are FRS drivers all d-bags?

VQ370ZTT · 04-25-2013, 08:53 PM

I just have to throw this out there.. Everytime im out driving around minding my own business, and I come across an frs, they have to do some ricer fly by.. I dont understand.. It pisses me off. Are a majority of frs/brz owners like that, drive like a-holes trying to show off? FYI, I dont street race.

I was thinking the same thing. I was at a stop light and a dude in the other lane turns out and as he is about to drive by he felt the need to rev at me and stuff. A lot of them Seem a little butt hurt.

I feel yah

I have nothing against the cars, from what I understand they can perform well in the handling department. Just not a fan of most of the owners..

I agree they try to the same to me, And BC i'm a LEO I flash my badge and shake my head, and they get all jaw droppd and put it into a high gear and creep down the road. its funny how quick they dont want to race any more. ..

nmjaxx9 · 04-25-2013, 09:20 PM

My buddy has a frs hes a chill guy.

But his friends with a mazda 3 and boosted honda tried "runnin" me last night.

Sad to say ive never seen a bigger bunch of cornballs in my life.

Haha. I could only imagine the looks on peoples faces. Im a LEO as well for Memphis, though I have never done this before lol.

Anyway back on topic, most of the FRS guys have I met have been really nice here. I havent run into any douches.

I said on this forum back in 2009 that no matter who you are there is always someone that thinks you're a douchebag. It's just the way it is. For the most part the ft86 guys I've come across have been cool. There are always bad apples.

I guarantee there is currently a thread on some FR-S forum about all Z drivers being dbags.

Frankly the FR-S/BRZ isn't even on my radar. It's about two tiers too low to really register with me. Same tier as Miatas and RX8s and Civic Sis.

There is.

Apparently we envy their maneuverability and telepathic handling and braking.

No. Seriously, even tho' its significantly slower, takes more room to brake, and can't turn nearly as well as alleged, we are all envious villains in their lil fantasy world

However, it is a bit faster around a track than a 350Z (at least the earlier models). Maybe they can turn their potential for douchery towards them...

RonZwanson · 04-26-2013, 08:15 AM

I got a big time fly-by from a Civic Si the other night. I wish the dude could see me yawning as he did it. (Literally, it was just a coincidence, but I was yawning.)

Am I the only one who has this problem with GTI owners more than anything else? Maybe it's a regional thing...

Sometimes they throw out a rev just to get your attention and hope that you rev in response so they can check it out. It's like dogs sniffing each other's balls, or trying to get a semi to airhorn ya.

I often get the 'oooh-look-at-that-car--roll-down-the-window-so-I-can-hear-it' reaction.

Sometimes the kids in Scions, Civics, etc. are just being friendly and want to see/hear your car run.

On what track is this???? The FR-S is slower around the track than the Gencoupe 2.0T and beats the civic si hfe or whatever its called by a few milliseconds. Maybe an old, 350z with 360,000 miles on it thats been getting oil changes with regular oil every 15,000 miles and lost all pressure in the shocks. lol

A new FRS is probably faster around a track than a used DE 350Z with nankangs.
