Whilst sitting at a traffic light behind an Eclipse with Fart Can the fella revved at me a couple of times so I knew what he was up too. There was no one in front of him and I was directly behind. I wasn't planning on racing him just taking off at my usual "just a bit faster than others" speed. Well, when he he revved up and shifted from 1st to 2nd I almost hit him in the rear. My car was only between 2500 - 3000 RPMs. Then when he shifted from 2nd to 3rd I was just getting ready to shift to second. There just ain't no way these guys could hang!?!? I wasn't even driving fast and he couldn't pull away.

 

Gotta love it!!! Can't beat that monster torque.

 

how many ricers with those stupid mufflers and stickers want to race. It seems constant. It makes me wonder if the stickers are really magnets and the fart cans are just bolt on tips. That way they can get mommies Honda home, and take it all off before she sees what junior did?

 

Although the guy in front of you might not have had much except a loud exhaust, some ricer's can be quite quick. Never the less, we're still the ones in the vette.

 

he went into "i feel threatened" mode

 

 

I know I don't belong here, but I couldn't resist this post

I see this stuff all the time with these rapper wannabees in their hondas. It's too funny. I was at a light last week and this little jerk who couldn't have been more then 20 starts revving his s***box. I had my top down and his windows were open so I asked him if he knew what I was driving. This kid gave me the finger!!!

The light changed and of course he left a patch of rubber as I GENTLY eased my car into gear. At the next light he called me a *****. I just smiled. Where I come from originally (brooklyn NY) you can get hurt acting like that kid. I just smiled all the way home. I guess I'm just a *****

 

Another dumbazz ricer put in his place!

 

Just let them have their fantacies. Life goes on and they'd be driving C5s if they could.

 

 

At work in the parking lot was a late model Honda with a giant hole (about 4") cut in a arc at the bottom left hand corner of the rear bumper cover. My guess is that one of those "fart cans" was added and then later removed. However, they left that wonderful hole in the bumper for all of us to admire -

 

Yup, those Fast&Furious movies really f##ked up alot of peoples heads. Especially the 2Fast movie. Just think "rice cookers" out running some serious MUSCLE cars like that C5, Viper, Hemi and the Yenko..not to mention that Saleen Rustang. 120 with the NOS??? These cars can do it 4th.

 

Here in Texas, one would get shot; ya know...since we're allowed to carry!

 

We carry in Florida too.....some of us do and it's all legal!!

 

threatened revving their shyt boxes

thats nothing

i was at trafalgar square, in Londons west end and im on my Ped (vespa) (dont say it) ...anyways im behind a big **** off ferrari(or that other red one, new tho..) ... anyways: HE is 4 cars behind the lights and at the front of the lights is a Suzuki 950 or something...(moto..)

So...Motoboi revs up -- then ...! FerrariBoi Revs!

No shiyt - like little moto can threat a Ferr? -(they both sounded awful! you know that tin can bwaaapwaap) back and forth like 4 times! I was laughing so hard i nearly fell off my Ped

JUST WHY FERR? why would you let him bait bait bait you?



as for Fast & Furious ...The RX7 was there, and they arent to be triffled with

there is a little known race called the James Hardie 12 Hour (endurance racing) i think its called, in Australia, these RX7's (still in production in Japan and for sale in Australia) won against BMW's , Porsche, NSX, Maserati, and of course the Ricers..., Holden (GM) Commodore's (LS1 , worked) ...anyways they cleaned the track 1992 1993 1994 1995 stopped (tought to beat em? cancel the event)

You obviously don't know much about motorcycles. I'm not even on a real fast bike and my Honda 954 will take a Ferrari until it tops out.... that's over 170mph. I don't know how much more the Ferrari will go but at that point, it's too far behind to matter...

How do I know??? Ahhhh, nevermind.

no, no , you misunderstand - moto's have the thrust equal to that of a rocket -- nothing faster - nuff said

but a guy just Revvin at the lights ....and then Ferr REVVIN Back.... it was just too much!

 

Case in point. I'm out in the Z06. Guy in a Hyundai Tiberon pulls beside me.
He had the front clip partially removed and I could see the huge intercooler. He revs a little bit, and it wasn't a fart can sound but a deep roar, kinda throaty. I rev back. The light turns green and we go at it. Speed limit was 55 so i figured top of second and I quit. He made his 1-2 at about 20, but was real close to even. He made his 2-3 shift at my 1-2 and I only had him by a car. I started to pull on him decently by that point so I let up at around 65.
He was nice about it and waved and gave me a thumbs up.
We both pulled into Wal-Mart and he parks by me.
Turns out he has a supercharger and a 50 shot of nitrous, plus cams, intake and a billion other things. The car on Drag tires runs low 12's. He said he loves to beat Vette's, F-bods, and Mustangs, but really loves to beat other ricers because the really look down on his Hyundai. Then they get pissed and stupid when he beats them.

 

All I know is rice is usually L O U D !!!!!!

 

If you think all Corvette can eat rice, try these for a change...souped up Supra, RX-7, 3000 GTVR4, and 300ZX. Of course, I mean the newer model like '94 and up. See one of those thing on the street, don't laugh, some are serious business.
