I was coming home from the gym with a buddy and there was a red light. I was in the right lane and right after the light, the road was merging from 3 to 2 lanes. There was a newer red eclipse next to me. I thought I would just speed up a little and pass it but the girl gunned it, probably thinking "you're not getting in front of me" I put it in second and put about 3 cars on the eclipse before merging. It wasn't even a race, I was just speeding up and shifting at 4000 rpms while she was probably flooring it.

Anyway, a few seconds later, a newer Lexus RX300 went by me going 65 in 50. I matched his pace not thinking about racing him. I got another red light and I look over and this guy is looking at me. I nod and so does he, so I just turn my head back to the street. When the light turns green, he floors it and I slowly ease into it because I didn't know if there were any cops at this intersection. All this time, my friend who's sitting next to me is laughing. Once I knew I had traction, I floored it and put at least 6 cars on him by 55. Meanwhile, as I was passing him, I hear someones tires chirping behind him. This Talon merged into my lane but I put about same amount of cars on him as I did with the Lexus. When I slowed down to 50, the talon zoomed by me. I was confused as fuck, was he trying to race us? If he was, he did a piss poor job because he had problems keeping up with an SUV.

After he passed me going about 20 over speed limit, I didn't do anything. It wasn't worth trying to play catch up with this guy. He went into the left turn lane and did a U-turn. I seriously wonder what he was trying to do. If he really wanted to race me, he would have slowed down, but he just zoomed by me 5 seconds after I had put at least 5 cars on him.

I know this wasn't anything big, but I got pissed off once again. Some people just don't know what they're doing. First that WRX guy last week who flashed his hazards long after I had slowed down, and now this guy who zooms by after losing by so much and making a U turn at the next light.

Hopefully I can find someone who knows how to race around here.

 

Uh, good races ??? The, uh, heavy SUV with a smaller engine was a good kill.

 

Well, "heavy SUV" weighs only about 150 more lbs than our cars and makes more hp than the IS300 that everyone talks about. And second of all, I wasn't trying to brag about this win. I didn't think that I was gonna lose or anything, I was just trying to put the guy in his place because he was thinking that he's faster. It's not like I was preparing for a big race or anything, just posting what happened. Anyway, we always hear about people kiling civics and other ricers so this Lexus is more in our class than those other kills that are posted.

 

 

Oh and I forgot to mention, dude Seattle, you shouldn't even talk. I read one of your posts where you raced a Ford Ranger, yes, a slow truck that's as heavy as the SUV and has a smaller engine than the Lexus, and you couldn't even overtake him. That was probably before the SC, but either way, my point is, if you did the same thing, why would you try to make fun of others?

 

Wow, didn't realize I'd get such a stir out of you. Sorry about that, I didn't mean to offend. ...And yes, you are correct about my post about the Ranger - but it is a little different since I actually LOST to it. That is why I posted it. If I had won, I wouldn't have bothered.

 

And BTW, my SC'd car can't put 6 cars on anything by 55mph if they were trying to race...especially if you rolled into it for traction's sake. Not trying to start a fight.

 

You stated a newer RX300, that would be the RX330. Or if it was an RX300 it wasn't a newer one. However, if it was an RX300 it would still be at least 250 lbs more not to mention a 4AT and runs mid 8's to 9 seconds 0-60.

Not soemthing worthwhile IMO.

 

6 cars eh.....you must have the fastest CL-s in the world to put that many

 

he must have looked at the pass side mirror "objects in mirror are closer than they appear"
