Sponsored by Loki Motorsports (local). Can get you set up if you want some power adder. The owner has an xB with a custom direct port system capable of a 300 shot but the engine isn't anywhere close to being able to handle that at this point. He has hooked up several xb's though that are low to mid 14's in the 1/4.

Where I go to school, the freeways are a little more winding than usual and the exits have sharp curves. I usually just overtake the morons going fast in a straight and having to slow down at the sharp exit curve going onto the next freeway. It funny because I usually overtake cars like that on a sharp curve then able to get away due to the exit speed. But I do get the car that goes next to me then accelerates..

This thread make me laugh.. I dont street race and i dont support those who do so a month a go when i got to watch a mitsu Eclipse plow in to a car carier truck as it was stop on the road unloading i had a good laugh.
He was racing a civic and must not have seen it comming. PLOW right in to it. The civic just kept going and never came back.
My self and others stop and made sure the kid was alright. He was. His biggest prob was he wrecked his car and said his parents just bought it for him 3 month prior.
LOL LOL LOL. The worst thing is i dont think he learned any lesson and i am sure he will be back at it again soon.
As for the guy who he was racing i will say i am pretty disgusted with the fact the did not stop to make sure the other guy was ok.
HOLLY ____ people some one could have and buy all means should have died and you did not even stop to make he was ok. Thats pretty sad.
I will try and find the pics of the car if i still have them and post them up.
Latter,
Adam

I had a Lancer Evo try to race me the other night. Do these jerks just want an easy win? 
Yeah, I mean his car looked cool and he made it clear to me that it was turbocharged, but come on. There was nothing about my box or driving that said "hey, I can kick your car's ___
".
Laaaaaaaaaaaame.
I just laughed and shook my head at him. He paced me for the next 5 or so miles.

Everyone in the VACAVILLE/FAIRFIELD, CA area with EVOS always try to race me too. They are friggin retarded because I know its an easy win for them. One time a dude in a RED EVO stopped next to me, revved his engine, then he launched hella quick, obviously beating me. Then he hit the next light and I lined up next to him. I opened my window , his window also open, and told him in a laughing manner"if you had ***** you would race your own Kind (type of car) not a car you know you can beat. " Obviously I ____ed him off because he just cruised next to me looking at me hella funny like he was going to hit me.
FUNNY AND TRUE STORY!!!!!!

Last night I had some jackass in a Blue Sentra SER try to race me down the street towards my friends house. I don't think he knew that there was construction going on which made it a one-lane street. He got next to me and was revving up his engine, you could hear this guy's coffee-can muffler from miles, anyways he is flashing his high beams on and off and just being an idiot. I was in the right lane (the left lane closes about halfway down the street due to the construction) and I started to accelerate, as did he but he obviously didn't know his lane ends and all I see in my rear view mirror is cones flying in the air and him swerving....good thing there were no other cars around. People like that ____ me off.

A lot of people buy cars like 350Z because they are insecure with themself or something, and they feel the need to prove something. What do you expect, they are just born "small" and are "fast" in all dimensions. Same goes for those little tweetie people driving huge lifted trucks. Sure, they think they are mean and mighty when they are in their cars, but we live in a world where you are not in your car most of the time.
Being a recreational bodybuilder, I love seeing how when I run into those same people in the halls and they won't even lift their head.
At the end of the day, they are still the same small, insecure people that are rubbish at work and useless in bed.

I really enjoy reading these funny stories. It's great that the xB can get under the skin of these others that have clearly spent way more coin on a vehicle but get way less attention.
