Scion FR-S kill (not surprising...)
Well there is an FR-S at a local dealership that everyone and their cousin has been drooling over. Tonight I was out just cruising going to get food and I see it. The guy is driving very "spirited" and theres a dealer plate on it. I figured lets see if he will play. Well he is getting onto the highway, so I decide to follow. He takes off around a bend and up the on ramp, balls to the wall. Well at this time I am about 6 cars behind, I get on it and start reeling him in. By the time I get to the top of the on ramp(1/8 mile or so..) I am already within 2 lengths. I go to the passing lane and proceed to WALK around him. I put about 4 lengths on him up to about 120 and shut her down. I got a buddy that used to work at this dealership so I am gonna see if he can figure out who it was and maybe we will re-run, although I think it would just be a waste of gas. I am stock BTW...

Made me a little upset. Like we say in the south "them are some fighting words". So will someone put on a turbo and beat this guy.lol.

So you were driving 120 on a public highway while racing a guy in an FRS?

Hmm

No.

Street racing is flat out moronic and dangerous. Street racing on a freeway with this car is even more moronic.

i feel like i got dumber after skimming thru that thread

last post said something like "I thought I heard Toyota is coming out with a new FT-86.."

Let see how well that torque steering monster would keep up with an FR-S around a track, you know, where you're supposed to race cars........

Personally, I hate SRT4s.

Yes that last post made me laugh also. Must have been living under a rock in the last 6 months.

First of all, I hardly even see this as a race. The guy in the Caliber SRT thinks he is racing the FR-S, but is the guy in the FR-S? "Walking all over" somebody who is not even really racing you is, well, kinda lame.

And yeah, 120mph on a public freeway is just stupid. Most cops will just throw your ass in jail and you could lose your license.

And lastly, the Caliber SRT has 280+ hp and 260+ ft-lbs of torque. It is going to smoke a FR-S in a straight line race. So I am not sure what this would prove anyway.

And yeah, when I think of fun sports cars, Dodge Caliber SRT is not even on the list... It has the Jeep Compass chasis and you sit up in the car like you would a small SUV... Ughh..

thats cool and all...

but its an SRT-4.


I don't care if it walks a corvette.

SRT-4 was alright as a car when it was the Neon. Dodge killed it when they made an SRT-4 Caliber. Thing is stupid fast, which is exactly that...stupid.

I heard a rumor that an SRT-4 Dart may be on the horizon. Would love to see the Caliber go away, its a failboat of a car.

:word:

Yeah I was like oh, he gets it!

Then

..and then good again

Then lol @

.. Man I hope we don't get like this with our low power Zx6's and maintain our more mature level than those guys and the ones over at the civic foums...


These FWD's lolololololololololololo

I'd be embarassed to be in that forum... It's like the Morris Marina fan club of car clubs...

To be honest, Toyota/Scion/Subbie boards are always a TON more mature than the Dodge or Civic Fanboy boards.

Why should you be upset at some tard on the internet who is doing 120mph on a highway?

Should never let people push your buttons so easily. It leads to stupid decisions and worse consequences.
