I really really dislike those SRT-4s and the kids who drive them. I can handle a Mustangs, Civic, or even those Scion TCs, but SRT-4 owners really rub me the wrong way. The only thing worse than a SRT-4 driver is a Cobolt SS driver.

O god +1 on that !

There are 2 idiots near my sisters apartment complex who have 2 "hooked" up Neons. One is a pitiful color version of the Lemans sunset and the other a retarded blue. Everytime they see me they start reving there engines and I laugh! I think they get pissed because I dont pay them any mind

+1

same here, cobalt ss owners and srt-4 owners really think they have something special in those little turd burglar mobiles. its never worth racing them because theres always some excuse, "i missed second twice, or "my tires werent warmed up" some random bs that just = "my car is slowwwwww and ugly"

350z's here are a dime a dozen. However they are all stock. hence making the step up an even easier one.

you get 'squirrelly' shifting into third w/ no modifications done? I chirp into third if i'm driving hard...but definitely not squirrelly...?

Needless to say I bet he has a chip now... or doesn't sleep on/race Z's anymore..

Those old school S4s blew....My buddy had an imola yellow one. He dumped a good 15-20Gs in that car. It was always in the shop and he was always burning up turbos. Sexy car to look at, but not that fast. All that money he spent on that car and he only had 400whp. The new motor was a much need improvement. I flashed the ECU on the 06 Audi A4 I bought my lady and it makes more power than the old S4 (stock of course). Good kill none the less. I love breaking big headed drivers' hearts. lol.

Back to the topic. Alot of domestic guys underestimate the Z here in Houston. If they don't see an intercooler, they think you're slow. I just work it to my advantage (hidden nitrous). Makes for more money in my pocket and a "for sure" win when I nego. like I'm only pushin 250whp. lmao.

The funniest thing that ever happened to me was a guy in a quad cab silverado jumped me at a stop light. I wasn't even paying attention and he kept looking at me. The light turned green and he squalled his tires and took off. Once I realized what was going on I just stayed right beside him like I wasn't even working until I hit the speed limit and let him keep going. Stupid hicks...

My girlfriend's Dad had seen my 06 Acura RSX once or twice. It wasn't modded at all but it did have the tins, the wing, and the black rims.............very clean car. It was supposed to be my project car but I'd always been in love with the Z and so I said screw it, I'm getting one.

Well, when I first brought the Z to his house he came outside to look at it and said " The other guy used to drive some little car with a wing. Your porshe is alot nicer".................I was like what, I'm the same dude you turd.
