Default Do I have a number on my car?

Why is it that when some punks see that you have exhaust on your car they want to race. My muffler is the only obvious thing I've changed. Rather have that sleeper look. CAI, short sft. adpt. and 2 1/4" exhaust with no res. No APC muffler welded to a stick of 1 1/4" pipe. I think that's so gay just cutting your stock muffler off and replacing it. Leaving all the rest of the stock exhaust. Even know I did it when I was like 17 with a muffler from a Kaw. ZX-10. Didn't sound worth a flip. Annnnnnyway, I was going down the road last night just cruising along and two punk kids roll up on me in a new turboed neon with 30 day tags. They get even with me and kick it enough to pull away, passenger looking at me all retarded like. then let off, then kicked it one more time so that I could here his BOV. I know that they a quick cars and would leave mine in the dust, for now. But what's the point? Civic hater. Guess he wishes it was a turboed VTEC. No disrespect to anyone but if I wanted a jacked up Dodge I'd get an 67' Charger, not a 05'neon. Why do they sit so friggin high in the back anyway? Rear blocks? lol. Just thought I'd ask.

they sit that high to help prevent the weight transfer on launch..which, in theory helps to launch the car...ive driven a few of them, and it doesnt help any....the first thing most SRT4 owners do is drop them to a normal ride height, then put solid mounts in...

What you need to do is plaster a bunch of stickers on your car. That way, everyone will figure it's only "riced out" and they'll leave you alone.

Arrrgg, I wish you had like 18psi on a built JDM D so you could have just spooled his *** up and left him with $30,000 buyers remorse.

for 30,000 you could have a well built stage 3 SRT-4, with suspension work, wr, and good tires...

and there wouldnt be much room for remorse...
