So I was driving home when....
 

So I was driving home yesterday and had this guy in a blue Audi tailgating within a foot of my bumper at an on ramp right before merging into a parkway. I gunned it to get over the next lane and was hitting rev limiter before I know it, shifting from 2nd to 3rd to 4th. The dude was still on my Z's a** and tried to pass me on the right side. I let off the gas after looking down at the speedo. He let off also as he got next to me, then proceeded to do a ricer flyby after realizing I wouldn't race him. It looked like a late model modded RS4 (B5). I'm surprised how much the Z kept up considering its pretty much stock and the Audi has a hp advantage even in stock form.

Note: Please don't flame. I wasn't racing this guy, but he was trying to incite a race.

Edit: So apparently it was a modded S4 with over 500hp.

what road were you on?

the RS4 is quick...0-60 in around 4.6 with a 13 sec 1/4 mile....

similiar performance to the Z except they have an extra 2 doors

RS4 has almost as much torque as the Z in HP.

Probably a S4, but who knows. Just don't kill yourself or anyone else.

Audi has an hp advantage, but might as well have lead feet too. Those cars are heaaaavy.

3600-3700

People don't need to be in fast cars to drive like dix. I got cut off by a Land Cruiser today. I constantly get people rev on me, and I just never take the bait. Even if I whip dat azz, it's too much to be bothered with and not worth any of the risks.

:wtf2:

Did you smack it or did you grab it

I "punched it", although litigation prevents me from providing further evidence that may imply lack of consent :ugh2:

I mean, yay driving!

Interestingly, the RS4 only gets the jump on the Z off the line due to the Quattro. The 1/4 mi times are all in the high 12s/low 13s with trap speeds almost identical to the Z's. A Z with a catback exhaust, high flow cats, and an intake will probably be neck and neck with a stock RS4.

Cool story bro!

It wasnt an RS4. I know the kid. Its a 2001 S4 with 500+ hp

No, it was me.

He was pulling like crazy... I knew he had more under that hood. Had I seen this guy's car at a meet, I'd probably go up and compliment him on a nice ride.




Also, I'm not trying to turn this into a vs. thread or anything, although it will likely end up that way. I just hate it when people tailgate like that or people try and race you on public roads. This was probably a boring story you see once a week, but a las, I bored and have nothing better to post about :p

@kenchan: People who drive Honda Fit(s) just wouldn't understand. Here's your charburger and fries.:icon17::icon17:

At least an Audi RS4 was trying to race you, I had pickup trucks, SUVs, Priuses, all were trying to race me. that's sad.

I never had Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches try to race me.

yea i don't get it. when i see cars i like, i give them a thumbs up or a nod.

i dont try to race every car that looks nice/fast

Pretty similar around a track too. I was doing basically identical lap times and occasionally being held up by an RS4 with good driver on track. The guy was a bit of a dink because he wouldn't give me a point by despite riding his *** for a lap.

If the air qquality is good and you have a 7at Z, 4.6 is totally achievable.:driving:

I had a scion busta try to rice me. I mean race me... I was changing gears and moving quick when he got amped and his fartcan began blowin gas. He was endangering people on the street left and right. I'm totally losing respect for scion owners. It seems they grow on corn stalks. Corn and rice go well together?

most of the scions i see around here are all rice.. otherwise its a girl driving it :ughdance:

Next time someone tailgates you really badly just flash your hazards!

It works everytime for me :icon17:

The whole concept of Scion was largely rice to begin with. Even now, few of their offered mods from the dealer have anything to do with performance, only the TRD stuff.

4th gear
 

not that I ever exceeded a speed limit

BUT 4th at even 6k rpm is way up there

and this is the entrance ramp?

that's what I call merging!

I know Toyota's. The TRD stuff has been less performance since 2005 with the introduction of Scion. Even their springs are pretty much Eibach springs painted Red. At least their coilovers are reliable, but don't expect a drop or stiff track performance. All it matters is gold, silver, and red trims on the car to call it TRD.

Nice Fast Five quote! Definitely the best one in the movie :tup:

At one of our meets in VA we had a kid pull up in a Scion TC with a fart can and do a ricer flyby. As he was leaving the shopping center, he was pushing the car as hard as he could up a hill and then you see a minivan right next to him pass with ease. :roflpuke2:

I had a couple of idiots in a civic try to get me to race in the middle of rush hour traffic. I don't know where the hell they wanted me to race to. I'm thinking now maybe they just wanted to see my car in action or hear me rev it. I might do something similar if I saw like a Lambo/Ferrari on the road, but I would start with a thumbs up and see if the other guy wanted to do it too.

Some people are just stupid there i said it...........

I had a guy switch over two lanes to get next to me last week in a c6 vette.
He lowered his window and just gave me that look. You all know what i'm talking
about. I just looked the other way......Damn dude i know your c6 can smoke me.
But i did pay 20 grand less than you did. and can stand toe to toe with you in
the looks and handling department...........

I would do that if I saw someone else in a 370Z or any other really nice car, but replace the look with a :tup:

Hell yeah me, too. I had a 2011 STi come up and give me the thumbs up. I hate the ricers though. . . especially the ones with their I'm so cool S2000's.

Back on topic; if someone tailgates you, let the windshield spray loose. They'll definitely get the mist all over their car. It's so hilarious to see their windshield wipers go off while they back off.

After i read this i texted him and was like where u playing w a z last night and he goes why. so i told him about this lol.

Did you also tell him he is a jackass?:shakes head:

lol. Tell him to wave hello next time.

He was just admiring you seats :hello:

lol will do

Big difference between an RS4 and an '01 S4...still trying to figure out how OP missed that

Oh snap, is that why someone spray wiper on me once? :confused:

They had no car infront of them in the passing lane though...oh wells...but yes, very upsetting to have someone do that...would make me back off because I keep my Z so clean ;)

I only got a good look at for a few seconds. It was far from stock.

wh1te370z, maybe you could post a pic of his ride?

Got it, sorry I used to be very into Audi's, so to me the bodies are night and day

Yeah, other than the current gen Audi's, I woudn't be able to tell you which model is which without looking at the badge.

This is the only one i got
