So I was on my way home today, I was in the 4runner, which is stock, aside from a K&N air filter (not a FIPK, just a filter). anyway,there was a guy in a 90-93 honda accord, if you looked up "ricer" in the dictionary, this car would be the picture! Fart can, body kit, big wing, etc. He starts revving the motor at a stoplight (I was in the lane next to him).
I normally do not race, but this guy had it coming. I only "race" up to the speed limit anyway, but the light turned green, and I handed him an a** whoopin.
I KNOW how slow those older accords are,(used to own one) so I knew I'd win anyway. I guess the fart can and the TYPE R sticker were not enough of an HP gain to get him a win.
the best part was when I hit the speed limit I just maintained the speed limit, after he caught up, he did the classic ricer fly by (after the loss, not sure what that means exactly??)
4runner- FTW

Be careful, you can still get a ticket for exhibition of speed. Very true! He flew by you. You lost. LOL. I always wondered what that meant!

good kill, but you can still be stopped for street racing, regardless of what speed you top out at. Too bad you didnt get a pic of the goober, but good kill anyway.

We had a guy like that in the neighborhood except it was an old POS carbureted truck that he had to rev to keep running. I was so happy when that guy moved away.

I think its funny when these guys install a racing clutch, and then wonder why they either kill it or do a burn out every stop. (maybe they think the burn out is cool).

I would call the cops for disturbing the peace or something. That's bull.

there are some pretty loud motorcycles out there too. Harley's seem to have no noise regulations.
I am really not sure what all the hype is about , making your car sound like a bee hive. Monkey see, monkey do I guess.
