still not use to it...

AlBel1214 · 12-18-2008, 10:47 PM

I have had the car almost 7 months now and still almost every day I have anyone from some kid in a civic to a mid 40 year old in a acura TL pull up next to me and honk the horn or downshift trying to get me to race them.... I look at them and when they take off I just wait for the cops to pull them over....

It is still odd to me never really having a car in the past that made people react like that!!...

The best part is 9 outta 10 times it is a car the 1 would straight put to shame on the track... :headbang:

I've had my car since July and only 1 person has tried to race me. It's kind of a bummer. I wish more people would try to entice me to race. I just want to see what kind of cars people think can outrun mine.

The car does raise the worst out of some people. I haven't had someone rev on me as frequently as you have but there are few bad apples out there. I rev in kind and watch them take off. =)

The other day I passed an Audi RS4 doing 130 mph, he did not like it. He passed me by, I did nothing, 5 minutes later he was being ticketted by the polizei.

MOCKBA · 12-19-2008, 12:46 AM

So anybody won a race? I do not believe 135 can't beat Honda.

while we're at it i was doing 140 in a school zone when this R8 pulled up beside me...

I was driving on the freeway and a Mercades passed me, so i punched it to 88 MPH then all of a sudden i was in 1985...

Well he lives in Germany. Certain stretch of the freeway is unlimited, but we dont really know where he was speeding

I had someone in a newish Comaro (late 90s/early 2000s model) try to race me. I ended up beating him but it was close and we got up to ~70 in a 35 before he backed off, so it wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done. Plus it scared the shit out of my wife who was in the car with me at the time.

Other then that though I haven't really seen anyone try to race me. And if they have I didn't notice.

Folks,

Please remember 1ADDICTS does not condone street racing nor allow threads or posts recounting street racing foolishness. The spirit of this thread was plainly presented by the OP, the thread was never about outrunning some anonymous fool in some ill-advised street race, the thread was about being challenged by said fool to said irresponsible street race, then, calling upon appropriate adult judgment to not engage in same. This thread is closed.

Thank you.

OP, should you wish to have another go, please do so, with any luck the new thread will not drift from it's original intent.:smile:
