02-13-2013 12:37 PM

I didnt get anything with BRZ yet but people stare @ my car while cruzing around. lol
I remember i smoked 04 Mustang GT back 3 years ago with my RSX-S with bolts-on + Reflash.
seriously, no point of drag racing. take it to track.

red_comet 02-14-2013 12:00 AM

When people pull up next to me at a stop light and start revving/rolling back and forth, I look at them slowly- and while staring- start to pick my nose.

Works wonders. I don't know if it makes them feel like a$$heads, or makes me look like one, but they cut the crap 9 times out of 10.

Lol, that's a good one. I'm gonna do that next time someone rolls up next to me just for the hell of it.

Cajun 02-14-2013 09:32 AM

Was behind a riced out eclipse at a red light. Dude all but broke his neck trying to turn around to see my car. Then started revving his coffee cans while looking at me in his rearview mirror.. I guess he was showing me how good he was at pressing his gas pedal?

Dadhawk 02-14-2013 10:39 AM

Only had one guy, in a red Mercedes C230, try to race me and apparently I inadvertently caused it. (I mentioned this in random thoughts a few days ago).

I made the "roll your window" down motion to him because I noticed his hood was popped up and wanted to let him know. Apparently he thought I meant "Yo, let's race!" because he just nodded and took off with a full launch as soon as the light changed.

I just did a face palm and drove off on my merry way, but not before thinking what I shared in random thoughts...

"if you are going to buy a used Mercedes it'll up your street cred if you remove the KIA dealership badge off the back after you buy it.... "

kombatlion 02-14-2013 10:50 AM

Welllll I have Genesis, Sentras, Mirages, Porches, BMW, anything you named... I am in Puerto Rico and here everybody want to race me is crazy... to tell you the truth I was tired of being challenge and try with

WRX I was wasted
Genesis Wasted
Mitsubishi Mirage jajaja wasted...
Now I just dont try nothing until I bost or supercharge my FRS...

For the FRS Lovers I know the car is not for that but I want it to be able to beat a civic at least... and I will make it do it.

chandz05 02-14-2013 01:15 PM

Had an RX-8 try to race me a few weeks ago on the highway. Dude kept slowing down until I caught up and then would floor it. Didn't seem to understand that I was going to play.

:laughabove: Thats effin hilarious I will try that if anyone revs at me at the light LOL!

I had a 350Z drive recklessly after seeing me and and he cut me off twice on the freeway but both those times he merged into a traffic lane and I just passed him. Effin idiot.

KnwsAThngOr2AbutAThngOr2 02-15-2013 01:39 AM

Come on you guys, you all act so innocent. I have yet to see a single FRS/BRZ behaving. Every single one that I've seen is weaving through traffic and tailgating anyone that isn't going fast enough for their liking. One of you got on my nerves the other night...

I noticed headlights weaving through traffic in my rear view. I was in the fast lane, the "speeder" ran into a wall of traffic and I forgot about him. A minute later, clear of the wall of traffic, I started to cross the 4 lanes one at a time as my exit was coming up in 2 miles. One lane away from getting into the far right, I notice those same headlights right on my a$$. The lane to my left is open, the lane to my right is open, but this rocket scientist felt I was in his way. I got over into the far right lane and the car "sped" past me, got over in front of me, and had to slow down for the two cars in front that were going ~58mph. I wanted to get next to him and inform him of his shortcomings, but there were cars to his left going just as slow. I was over it. As an exit only lane opened up, the two slow cars in front got over. The black FRS/BRZ sped up a bit and got over in front of them. He didn't leave any room behind him, so I wanted to pass and get over. As soon as I attempted to overtake him, he swerved back into my lane, narrowly missing my bumper. I didn't think it was intentional... at first, I just figured he may have realized it was an "exit only". So, I signaled and started to get over to the right, he swerved in front of me again and hit his brakes. I got over to the left, he did the same again. Now I'm pissed. I fake right, as he goes to cut me off again, I give it a little gas and go around him. He tried to gun it and stop me from overtaking him, but you all know how that went. In his effort to be a super ***, he was stuck exiting. He got right back on the freeway.

You're not all cherubs.

Yup I've seen it too other FR-S drivers acting like they own the road. I'm no Saint I speed and in heavy traffic will squeeze into the lane I need to be in to get on or off the highway. But I don't race on the street and if traffic sucks I'll just stay where I'm at until it's time to exit.

In my days of driving $500 cars another scratch isn't going to effect me and I lived in a no fault state. If he wants to play Nascar he should get the full experience. Wait till an old pos moves him out of their way.

You're not all cherubs.

No, there are plenty of asshats driving all kinds of vehicles including of course our toyobaru twins. However, there are plenty of responsible people on this forum who drive like civilized chaps. Personally, I grew out of my boy racer stage years ago, which is why I have absolutely no power-increasing mods planned for my car. Its a daily driver that makes daily driving fun, and just because I dont track the car it doesnt give me lease to treat traffic clogged highways like a racetrack. Not that I get traffic up here.

Lol new hampshire.

Ahernandez0909 02-18-2013 01:37 AM

I had an Audi S4 pull up next to me while I pulled over to send a text and he waited until I pulled out and floored it when he saw me accelerate, and by accelerate I mean go from 0-60 in like 30 seconds haha. I might've showed him something if it was an A4 but man I am honored to have an S4 try to race me... The twins are beautiful.
