let me give u another scenario, today (well yesterday- sunday) I'm coming back from work. this r-tard takes of from a light in front of me. (I am tired and just wanna go home)

so at the third light... hes one car in front of me in the lane right to me. no biggie- i'm not lookin to do anything.

a lil later, he's slowed down a bit so he comes next to me (dude in his 40s-50s driving a '03-04 VW R32) im driving regular... and my BOV goes of as I shift... he looks out his window, mean-muggin',and then nods his head.

All im thinking "u lil POS, u think u r better than me cuz ur driving a R32 and nodding ur head. (btw his R32 is not in any shape faster, better lookin than my turbo tC!!!) psshhh"

what did he do: floor it.
what did I do: just kept driving... with a smirk on my face.

now, the head-nodding looser he is, he is gonna go to his little VW forum- talk trash bout beating a turbo tC "ricer" (I bet he's gonna throw that word in there) and how tC is a p*ssy a$$ econobox...

at the end of the day-
He: thinks his d*ck is bigger.
I: just came home and spend quality time with family!

I get everything trying to race me... most of the time they are just being rude so I just ignore them and make them feel like a loser. It's usually some loser with an old pos car that sounds like crap. I have 5% tint on my front windows so noone can see me.... when I beat this guys ___ in an old chevy suv, he just about crapped himself when he saw that he lost to a chic..... HAHA. He had to of known what he was askin for....

Oddly enough, I'm left alone for the most part. Cars that I would expect to race me usually just leave me alone. I've only ever gotten problems from domestics; go figure.

I actually saw this doing some research yesterday. Stumbled upon some not-VWvortex forum and this kid was talking about his "kill" against a s/c tC and how much our cars suck and "aren't German" (exact words).

He was lampooned just the same as the street racers are on SL, which I thought was kinda nice.

How'd you know he had a full intake and exhaust? Mods for Z's hardly improve HP/TQ.

...just wondering.

Who's the bigger idiot... the idiot, or the guy racing the idiot?

well its not hard to notice the intake sound when an engine is revving... it has that deep tone.

as for the exaust... you hear a full, straight pipe exaust from literally half a mile way... besides a friend of mine has a nizmo Z with a full exaust... looked exactly the same.

x2.

Weird thing is... nobody's ever revved at me when I drive my car. The only time my car was revved at was when my mom and dad borrowed my car.
