Feh. These of the kind of people that get mentions in the obituary section and drive around with rice wheels and torn fenders. Screw 'em.
It's funny, though. If I said "hey why don't you bring that thing to the next time trial at the track, and then we'll see who's fast," I'd be the _____ loser.

i had 3 hilbilies in a truck mock me at a stop light and when it turned green they stomped it but I didnt go and they looked like a$$ lmao.
then i slowly cought up and the guy went to stomp the gas again and so i floored it and left the truck by 5 cars, when we came to the next light they wouldnt look at me.

First, I would like to congratulate everyone who has enough self control to not race against these idiots.
Second, there is always one thing that will be guaranteed from all of us not 'racing' them:
- There will be a video(s) on youtube where there are guys in riced out cars, turbo'd cars, sport cars, cars with a lot more hp than ours, or just any car in general, that are 'racing' us..... then they will say at the end of the vid "tc's are ____." or "we smoked that bit**." etc, etc, etc. And the same captions will be in the title or video info. And then in the comment section, there will be hundreds of comments saying "tC's are sh** cars," "tC's stink," "you owned that *****" etc, etc, etc....This will just go on and on, and will never end.
-Did anyone stop and think that a stock tC has just barely over 160 hp?....160 is nothing. This car is a baby compared to most others. I've seen videos of mustangs, g35s, and many other sport designed cars taking on a non-sport economy coupe. And to top it off, they are giving it, and us, flak. How dumb do you have to be to not realize that 1. if the tC was racing, it has only 161 hp, 2. It might not have even been racing, and 3. The tC was in no way meant to be a true sports car.
Lastly, I would also like to congratulate the few with modded and stock cars that beat any of the above classified cars in a race, and thus shaming them.

last month, i had a guy in a 350z who was following behind me. when i got to the stop light, he had pulled into the other lane and we were both first at the stop light. he then starts letting his car roll down (cuz we were on a slight incline) and he kept rolling it down, then back up, back down, then up. pretty much the entire length of the red light. then right when it turned green, he took off like no other. regardless, i just went my merry little way and met him at the next stop light. lol. then same thing again, he pulls off pretty quickly when it turned green. what a loser. there goes your premium gas you just wasted.

i'm not gonna street race anyone, especially not on a heavily traveled highway with cops all over this and other roads due to hurricane Ike.
i'll never understand why some people do the dumb things that they do.
