Well on the drag strip, Early 2000's Mustang Gt, Turboed Mazda 626 (3 different color body parts LOL), and another tC. I ran a 14.7 best that day.

On the autocross track, numerous Civics, an STI, an EVO, numerous 4 doors etc.

My last event, I finished 54th out of 127. Not to shabby for having crappy tires and roasting them on every straightaway because weight transfer sucks without the LSD.

I've gotten into quite a few semi road rage races on the highway.

One night a Ford Ranger was tailing me at night and I had my cruise control set to 55 mph in a 45 mph zone. I maintained my speed until he floored it to pass me on the right. Just to toy with him, I let off my gas to get him side by side with me and gas it and he gassed it a little more, but just couldn't pass me. Later down the road, the lanes close back to one, so I get enough ahead of him and he's tailing me. I reduce my speed and I see a cop waiting up ahead and he's about to make a u-turn.

I was about at least 15 mph over the speed limit when the cop saw me and the Ranger tailing me. The cop get's behind the Ranger and flips his lights on. I continue to drive along as the Ranger is pulled over.

Has anyone raced an Nissan Altima 2.5 S? They are rated 175 hp at 5800 rpm and 180 ft lbs at 4000 rpm and they weigh about the same. It seems like it would be a good match. I've driven them and they feel faster than the stock tC.

never raced an altima 2.5s. But the altima SE-R is one sexy vehicle.

I raced a 1995 Maxima from a light thinking I'd pull past him, but I lost. It wasn't a kill, but I lost. So I looked up the specs on the 95 Maxima and they have a v6 with 190hp at the crank. Overall, he had more hp to the wheels and he pulled ahead. If I hadn't underestimated him, it would have been a closer drag.

This is actually kinda sad. I toyed with a Dodge Neon.

He had those washer nozzle lights that glowed red and his car looked like crap. I wasn't even thinking about messing with him until he did the slow fly-away manuever (flooring his gas to show he has an engine)

So we get to a red light and I hear him flooring it hoping that he can do something and I blow past him. So I let off my gas and do it over and over and he keeps trying. Poor guy.

hahaha, nice................I've been at lights with guys in cars like that trying to race me. One was a green eclipse, with blue paint mixed in there too (95-99ish)....bubble style eclipse. We came to a light and he kept power braking b/c he had an auto.......haha. I looked over and got him all excited b/c I was going to race him and I was talking trash and all that shit........haha. Well, I had my radar detector on and it was reading a 3/5 for Ka. I had it on mute so I could see it, but not hear it. Well, when the light turned green, I pretended to shift into gear as he pealed out.....hahahahahaha. Red and Blue was on his a** in about 5 seconds. I just coasted by and honked my horn and waved.

I know, I'm an a**. hahahah

Coming off the 198 ramp onto 95 N I had a WRX on my butt pacing me. I got an open lane and he got all the way over in another. He was about 3 lengths behind me off the ramp and after I got in the lane I was in, he was about 1/2 in front. I punched it into 4th and slammed the redline into 5th. We both held together for a bit, about 10-15 seconds, and then came to a hault in traffic. He put his window down and yelled across 3 lanes saying nice run. hahaha, it was fun holding with him. It was a regular, stock WRX....maybe 04ish.

hahahaha, that sux. Around my area, I've got a bunch of people with all type of imports and domestics that will race parked cars. It's amusing to sit at a McDonald's on one road and watch these people go at it. Never seen such POSs have that much fun. It's hilarious.

I always find the guy with the Honda Civic and SDS (small dick syndrome)

I'm just cruis'n at 50 mph on a 40 mph road. Anything faster than that and you're looking for a ticket. The Honda tailgates before thinks he's going to zoom past me and cut me off.

I got him side by side with me and checked to see if he could pass, but it was like watching the Special Olympics, the challenged boy couldn't run. Finally he did the old, "I need to slam my brakes because I almost missed my turn manuever." and disappeared.

On the topic of Hondas.....not against them, but another story of one.

On a back road near my house, it's about a 1/4 to almost 1/2 mile straight. A civic was trailing me for about 2 miles prior to this road and we both know you can pass on this road since it's broken yellow. Well, come to find out, it's an 04ish 2 door civic. Well, I slow down b/c i know he's going to try and fly by and do whatever. Well, he goes for it but I swear I could count almost to 10 before he went from my back bumper to my front bumper. hahaha.........When he got to my front bumper I was going about 50, so I punched 3rd and floored it and left him in the oncoming lane about 2 car lengths back. It came to a 30 mph area into a community so he tailed me the whole way through it as I was going 32 mph . Gotta love the kids who think the car name will make the car fast. Pathetic. Oh, his windows were about 5% though so doesn't that help?

lol, damn slow as ballz civic owner fanbois, especially the ones with the 4drs. one actually tried racing me. i was in the first lane, he was in the third. light turns green, he peels out, i drive normal. the civic is trying really hard then i turn to my 2 friends in my car with me and im like, wait, i think he was really trying to race me?!?!? so floor it while im in second, catch up, hes still trying to be persistant, then i shift to third, and the 3 of us just turn our heads and watched him fall behind quickly. then stuck my head out the window and was like, "MY I-VTAKK > YOUR REGULAR OLD VTAKK!!" lol, not really but i shouldve.

Saturn LS300 (I think....the V6 model saturns...not sure the badges) and an 06 Audi A4 (new body). Both autos.

Both were at a light and I pulled up behind the saturn b/c he had been passing me and tapping his brakes for about 5 miles. Light is green and they take off slow so I pay no attention but then both take off. WELL......I go for it and in 4th at about 80, I pass the Audi and by 5th at 105 I am on the saturn's bumper about to touch. I was still pulling and that saturn was definately coming up fast when I let off the gas...........I just said whatever and knew that I got them both. They both flew by after that and I just dropped back down to 55.

Okay know this is funny… I’m at a red light and an old ugly looking geo 2dr pulls up next to me and I’m like that’s an ugly car. I started to hear the guy rev the engine kind of quite but deep exhaust. So the light turns green; me just to be an a** launch thinking that I left the guy way back there; wrong! This Geo was right up to me and messing with me you know tapping the gas wanting me to go faster… At the next red light I find out this guy installed a 1999 eclipses turbo engine with like 400 HP. Krazy car.
