Default Ass clown crossfire driver.

Heading home last night on a 3 lane road with moderate traffic congestion and come across a crossfire driving with his top down thinking that he's the sh1t.

Because of the traffic, he cut right in front of me to get around. I'm like...okay, whatever. So I backed off and minded my own business. I'm getting ready to get onto the highway, so I get onto the right lane. The crossfire was apparently going onto the highway also, and manages to cut in front of me again. Since his top was down, I can definitely tell that he took no precaution of looking before he switches lanes. I high beamed him to let him know that his careless action wasn't appreciated. Backed off a little, and minded my business again. I noticed later that he was on his cell phone

Well, there's nothing to feel better about. After all, I am s/c'ed and if I lost, then I'll really feel pissy.

That guy IS an ass clown for driving like he did and acting like he's the sh!t. You showed good restraint and a cool attitude throughout. Letting off steam here is good for the soul. Ride safe

I'm just waiting for my wife to get an SRT6 Crossfire. I actually like those. That guy was an asshat though.

I could beat an S2000 on foot if it was in 5th gear going 45mph...I find it hard to believe that he was giving it his all.

Ah, the unmighty Crossfire. I remember a few years back when they first came out, this guy in our town had just got his (intransits from dealer still on) and he's out cruising around. My friends and i are pulled over in our cars talking. He pulls in and wants to show us up. He asks to race the fastest car there. My friend had just gotten his Integra LS boosted so we let him go at it since he hadnt embarrased anyone yet. He got smoked by a good 10 or more cars. He comes back and talks to us, i think he was about ready to take it back to the dealer after spending like 30k on it and getting beat that bad.

Well, if you look at the dyno on a standard S2000 with S/C and exhaust, the car already hits ~200hp 6.5krpm. More than the crossfire can handle. That's not to mention that my car is tuned with an EMS. And I probabyly shifted at 7k, so I use 1k of vtec.
