...I swear every Johnny Asshat drivin' a 3 or 5 series BMW thinks they have the fastest thing on the road and I want to race. They drive like a complete ass around me...in fn rush hour traffic nonetheless. Swerving cuttin in and out, flooring it slamming on their brakes. WTF I'm gonna start runnin these clowns off the road, not even the M3s or M5s either, it's these 20 something males in their mid to low model BMWs driving like this. Not that i would race but the part that really gets me is when we get up to a light they stay like a car length behind me once they see the shaker and hear the V8 with my magnapacks then they try to sneak and floor it by you when you're not ready. /rant

Yes, I have the same problem. I just got my GT a week before yesterday and have already experienced several kids in low-end BMWs/MBs trying to harass and provoke me into a race. I just laugh at them, not worth the gas.

I've also had other people do this to me. It's always been a slow POS, so far. For example, we have the big SUVs (Tahoes, Navigators, etc.), and then we have the ricers who always seem to have a stick up their ass when they are around my car. I just don't get it. I even had a Jeep Wrangler try to race me.

So all in all, yes, I feel your pain.

You must need some stickers and a fartcan now, if not sooner.

So frickin true. Those BMW guys are mad cause they way overpaid for
an average pos that aint that fast. What I really love is these guys in
thier Hemi 4x4's that want to race, nothings more fun than blowing
them away at a red light. They may be fast once they get rolling but out
of the hole......

all the retards want to race me. the beat up mid 70s monte carlo rusted all to hell (for weight savings), also no muffler cuz dat slowz me down, dawg. then i get the retard in their saturn SL2 that wants to race. the only time a respectable car has tried to race was a WS6 trans am, but he wanted to run on the street with traffic ahead.

i cant seem to be able to get any of them to run at the track. once you tell someone you actually go to the track, they back down really quickly.

And you're right about the track, esp with all the kids dying around my area in car crashes and these dopes wanna run on public roads. I'm all for some spirited driving but fn street racing is ghey.

I know 95% of the time if I'm at a light they are giong to try and jump right when the light turns, so I always get on it when the light turns.

I get the same crap all over the place. Alot of Lincoln LS and 4x4 trucks always trying to race, funny thing is that I don't race on the street so I hope one day I see someone trying to race me from a stop light and then a cop busts them. That will make my day.

I'm glad I almost never have to deal with any of that crap. A couple months ago a newer Camaro wanted to race me, but this was in 5 o'clock traffic with cars right in front of us. I just shook my head no and went my way. What a tard. Other than that, I have'nt had anyone bother me in years.

Lol, that reminds me of a time in my previous truck. It was a 1997 Dakota CC 4x4 with a 5.2L and sounded really bad-ass. Anyways, I was at a light, and could see a cop up a head hiding at an intersection, but I guess the guy revving at me in his Civic hatch couldn't see him. So I rev back and act like I am gonna race, hoping this guy takes off so he can eat a ticket. Light turns green, his tires squeel for a second and he's off, shortly followed by the 5-0 flicking on his lights. I was laughing so hard.

yeah, those BMW owners, are young a holes, their parents prolly bought them a car, and its prolly one of those p.o.s. steptronic trannys cause they really dont know how to handle an actual stick.............i also get the same thing with RX8's, i dunno why, but i do. anyone else also have RX8's owner provoke a race....i mean, ive put the hurtin on one before, but i think one is enough, and there is no reason to put the hurtin on another one cause i already know the outcome.

i get people in bmws trying to do that crap to me all the time. but i live in stang country around here i see alot of gts/cobras rolling around. it helps when you live up the street from one of the areas best ford tuning shops. the only time ive had a rx8 mess with me was when i was in my 83 rx7 wich is no match for the rx8. the rotarys make no tourqe anyways the are best left to the corners that a drag race
