Funny! A lot of inbreads with lifted trucks and or soccer moms always try to race. Also, from a red light they accel hard that it kinda seems like they're launching haha

For some reason that happens to me all the time. From trucks with lift kits, SUV's. I guess our cars just look fast driving down the road. I had the queen with me headed to see my girls in college on a four lane highway, cruising about 75 mph. Turn signal on to pass the blacked out SUV, got around him and turn sign back into the slow lane. Before I knew it the SUV came up into the other lane and started gunning his engine. If the queen wouldn't have been with me, I would have dropped it down to forth gear and stomp it. The queen asked want was that all about. I told her that shit happens all the time. People hate getting passed by an S2000, I guess.

Cus double clutching is how you race?
LOL no. Granny shiftin not double clutchin like you should? Did you even read my post? I said I DON'T drive fast. I double clutch my down shifts, its smoother.
1. You got ANGRY at a little girl over a snoball. Its a kid and prolly accident. You wouldn't have the snoballs to say that if you saw older boys do it. Every kid giggles and says "oh shi!"
2. It's that behavior is why you have a bad reputation in your community. You prolly got picked on alot in school.
3. You learn your driving skills from fast and furious movies. Vin diesel is helping you get your revenge via "racing"......on the streets like a ricer.
4. YOU SIR talk alot of SHI! on forums, trying to prove your badassery
5. These newer cars do not need double shifting...s2k has a syncros or whatever its called.
6. Please watch toyko drift more and try it out....vin diesil is in it! Wreck your CR and sell it to me salvaged, then go buy a 300C. Douchebox.

Poser patrol says you are out of pre-paid minutes, u Douche. PPl like you make me want to sell my s2k.
I don't even know you and you make me upset, makes me want to call you FA5 and stuff.

This car sure does bring some interesting attention to it. I have only owned it for about 4 months now, only driven it a handful of times due to the winter weather. I drive the car as it should be driven, ie; rev-match/downshift, it's also practice as the car will almost solely be a track/autocross vehicle.

I've been revved at by a mid-90's accord with altezza lights, and rev'd and ricer fly-by by some kid in a tarted up cavalier. It also seems when I pass people they take offense to it and want to ride my ass. I don't mind too much as I enjoy every minute I'm driving the car.

I've been DD/autocrossing a IS300 the past 6 years. Full suspension, full exhaust, and intake. It is still pretty quiet with full exhaust but I think in the entire 6 years I've had only one person try and race me(not that I would, street racing is for idiots). I don't get people riding my ass or being overly aggressive either. />
I seem to have the same issue. I double clutch and heel toe a lot. I don't drive fast or anything but I do it when I can. I get everything riding my ass and trying to race. I think its because its a Honda. lol
read the above post from me. I replied to wrong guy. the "real"

My unlikely car was some kind of Audi station wagon. I left work early one day at 7:30 (work 2nd shift) and this kid kept messing with me about half of the way home. So, I finally caved. I didnt launch hard at the light, but he did and got maybe a car lenght or so on me. But, then I proceeded to blow his doors off as I went through 1st and 2nd. Im like That was probably the slowest car Ive ever raced in any car Ive owned. Then, I tried to give him a thumbs up or wave and he wouldn't get next to me no matter how slow I went Guess he was embarrassed...
