But my friends' cars are all modded especially my buddies RSX and Tc. But the buddy that drives the S2000 has such a big head I don't know how to combat him sometimes

He would say "OH you got boxer engine and your car is light. My car has VTEC and is more balanced than your car will ever be and I'm faster than you stock" and I'm like what the fuck sometimes, mainly because I don't think I could beat an S2000 in a curvy road anyways. Like what the hell am i going to say to him "Oh well that's a nice backseat you got there....oh wait."

But yeah that was totally off topic but yeah ever since my buddy got his S2000 his ego is just out there I noticed he'll never pick on my friends Turbo RSX or Turbo Tc and he damn sure isnt gonna mess with my buddies stock turbo Genesis Coupe (2014)

Tell him you're going to trade in your BRZ for a brand new 2014 S2000...

That is a bad catalytic converter.

Pick a better friend .

Once I got my FR-S I noticed most people who do this only pick on you knowing they can beat your car. People are usually more humble when I'm driving around in my IS300.

Was at a stop light next to a beat up ~30 year old ~1 ton lifted pickup (F250 sized) with a dirtbike in the back.

I motioned to try and convey "cool bike" couldn't even see the driver they were so high up, went to roll down my window and the passenger was grinning. Light turned green before I could get my window down and the truck took off, they probably hit 50 mph in the 35 mph zone and swerved to make it into the left turn lane. I putted off the line like I normally do, sad I didn't get to admire the dirtbike.

Wow lol thanks everyone for the feedback, I love my BRZ to death. I know my car is not made for the straight line which doesn't bother me that much because anybody can go in a straight line, which in my opinion I find it boring. I just would like to thank all you guys, and I wouldn't trade my BRZ for anything unless I somehow got my hands on an STI BRZ lol.

Yes, it's always a car that is somewhat faster (e.g. BMW 328i, Mercedes CLK, Mustangs, even some WRX's), but the really fast cars like Corvettes, M3's, and Porsches don't even bother

I know that feel bro. My Prelude friends keep ragging on me because I want to sell my car and get an FR-S. Idgaf though lol. Told them all to build a bridge and get over it. I pretty much stop hanging out with most of them all together anyways cause this "scene" shit is getting overrated.

Own and Drive what YOU want, not what other people want for you. Power isn't everything and a lot of these kids fail to realize that.

Them: "oh slap a turbo bro"
Me: "F-You, Pay Me"

cant say ive had anyone try to race me in my fr-s. have had girls pull up next to me a few times and comment though, which i much prefer.

Though one time i was in the rx7 and having idle issues and stopped at a stoplight (trying to keep it from stalling). apparently the pos honda in the next lane thought something else. anyway we ended up in a rev contest? he gave up after i revved it to 12k lol. i have no idea why he thought he could out rev a rotary but w/e. mind you we were like 3-4 cars back from the light...

I recently realized something very important about ''friendship''... I have too little time for friends that I actually care about and that I like to spend time with, to be spending time with ''friends'' i don't like. I think your ''friend'' is not your friend, he's just a random douchbag you happen to know.

If there's one thing I think we're allowed to expect from our friends, it's their respect...
