Make SUVs slow again.. so I don't have to hear launch control on a fkn X5 50i //Mmmmmm Package because the douche wants to race the rice king, I'm literally just trying to get home alive and these SUVs trying to make 2g turns at 30 km because weight is risking my safety!!!!

Don’t sleep on those SUVs. The M models have surprisingly amazingly good (for an SUV) handling and power. The X5 is a quite bulky; but the X3 is small enough to drive aggressively. My wife’s X3 on sports mode can almost stay with my BRZ on turns; on straights they’re the same up to 90 but then the X3 picks up; from a dig the X3 destroys my BRZ (even with a good launch).

You might change your opinion on how good they handle when you see them at a track event.. And then there are those X6 M that people seem to legitimately think is a sportscar, while they attempt at making a 10 g turn before they do a barrel roll.

SUVs are out of control.

SUVs are meant to be feared around here. They are like sharks in a pond, everywhere you look there is at least one SUV with 44000 hp and a teenage girl ready to crash it and go "oops, hehe, I'm so clumsy", or the 40 year old man that bathes in cologne trying to date those very same teenage girls.

Boosting this platform was probably the best decision ever, all these cars initiated a race, I don't like initiating that kind of stuff but i'll take part of someone wants to:

- Turbo MazdaSpeed3 (All I could see was a silver aftermarket intercooler): Bus lengths on the highway
- 328i (Crackle tune, wow): Nothing to be proud of, they're slow as hell
- Full-bolt on, catless downpipe, exhaust, tuned 2016 STI: Proper roll race, beat him by half a car, these things are quick
- 2015+ Mustang GT: Bus lengths on highway
- Porsche classic from the 70's, no idea what model: Normally would just go gaga over it because it's an iconic car, but the old guy made eye contact with me and went full-throttle so I did too, bus lengths

Out of all these, only the Mustang driver was pissed off that I walked him, I tried to give a thumbs up after and he just exited the high way, people need to lighten up

A large portion of muscle car owners are extremely insecure. Micro pp problems.

mustangs are my absolute most favorite car to calmly pass. they're so easy to troll

I think Silverados and F-150's have a speed limiter at about 98 mph. And Dodge Ram is about 105.

So if big trucks are giving you trouble just drive faster heh.

Yikes, imagine being speed limited and not drag limited like the rest of us slow folks.

In high school, I learned ford rangers hit the limit at 98mph. Then it chimes angrily, the fuel cuts off, and the service engine light comes on.

It was terrifying when it happened.

Around here half of the SUVs are unmarked or stealth marked cops.

Yes they have a max speed limit but with the gobs of power and torque they have they get to that limit very very quickly. By the time they hit it they are gone.

Horrifying. Isn't there a bit of a crackdown going on over there?

The 3 liter barely had enough power to do burnouts. One wheeler peeler.
