Default S2000 Vs Volvo850T

Ok, We just left a traffic light and we had been behind him (traffic in right lane). So we wanted to get next to him and start the race but right as we got in the right lane to get up next to him he flogged it and got like 3 car jump when we pull to about 2 cars the video starts. So I am sure there will be some excuses from people like JDM Version for this post too. I bet its something like the guy doesn't know how to Shift/Wasn't Racing/or Its not running right.

P.S. The car had the licence plate "Merlow"

I dont think he was racing. Do you know what an s2000 sounds like at high rpm and wot? You had your window down and you still can't even hear the s2000 in the slightest. Looks like you gave him a ricer flyby more than anything else... what's swedish for rice? haha...

Considering they "Floored it" first, I am pretty sure they knew we where racing. We tried to get them to go again when they where next to us but they both looked pissed off and started driving like ricers..

Says it all...like was stated above...you couldn't even here the S and they scream at WOT.

Nice ricer flyby though, I'm sure the S2K owner was thinking to himself "what a dumb@$$ kid".
