I merged onto the interstate, and as I like to do after sitting in traffic for 20 minutes, I run it through all the gears for no other reason than fun. As I do this, I start to make my way across the 4 lanes to the far left to pass the wall of cars in the right 3 lanes.

So this A4 in the far left lane must have seen this and thought: 'I don't want to get blocked,' so he gunned it. I was going faster than him, and full throttle at the top of 3rd, and the guy just casually blows past me. I had a WTF moment. I thought the A4 only had like 250 hp and tq and weighs like 3,500 pounds. Anyway, the A4 might be kind of boring to look at, but the thing can move.

If only our cars were the mages of WoW, they would only see buffs for a long while until ghostcrawler leaves, maybe even that turbo buff everyone keeps QQ about.

But, if it was riot, they would just nerf everything until everything is the same, then everyone would be having wet noodle races and every 5 minutes someone would be telling you to kys.

Probably some sort of perpetual motion machine in the clutch pack.

And overboost to 20 psi +, probably.

Damn germans defying the laws of physics, they probably also fused the brake caliper with a turbo mechanism to propel the rotors, in turn propelling all drive wheels so that when braking is finished, speed can continue. I must now buy an Audi TT

I met a Cobalt SS on my way back home a few weeks back. I'm stopped at a light and he pulls up, starts reving with his fart can exhaust. I figured I'd let him be a tool bag, but then a brand new BMW M3 pulls on next to him. Expecting to lose to both of them, I just step off my high horse and join them. The M3 destroys us, as expected. I pull away from the cobalt SS and this old Corolla behind me passes that Cobalt... I was left wondering what that Cobalt driver was doing to accelerate so slowly, but then I just drove off normally knowing he was just there to be loud and obnoxious.

Racing from light to light is atypical for me, I may just rev it once in a while but I never engage in races unless it's an obvious mismatch for fun. I've "raced" a GTR once for example.

I also like to try and keep up when faster cars in front punch it from a stop. I think that's okay provided one doesn't go so far as to get up on their ass after they slow, or make a 'fly by pass,' or anything obnoxious like that. If I'm faster, I ease off. If you are faster, much respect; I know my place is in back.

Ghostcrawler was a lead developer for the game World of Warcraft back in the day. He would make really bad balancing decisions and decided to make everything so bad and weak, but at the same time virtually the same, just every class (ex. mage, rogue, warrior, etc) had a different method of getting to the end result they desired (doing damage).

Then Riot, which is Riot games is the company behind League of Legends, a game I still currently play. They also had a trend of nerfing characters into oblivion making them unplayable and ironically they also hired ghostcrawler a few years back.

Happy with my new exhaust on the way home at night, I took off at a green light full throttle just to hear the thing roar! Vrrrrroooooooo!! But still just barely over the speed limit (50).

Didn't really pay attention to who was beside me at the light, but the cars from the light now behind me EXCEPT! Lo and behold a friggin' 370z with a fresh dealership license plate right
beside me lol passed me by a few feet too! Was funny as hell. Slowed down to speed limit and just cruised until he turned off to the left.

Wasn't trying to race, I just wanted to hear my exhaust! I swear. :P

So there's this online game called World of War Craft, or "WoW" for short. I've never played it, but I know from other games a "buff" is basically an improvement in something.

"Riot" is a game company that made League of Legends, another popular online game, or "LoL" for short. A "nerf" is basically opposite of a "buff", a decrease in effectiveness.

That said, I think what he's trying to say is if the world of cars/performance/tuning was like how things are in "WoW" then everyone would be complaining that everyone else have things that are better than what they have. And if it was more like League of Legends, where all performance gains would be inefficient and pointless, with everyone having the exact same setups, and leaving them only able to complain about other individual drivers directly instead of the setups, since everything is crap/cheap anyway.

A bit of a stretch in trying to decipher that, but yeah...

On the racetrack I want to be evenly matched. On the streets, I'll take the advantage.

Not really a come race me bro thing, if anyone was the aggressor it was probably me.

There was a 2010 SS camaro hauling ass on the streets on the way to the university that I go to. And I just got my tune finished(JDL GTX2867R 10.5PSI) , this SS Camaro was not stock, he said he had headers and an intake. He also had those louvers or whatever its called on his rear windshield.

He was taking off hard af, and he flew by me, so then I went behind him at the next stop light and gave him a bit of space. The light turned green and I caught up to him quick af, but gave him enough space so I didn't rear end him, he saw how fast I was catching up to him and he switched lanes and rolled down his windows and we both looked at each other like "WASSUP MAN!!!!"

We met at the next stoplight and he asked me what I did to my car and I asked him what he did to his car, and long story short we met up on campus and parked near each other.


And that is how we met and became friends.......

I'm from LA....before the twins use to get harassed a lot but now the muscle and import guys know it's pretty slow lol car.

I've had one guy try to race me in my FRS and that was like a 2012 civic si.

Driving my 370z on the other hand...

DR86 10-24-2017 09:38 PM

Hey guys,, back from the ORT
driving to work one day I got to play a charger with 392 badge on it
(whatever that is)
he got beside me and matched my speed then smashed the gas when i didn't take the bait..
HE WAS GONE!! like a bat outta HELL!! (like half a football field gone)
I didn't chase him cause I figured the show was over, and my light modded stock 2.0 couldn't even try against that monster.... in a straight line.

Well further down the road. I pass him leisurely.

This guy, looked at me, and I could smell the stink eye.
so.
he gets behind me on this curvy road I know tooo well
I DRIVE IT ERRYDAYYYYY!(my playground)
I catch every horny driver here. few have the handling.
I decided to see what it had //low traffic//GOOD turns.. up ahead
The best part was in 2nd gear the true turns came..
He kept up pretty well with me until then..
braking/wrestling that heavy ass car on a low speed curve..scary
He probably shit in his pants!!
I wasn't even at 7/10ths and I lost him.
Moral of the story
Every steel horse is bred for a purpose.
:burnrubber:
and the legend lives on.

A silver 15-17 WRX tried to drag race me at a red light last night like an asshole. This guy pulled up beside me, didn't try to instigate a race or anything like that, but then as the green hit, peeled out with a bunch of tire squeal.. This is like the 4th time in 2 small months that people have tried to drag race me lol.

I don't know if it's my rear light silhouette that triggers people or what, 17 86 is so sexy.

A slammed late 90s Civic hatch with a fart can tried to race me from a stoplight. I told him I was turning right at the next light to get onto the highway and he said OK. Light turned green, I accelerated normally and I just hear him stall. I turned right and merged onto the tollway and move into the left lane and I hear his fart can come up behind me, pull onto the left shoulder to pass me (on an empty toll road), and then take the next exit to get off the tollway.

StraightOuttaCanadaEh 11-12-2017 02:42 AM

Goddamn 911 Turbo, a convertible too for that extra douche status behind me on the highway and both of us are stuck behind some slow cars. So I'm like I got you bruv, Ima overtake and we can go fast. So I do that and I'm doing pretty obscene speeds and this guy just zooms past me as if I'm standing still and proceeds to cut me off and stay right in front. We both ended up at our destination at the same time too, despite him taking the express. Like wtf, take your 540 AWD auto bs car and go race someone your own size. What am I gonna give you with my 162 whp??? Can't wait to put a supercharger with a small pulley on this bitch and give these bastards what for

That’s hilarious.
I actually had the opposite once.

Pulled up at a light on my motorbike (just cruising casually in a residential neighbourhood). Some dude in a Porsche pulled next to me, starts giving me the look, and nodding his head.

So I thought cool, Let’s play.
Sat at the light revving and looking all race like... but when they went green I pulled off at a nice leisurely pace while he was all smoke and wheel spin.

The cars around me were laughing their asses off & so was I in my helmet.
Best drag race I’ve ever lost :bonk:

Got another one.
Removed my clutch spring last night and took the car out for a spin to decide if i like it (spoiler: yes).

Came up to a stop light and this white WRX pulls up next to me. Young guy that obviously wants to race so i figure ill send him on his way and get back to my own buisiness. As the light turns green i give it a bit more throttle but accelerate normally. I look back and see he stalled at the light :bellyroll:. The DRLs on recent subarus turn off when you stall, so its pretty obvious. He starts his car up again and flys past me over a hill and out of my view easily doing 20 over. About half a mile later i see him on the side of the road with flashing red and blue lights behind him. Just not this guys day.

A pack of sport bikes came up behind me in traffic last night. They were doing the normal zipping back and forth in lanes as bikes often do and as usual, I was too.
Not cutting anybody off but just going much faster than the flow without interfering with others driving. One was doing a wheelie which is always fun to watch.
So I'm getting kind of ahead at "the game" since they are sort of staying together as a pack but I sense they know I'm keeping ahead. We come up to the next light
and one then jumps in close behind me one car back. I left pretty quick and he blasts past everybody catching up but not passing me. He kind of drops back when
speeds were pretty high up there. Then we get up to the next light and all the rest of the pack catches up. This time though they all just start splitting lanes almost
touching the mirrors of cars they're passing and severely cut off the few cars ahead of us and all rocket away. I was sort of egging them on but think I angered them
slightly and they had to show me who's the boss.

I had CC on the way to work like I always do, and I just change lanes to pass those who are slower...and I guess I must have pissed off some kid in a WRX with his left headlight out. He tried passing me and nearly hit a car beside me as he tried to get in front of me. Traffic started to slow as we entered the tunnel and he zipped by, and once he got past, me he drove with his hazards on for the length of the tunnel and disappeared. I can't catch a break! When I drive the truck, people leave 10 car lengths in front of them and step on their brakes when the car a mile and a half in front of them step on theirs. When I drive the FRS, EVERYONE wants to race.

Maybe he was just late for work or simply drives like that all the time. Seems like it wasn't just you he was trying to get ahead of. No indication he was attempting to race you at all in that story.

That's a possibility, but it didn't seem like he was in a rush until I passed all the slower cars squatting in the fast lane. I try my best to woosa when people drive like that. Another one that really gets me is when people are texting and playing on their phones while driving 75mph+.

The odd racer boy is a doosh... but I still love driving my car. Letting someone else’s actions or behaviour affect your own ain’t no way to live.

I had a murdered out TL accelerate quickly from behind and change lanes to get next to me, only to match my speed for a few seconds before speeding off. He must have heard my exhaust and assumed I was driving aggressively. I just kept cruising along because I didn't feel like waking everyone up within a square mile at 7AM.

p1l0t 12-01-2017 01:05 PM

A WRX was slowly creeping up to me on a striaght. I moved over to let him pass. All the way over to far right lane hugging the inside of the turn. He let off the gas though on the outside while I was still accelerating on the inside of the turn, lol. He lost too much ground to regain it in the next straight before his exit. Too bad guy, better luck next time.

I'm going pretty fast on the highway in center lane of 3, and going faster than most cars around me. STILL had a guy in a big ass pickup closing up behind me, then he darted to the right lane to try and cut me but he had to slow down because a van that was going much slower than I was, was now in front of him. I cruise past and he's forced to lose 3 car spaces behind me.
