^^^Yes, those Altima drivers believe the Nissan "Race Car Fake Out" TV commercials are true. Kinda sad...
It's so true. Ever since this thread I laugh quite a bit when I see them all attempting to zip and cut across 3 lanes to end up exactly where they'd be if they stayed in the same lane.
LOL. Just yesterday I seen an altima hauling ass and diving in and out of lanes and the first thing I thought about was this thread. I should have pulled the dash cam footage and uploaded it for entertainment.

Somewhere in the Internet there is the same exact thread except for Altima drivers talking about Mustang drivers lol ... Or maybe not [emoji14]

Lmao

"The other night an S550 GT pulled up next to me at a stop light, so I edged forward to accept his challenge. He stayed at the line like an arrogant SOB. The light turned green and all I heard was his exhaust drowning out everything else. He must have used launch control so I punched it as fast as I could.

Idk what the talk is about, he was barely at maybe a little over the PSL by the time I hit 110. He obviously wanted to race, but I guess the coyote is no match for our 2.5S. Too slow, next!"

I think you would find that 90% of the public has no idea how much HP a Mustang GT has now. Until 2011, the Mustang really had pretty mediocre power in the GT, matched by most V6's and even some 4 bangers.

I've talked with a lot of my friends now who are shocked that I'm driving a Mustang in the first place until I tell them it has 435 HP which usually drops their jaw.

Base model BMW's and Mercs. Usually owned by people thinking that just because it's expensive, it's fast.

Don't have my pony yet (its getting built next month, whoop! :headbang:) but it wont change who and what will attempt to race me, I can guarantee that.

There are a lot of performance cars in my area (north east UK), so you'd expect the douches in the BMW M cars, Jags, Civic Type Rs and etc. to be the ones to pick fights. Nope! Hell, I'll often see HiPo cars just cruising in the slow lane having a grand old time minding their own business.

But if someone does challenge you, its always one of the following 3 cars:

  • Ford Fiesta
  • Ford Focus
  • Vauxhall Corsa

We're not talking ST or VXR here. It'll just be a regular old Ford Focus ZTec S with some bits glued on. Sometimes literally.

The worst offenders are the Vauxhall Corsas. Vauxhall (General Motors) do what is called a "Limited Edition" version of the car (ironically one of the most popular models), which gives it a less aggressive version of the VXR performance model's body kit and black wheels. The point of the limited model is to give you a lot of equipment like digital radio and Bluetooth, but dirt cheap insurance and a dirt cheap price sticker - to cut costs and insurance they throw in a 70bhp 1.2L Engine.

70BHP



Every teenager or early 20-something with a new/new-ish license and middle class parents get's one of these cars. Said teens get it into their thick heads that putting a CAI (without heat-shield, obviously) and a fart cannon on the back will make them instantly the fastest thing on the road.

Three of them ganged up on me once in a car park outside a BK. I drove off, they followed, they challenged me to a "race" once we got on the Motorway.

They have 70hp and 85Nm of Torque. 16s to get to 60mph.
I have 210hp and 300Nm @ 6.8s.

I don't think I need to explain how it ended. :lol::lol:

I see a lot of challenger RT (non-scatpack) wanna go ... For their weight and lower HP, they're surprisingly quick!

I've had a 320i try to race me at a stop light...I'm like you're not even worth the effort bro.

The 320i is an even slower version of the 328i.
