This happened about a week ago but since we got this new section I might as well write about it now. I was coming home from dinner with my family. I met them there and they are behind me on the way home. I pull up to a nismo sentra v spec type whatever and he is looking over at me so I rev on him with my stock exhaust and he revs back with his not so stock sounding exhaust. I turn up my jurassic 5 quality control, and then he takes off while I just sit there. I may have floored it til like half of second but not with mommy and daddy nehind me. I just htought it was funny cause I started it and then didn't do crap with him.

i think my dad would be mad if i didnt race someone that revved on me. we were in the bimmer driving through whatever highway around indianapolis, i would say it was around midnight, trying to find a hotel in a section where the bimmer would still be there come morning. as we are going along, a black neon pulls up along side us, crusing at about 60, and turns on undercarriage neons...the passenger flips me off...and there 2 people in the back seat...my dad is just sitting in slience, until they rev as we are rolling..and my dad says, very calmly, "get em"....so i roll next to the neon and beep once, which he returns then jumps on it...i downshifted, and it was over very quickly...
my mom on the other hand seldom approves....:D

git r done pat! Why would you try to dog a bimmer in a neon? You will be owned like 99% of the time.
And about the cops, you rev at them they will nail you.

I don't understand Neon, Saturn, Sunfire and Cavalier ricers. A Saturn pulled up next to me at a light once and asked if I had V-Tec. Upon my returning silence, he revved his pathetic engine. I decided to start in second, and still put area codes on him. Funny thing was that he came back 5 times.

lollershakes, roflbuger, lmaofries ect. Kinda reminds me of the CRX who flipped me off, told me my car sucked, and then proceeded to say the reason he lost was b/c he broke traction. Which he didnt. We went from a 40mph roll.

thats like the other night when i was rolling down main st with a buddy. there was this 90-something mercury that just would not give up that i didn't want to race. he followed me for about a mile and a half swerving and revving his engine the whole way. i finally decided to get him off my back and dipped into some side streets and did a little autocrossing. lost him pretty damn quick, gotta love the handling of imports :D

there is nothing worse than the cavvy and new cougar ricers...2 cars with no real potential without dumping a Fortune into them...and even then, they are still ugly cars with built engines..at least with the neon, there is the SRT4...but i just dont get the 4 door sports car thing...

yeah, the SRT-4 is prolly the only chance a neon could compete with a bimmer without having thousands dumped into it (and even then bimmers still blow neons out of the water in every other category;))

my bimmer is a 92 and still has nicer interior features than most new cars made in the US...i made, its a 5 series, and its not screaming fast, but its got pretty much endless top end, and its Very smooth.

What I would haev done is what my punkass always does. I go as fast as I can until like 5 before the speed limit. If I am sure I can win I keep on going, if I am losing or am about to lsoe I stop at the speedlimit and I never look back over, jsut casually go about my business. I am such a punkass.
lol bro it doesnt matter if u dont break the speedd limit.......if u accelerate too quickly u can get written for Reckless or careless driving..........u can get a ticket for racing even if u dont break the speed limit.

you can get "speed contest" for never even coming close to the limit. all you have to do is take off hard with someone else.

A few weeks ago an ugly rice prelude with ugly graphic and airplane spoiler can beside me at a light and started revving up their engine so I did too. When the light turn green they went flying down the street while i just drive normal. If you think about it, its kinda funny because u pretended to race and when the light turn green they fly down the street like they stole sumthing and ur just driving normal watching them racing themselve.

You do know thats the same for civics right?

Personally I cant stand punk-asses who rev and dont race. Its lame and disrespectful. If you rev, you need to race. If you dont want to dont give the impression that you do.
U should be able to sit and mellow in the glory knowing tht u have quicker, faster and better car and dont need to race to prove it.

You kids should know NOT to race on the streets. JUST KIDDING! You should always drive like you just stole your car.

haha, yeah i know u have to dump thousands into a civic also to keep up with most bimmers, but most civics also have respectable interior quality and overall workmanship....not to meantion that even if u do dump thousands into a neon and make it fast ur still driving a neon....sorry if i offended anybody by my neon bashing, im just anti-most american cars (with a few exceptions)

the best part about revving at someone, then not racing, is that even after they realize you didnt launch, they still keep on it as far as you can see them. if someone does that to you, launch, then when you realize they didnt, LET OFF!! thats what really makes peopel look like idiots, is going 95mph against themselves.

lol, funny thing is about 2003+ sunfires/cavs is that they will stomp they hell out of a stock civic. With boltons they will continue to stomp a civic. Then you get into the swapping thing and a civic will win. Then the turbo/supercharger thing is dependant on boost, but I'm pretty sure the gm ecotec can take alot of boost. whenever they cobalt ss v2 comes out in late 2005 with the supercharged 2.4 ecotec. That will be a badass factory 240hp "economy" car.

A few weeks ago my friends raced at a stop light to about 40 mph when the speed limit was 35mph. They both got 12 point racing tickets and are do in cour next month. It was kinda funny because it was an EVO vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee. I didnt know you could get a racing ticket in a Jeep.

Ahaha... I disagree about how someone said Cavvys have no potential, With 150 whp and 150 Tq I would say they can be quick. My brother has got a 99' Z24 and its super quick off the line. he got the govener taken off not to long ago and he Can do some rpetty high speeds. But that doesnt impress me as much as Being quick off the line
