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.

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.

Big difference between an RS4 and an '01 S4...still trying to figure out how OP missed that

Yeah, other than the current gen Audi's, I woudn't be able to tell you which model is which without looking at the badge.

wh1te370z · 05-11-2011, 03:17 PM

Cmike2780 · 05-11-2011, 03:49 PM

Yep, I def think that was him.

kenchan · 05-11-2011, 04:37 PM

next time you see him slam on your brakes and net youself a new amuse rear bumper.

Hambone1 · 05-12-2011, 12:12 AM

Although if they thought it was rigged, a short Google search will show it was premeditated lol

I let off the gas after looking down at the speedo. He let off also as he got next to me, then proceeded to do a ricer flyby after realizing I wouldn't race him. It looked like a late model modded RS4 (B5). I'm surprised how much the Z kept up considering its pretty much stock and the Audi has a hp advantage even in stock form.

Note: Please don't flame. I wasn't racing this guy, but he was trying to incite a race.

Edit: So apparently it was a modded S4 with over 500hp.

He was on your *** until you got out of his way, then he got beside you, you didn't bite, so he hit it and went on his way.

I don't view this as "keeping up" since you physically blocked his path.
