What kind of car picks on your T.L the most?

Am I'm not talkin' about civic we encounter at every other stoplight.. What kind of car always seems to want to race you although it's way out of your league... Mine is that damn Sti...It seems either car (my 08 or 03) they have to try to race me,(from a dig of course) knowing I have no chance...it sucks..runner up GTO's

I never get people trying to race me (I wouldn't though, gave it up years ago) and my G doesn't really look stock either. I get people looking, but no one wanting to race. I'm always amazed by all the people on this site and others that constantly find people wanting to race them while they "were minding they're own business". Maybe once I get my wheels on this weekend people will start trying to race me

^ Most people see an older driver and assume that he won't race. I know this not to be true.

I don't think I have any cars that are way out of my league try to race me... Although once a GTO did try, and while I got him going through a turn entering GG Park, we hit a straight and he was gone. He had followed me from Lincoln Way up through MLK Dr., revving behind me most of the way. I was driving slower because of traffic and the lights, but I guess it was too slow for him.

~Cheers~

Besides the civic..sigh.. I would say the 03 Maxima SEs and the newer BMW 335Is. I am always racing them lol. She keeps up with them though. I was only spanked bad by a Ford Expedition...impossible that it was bone stock. That big bit$% was fast.

What do you drive? Regular WRX's aren't all that fast in stock form. They'll run a solid 14.4-14.5, but only trap at around 93-95 mph. From a roll, a 2nd gen Type-S or 3rd gen Base 5AT would be pretty evenly matched. Shit, take away the AWD from the Evos and Subies and they wouldn't be put up on such high pedestals.

i jus recently ran an sti couple days ago. so i would have to say wrx's/sti. I've been fked around with by an s2k. I smoked him tho, sadly.

U guys think with the 17's on, i can keep up with an sti,stock or evoVIII(non MR)? I've held up REAL good last time i raced this EVOVIII, but he jumped ahead of me before the 3rd honk and once i passed his ass he would throw on the blinkers.. he had an exhaust and i dunno what other mods but it wasn't that fast.

I don't know how I would hold up cuz i never raced them... it sucks because it's never on the highway, its ALWAYS from a dig and you know what will happen AWD v.s FWD sti or not i'll get smoked.. However Dave_B gave some good advice on launching an auto so I'm practicing..

I don't get picked on by anybody because my car is bone stock looking besides the headlight tint / drop.

I'm sure if I put on exhaust / rims / anything visible I'd get a little more attention.

I know for a fact that the G35 drivers race you because you can't spell their make correctly.

My friend has a TL auto, I got him to bite one time in my M. I could get him off the line pretty easy. I'm pretty sure he would pull on me on the interstate since my M only topped out at 137. He tells me CTSs try to pick on him the most.

I do get picked on in my little Integra a whole lot more than when I'm in my M3, makes me want to turbo the Teg (or get a B18 swap).

I was at the traffic light just chilling when the red light was on. I was in the left lane and the right lane was empty since the traffic was far behind me. Anyways when the lights are about to hit green and you can tell that by looking at the other traffic lights when it hits amber, I can see this civic speeding up in my side view mirror. And boom when it hit green he just floored it. I decided to go at it caught up to him. He got so pissed and his car was struggling to go ahead of me. I just floor it and left him bus lengths behind and decided to slow down and this guy kept going and does a ricer fly by and I catch up to him and floor it again. The TL manhandled that civic, I love it when that happens.

At the next traffic light we all stop and I pull up beside him and just starred at him, he gave me a nasty stare. The driver was some punk kid with like 4 other gangsters in the car. I wish I had the camera, man you guys should have seen this kids face, it looked like he wanted to rumble with me. Acting all tough. Trying to show off. Geez.

When it hit green I waited for him to floor it and he didn't so I just floored it and left him in the dust.

I could give a $hit how their make is spelled. Car is overpriced, underpowered, slow, harsh ride, sounds weak, and is driven by pompus clowns.

Then when they attempt to race me, or the other 75% of better cars and get walked, they go the the G35 forum for support and comfort, because all is well in that little part of the world for them.

At least the G37 is a little bit better but it will be about 3 more years before the current G35 clowns can afford them and talk the same $hit they do now.

Yeah, it was kind of harsh, but it's so stupid how people with 20k cars think they are so fast, powerful, stylish and they are nothing. I mean my TL is nothing great at all, it's very practical, fun and well equipped. I could care less who thinks they can beat me. Rev at me all ya want, it proves nothing.

There are band wagons out there and all the punks are on one of them
-G35/350z
-BWM 3series
-STI
-Evo
-SRT-4
-Cobalt
-Civics

Give me a break these cars are all nothing special. It will go on forever. Our TL's may not be the fastest, but they do a lot of everything very well, while still being able to outperform most cars old, and new.

G35s are $20K? How are they underpowered? Stock for stock, they rape TLs, and my buddy's STOCK '03 auto has raped 3G TL-S'...

~Cheers~

P.S. Oh, and on topic, Ford anythings for me. They all love to crash into me. The last 4 car accidents I've been in have involved Ford drivers not knowing how to drive and driving straight into me.

Not sure this really qualifies as being "picked on", but I was passing a car on a four laner today at about 65 when I noticed a new style Mustang coming up on me fast. I proceeded to get back over and let him pass and he pulls up alongside and gives me a look, then hits it. It wasn't until I saw the single tailpipe that I realized it was a V6 and I really wasn't about to drop it into third and run him down in the middle of the day, although there was no other traffic on the horizon.

i've had my car 3 months now and there are a gang of cars:

-G35 (which i've beaten quite a few now)
-M5 (this guy was toying around with me...sad)
-3'series (lol)
-5'series (ROFL unless it's the M5)
-350z (usually take them)
-altima 3.5*2.5 (please)
-maxima (np)
-c class (sloooowww)
-cobalt ss
-saturns (i HATE saturns!!!!)
-mustangs (w/e, unless shelby/cobra)

I don't know what it is, but my guess is that ppl don't know how to drive stick too well. I have an auto and only got spanked by the M5.
