BMW driver, was likely a grunt.
(don't kill me, BMW drivers) Had someone rev the balls out of their engine next to me this morning then peel away on green, I didn't do nothing because I saw the unmarked patrol car behind me Did throw a cheezy smile his way as i floated past further up the road where he had been pulled over

![]() Have a similar story where a Mustang was trying to get me to race on the highway. He got pissed when I didn't take the bait so he downshifted and took off. A little down, I waved with a smile as he was getting written up by the cop. Love the radar detector! |

They do with surprising frequency, usually male, early 20s in a overly beaten up s14, s15 or altezza.
But another surprising fact, 9 times out of 10 if you spot a fairly nice looking modded s15 or similar , the drivers female. Have also spotted a heavily modified GT86, widebody, hood, custom paintwork, nice rims, what looked to be (from the design) hks legamax premium exhaust, and from the rumble most likely uneven length header, cruising on the highway near my house that was also being driven by a (highly attractive) female. |

Toyota Crowns and Nissan Skyline V35's (the ugly as hell ones) almost always in silver, the telltale sign is the small square cutout in the roof where the red light flips over all james-bond like.
Though some just resort to reaching out the window and slapping a magnetic one on the roof! |

I had one a couple weeks ago. It was about 2200 and I was on the way to pick up my wife from work. As I'm driving I notice a primered out WRX wagon a little a head of me. He had a shocker sticker and some other non descript stickers on the back. I pass him doing the speed limit. A couple seconds later I hear a downshift and the rumble of a boxer in high revs to my left. I glance over and see a kid maybe late teens to early 20s looking at me. He nods at me and I nod back. He keeps matching my speed and looking at me. After awhile he took off. Ended up passing a police station but no cops out sadly.

My mate tried to race me in his VW GTi...
The funny part is that he's seriously not a good driver and is actually quite scared of speed, so I revved a little next to him, then laughed as tried to launch from the lights until he got to 60-ish (100kph) and backed off. I just pulled off at normal speed, so he looked like a proper tool.

Driving home on the freeway about last week and a FJ Cruiser was trying to race me and a early 2000's Mustang GT (? Wasn't sure if it was the GT or not). My FRS is completely stock too and it was on a straight lol

Probably would've beaten both stock, the GT when new in 2000 could hit 60 in 5.4-5.6, the 2001 hit it in 6.0 seconds but bearing in mind 15 years of engine wear its probably much higher on the car you saw.
