Too many Civics, 350z, G37, other BRZ and FRS. Still fun to mess around out on the road!

First day I took her back on road and already got the attention from mustangs and not just one, but two turbo diesel trucks! I was at a red light and didn't know there were two trucks behind me. I had the habit of revving first then engage the clutch and the occasional rev-matching, which makes a lot of noise haha.. I guess those trucks got the wrong message or something. One of them sped up from behind, got on the right lane and yielded if I "want to have a go". I kept my cool and ignore them but one just won't stop revving next to me.. So, at the last light before a straight-away, I decided to play and see what they'll do. Holded the pedal down in launch control like I'm ready to go on the green. Boy, those trucks are not holding back at all.. All I see was a puff of diesel smokes, tires screeching and both are at it haha. I just laugh all the way home.

I've had v6 mustangs from like 08-11 pace me, it's probably because the exhaust attracts em

Yeah, it's definitely the deep growl and grunt from my ARK-Grip haha.. Sounds like a V8 to the untrained ears.

The '05 - '10 Mustang V6 had 210 hp and 240 lb/ft in a 3400 lbs car. They probably are just excited for someone they finally feel faster than.

I totally agree with you, I’ve had randomn people ask me if my red car is a Ferrari lol and I’ve had “OH IS THAT THE NEW SUPRA OMG!!!” I don’t mind them thinking I got money like that but I’m broke... If they only knew my 86 only makes 176 stock 😔 point being people do and say stupid shit, ignore and keep cruisin

Bwaha ain't no way they feel fast

Here's something new.. A decent looking Mustang, a lifted Ford F150 and a Genesis, all wanted to race. Like one after another within two miles of stop & go traffic.. I really need to ditch this exhaust lol

carsebuco · 10-15-2018, 03:40 PM

Trucks keep trying to race me but I don't think they realize by the time they've reached the next light I'm still trying to get out of first gear... E85 (e60) only does so much, ya know...

Irace86.2.0 · 10-16-2018, 08:37 PM

Getting a lot of the Sport model versions of the Civics n Accords lately. Tailgating and doing flybys.

DarkPira7e · 10-23-2018, 03:52 PM

I had a lifted , spray painted rust brown CR-V (early 2000s model) tailgating me. They had it floored as they coasted past me while we merged onto the interstate with their ice blue HIDs reminding me to wash my windshield. Wow. I actually felt like a bad person for letting them pass me, they must have gotten up to 60MPH in the 55 before I stopped watching them blind other drivers.

It was raining out and I was coincidentally accelerating at about the same speed as a tesla. My traction control light came on he took off down the road. I just gave up.

Haven't had anyone trying to race me yet. Surprising given that I live in Houston lol Honestly wouldn't really react though. I know I'd get my ass whooped in a straight line, but at least I know who's having more fun driving their car lol

12 AM, doing a bit of spirited driving on the way home. I could not care less for the optima beside me - didn't even notice him. But apparently he got offended that I was faster in the turns. He passes me on a straight, cuts me in front and brake checks me.

Irace86.2.0 · 11-02-2018, 03:25 AM

I was filling up with e85 today and a guy in an E46 BMW pulls up and says, "you wanna race em". I was like, "Na man, I'm good." Who trolls for races at gas stations at 4:30pm?
