just doesnt make any sense to me

mythe7 10-08-04 02:47 AM

you just wasted about a minute of my time. i dont know why i even responded.

RX7UP 10-08-04 11:54 PM

Here I Go!!!! Extra, Extra! Read all about it...... Two for one special!!!!

Driving north on the Bronx pky Near Scarsdale when I see this RX8 in my rear view... The light turns green and I let him pass me.... As soon as he saw my car he guns it. I follow weaving through traffic, taking the corners at about 110 mph. He takes the outside I take the inside corners.... At one corner I almost loose it, the rear of my FD gets a little sideways... At 110 mph going sideways on a corner....... That got me spooked!

Further up I catch him and then we both reduce speed for the straight away.... Three honks and we both down shift and gun it..... 2nd gear I got one car. 3rd gear I got two cars.. By 4th gear I got like 3 1/2 car lengths on him.... This is where I hit the brakes and he passes..... He says nothing... I press my horn out of good sportsmanship he does nothing, he just drives off with his shattered dream!

I guess he thought that the RX8 is faster than RX7 because of the higher number...lol


Driving north on Central ave this STI is pacing me at about 30 mph.... 3 honks we go! I down shift 2nd and then through 3rd by the time it was over I pulled 1 car length..... I press the brakes for the up coming light.... At the light he rolls down his window and says. "Nice car, any mods." I say thanks and no I don't, only 27,000 original miles stock... He nods his head in approval and raises his eyebrows .... Then he dies!

So you were weaving through traffic, cornering, and breaking the wheels loose all while going 110 mph? You are a completely irresponsible idiot and I hope to god you don't take anyone else with you the day you finally do yourself in.

Yep, this is why street racing is so hated nowadays, morons doing shit like this and killing innocent people who are just out minding their own business.

Not Really............

I wove through the traffic to get to him..... When the traffic was behind us, we hit 110... There was no one near us at that point. Only the juicy guard rail......

Oh, E.N ..... One more thing..... You are being irresponsible for Flaming on this Thread / forum!

What, so you're trying to change your story now? You said he gunned it, which means that YOU had to gun it while weaving through traffic according to YOUR story. Then you said "taking the corners at 110" which implies that you were at 110, taking corners, all while weaving through traffic.

I don't even care how fast you were actually going. Anyone who weaves through traffic while they're racing is a complete dumbass. You never know who's going to switch lanes and when, and when you hit someone it's all your fucking fault. There's nothing irresponsible whatsoever about me telling you what a complete moron you were. People like you are the ones that give the performance world a bad name, because people like you are the ones that cause accidents and kill people. You deserve every single flame you get from me and everyone else after me.

Go ahead and try to justify your stupidity to yourself all you want, but you'll see that nobody else really gives a damn.

d0 Luck 10-09-04 12:48 AM

it's really simple

streetrace when there's no traffic ahead of you
and
when there's no bystanders

I'm not changing my story. Just being more specific.... "Nobody else really gives a damn.........." You did!!!

1. Street racing is dangerous, illegal, and depending on the circumstances, irresponsible.
2. If you have a problem with street racing, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE "KILLS" SECTION!!!!!

There's a difference between street racing with absolutely no traffic around and street racing THROUGH traffic, genius.

Mr. Belvi 10-09-04 10:34 AM

EdwardNorth - disagree with his actions all you want but keep the name calling out of it.

monk1970 10-09-04 12:47 PM

110 around city corners, eh? City corners are the sharp 90-degree corners, right?

I gotta call BS on that one.

EdwardNorth 10-09-04 02:21 PM

Sorry about the name-calling. The last couple of days have been rough.

he said bronx river parkway not a corner in the bronx like 165th st and jerome ave. no 90 degree turns on the parkway.

I'm not familiar with the road. Is 120 around corners on the Bronx Parkway reasonable?

mike9164 10-09-04 11:21 PM

hell no it's not reasonable at all. you'd have to be a little fu#*ed up to do it,but it's possible. it's a two lane parkway... not that wide in case of a mistake.

I stand corrected then. I'll retract the BS card in favor of a DUMBSHIT card.

mike9164 10-10-04 12:57 PM

-So what your saying is the 8 had you in the twisties since you started losing control. yet you took him in the straight away...I'm an 8 owner and realize its no drag car, but for some people to reject it or bash it cuz of its straightline acceleration is rediculous...from wht you say it seems like the 8 was decent compitition around the corners, seems like a decent sports car to me

spot_skater 10-11-04 03:10 PM

110 around the bronx river? dwayne, you're nuts

yes it's possible to do, but you've gotta be really into it to go that fast on that highway...did you get to the area near white plains with the white barriers?

good kills, RX7UP

also...what color was the STI? was it a blue one, half debadged on the back, with an early 20s, white, driver?

J, don't sweat it man....wrong section.

Sure, It's a great car...... All though I have never had chance to drive one.... I do agree it must handle well on the twisties... It did take me about a minute to catch up after the head start I gave him.... I tend to be a little cockie on the road towards my house since I drive on it frequently.....

It's a great 2 lane parkway that should be a place to test exotics on or a great road to film a car commercial, I recommend you drive it someday.....

Oh...... One more thing.... I almost lost It because I was driving about 20 mph faster than the RX8 driver in order to catch up to him.... Remember that "I let him pass me," in my original story..... All in all, I had fun......

RX7UP

*PS. I also believe that the RX8 is a "decent" sports car

Thanks for the thumbsup James!

The STI was a late model blue and the driver was as you described above!!!

*PS. Why do you ask, do you know this guy? As for the badge on the back, I don't know..... Maybe you should ask him what my rear license plate reads... lol
