Pretty similar around a track too. I was doing basically identical lap times and occasionally being held up by an RS4 with good driver on track. The guy was a bit of a dink because he wouldn't give me a point by despite riding his *** for a lap.

similiar performance to the Z except they have an extra 2 doors

If the air qquality is good and you have a 7at Z, 4.6 is totally achievable.

I had a scion busta try to rice me. I mean race me... I was changing gears and moving quick when he got amped and his fartcan began blowin gas. He was endangering people on the street left and right. I'm totally losing respect for scion owners. It seems they grow on corn stalks. Corn and rice go well together?

Next time someone tailgates you really badly just flash your hazards!

It works everytime for me

Hambone1 · 05-10-2011, 06:54 PM

The whole concept of Scion was largely rice to begin with. Even now, few of their offered mods from the dealer have anything to do with performance, only the TRD stuff.

cfweber · 05-10-2011, 07:13 PM

not that I ever exceeded a speed limit

BUT 4th at even 6k rpm is way up there

and this is the entrance ramp?

that's what I call merging!

I know Toyota's. The TRD stuff has been less performance since 2005 with the introduction of Scion. Even their springs are pretty much Eibach springs painted Red. At least their coilovers are reliable, but don't expect a drop or stiff track performance. All it matters is gold, silver, and red trims on the car to call it TRD.

At one of our meets in VA we had a kid pull up in a Scion TC with a fart can and do a ricer flyby. As he was leaving the shopping center, he was pushing the car as hard as he could up a hill and then you see a minivan right next to him pass with ease.

I had a couple of idiots in a civic try to get me to race in the middle of rush hour traffic. I don't know where the hell they wanted me to race to. I'm thinking now maybe they just wanted to see my car in action or hear me rev it. I might do something similar if I saw like a Lambo/Ferrari on the road, but I would start with a thumbs up and see if the other guy wanted to do it too.

Some people are just stupid there i said it...........

I had a guy switch over two lanes to get next to me last week in a c6 vette.
He lowered his window and just gave me that look. You all know what i'm talking
about. I just looked the other way......Damn dude i know your c6 can smoke me.
But i did pay 20 grand less than you did. and can stand toe to toe with you in
the looks and handling department...........

I would do that if I saw someone else in a 370Z or any other really nice car, but replace the look with a

Hell yeah me, too. I had a 2011 STi come up and give me the thumbs up. I hate the ricers though. . . especially the ones with their I'm so cool S2000's.

Back on topic; if someone tailgates you, let the windshield spray loose. They'll definitely get the mist all over their car. It's so hilarious to see their windshield wipers go off while they back off.

Also, I'm not trying to turn this into a vs. thread or anything, although it will likely end up that way. I just hate it when people tailgate like that or people try and race you on public roads. This was probably a boring story you see once a week, but a las, I bored and have nothing better to post about

@kenchan: People who drive Honda Fit(s) just wouldn't understand. Here's your charburger and fries.

After i read this i texted him and was like where u playing w a z last night and he goes why. so i told him about this lol.
