BRZ, Don't challenge me in your RWD version of a Corolla!!!!
 

So me and the wife are driving around looking for some grub. (She didn't feel like cookin' last nite.) Short story, Shorter!!

I'm doing about 30mph, this one light goes from green to yellow to red superfast and I was real close to it. I could have slammed the brake but I was really close to the corner and the yellow just hit so I knew I had 2 seconds. What to do? I took the most bad azz right the Z can take and I must have looked kool doin it b4 the light actually went red? Because some Dork azz cornball in a BRZ, I guess observed my abrupt and roll free turn (Thank you Eibach & Swift) and thought Ooooh, potential challenge...
Well my light turned red fast but his green took some time for him to move. On that block I was cruising about 42mph, when this Azzhole in a BRZ does about 65-70mph so he can make a dramatic ricer fly-by.

Ok so I am sooo.... ugh NOT impressed. He' needed 7450rpm's for his cheezy ricer fly-by??? Do it to a Civic rice boy. When you can beat a gencoupe 2.0's around a track? WHICH THEY CANT. Then challenge 3.8's and v6 mustangs, when you beat them, Then challenge Z's you lower life-form.

We hit a light, I'm on the far right, he's on the far left. Light turns green and traffic is in front of us. He tries to make some fancy moves around cars and goes fast, gets about half a block ahead. Then dramatically slows down So when the light turns red we're next to each other...

I guess he thought his Greddy intake and exhaust was good for 100hp. Mind you he's on those weak azz stock tires and his car is Dirtier than Governor Christie's Shyt stained drawz...

I was so annoyed. I was supposed to go straight and and then get on the highway to another area where there are restaurants. Made a right instead and dealt with street traffic so I didn't have to be next to that cornball...

That was my first BRZ, that had come around me acting like a Civic driver. You expect it from a Civic. But from a BRZ owner. You want to get out the car and pimp-slap him around like the lil bytch he is...
"Where's mah munneyy ho-azz Bytch. Gimmie that toy car and I'll sell it at it's real value.... $20 grand. lol

Thats my first BRZ challenge story.

substitute acura TL, any BMW and thats my daily commute. and oh yeah the incredibly slow and heavy charger RT variant.

Chargers are american rice. They go around challenging everything that looks nicer than their car.
chargers are FUGLY!!!

Funny how history repeats. 350z was harassed by the rsx crowd. Now this...

Reddit r/cars, and my town of Madison WI, is full of FRS and BRZ everywhere.

Now, I'm not going to trash the car. They are great cars for the price range. But honestly, these people are delusional about what the car is. It would be like us acting like our cars were as good as audi R8's or something.

People need to realize most cars on the road will go fast
What's the point of beating someone in a couple of seconds down the freeway? If you wanna race it should be long distance (like 100+ miles)
If it's in the city, traffic weaving skills will show who's the better driver
Dumbass fgts "oh my car is 1 second faster than yours", ROFL you spent money on your POS car to make it gain X HP and nobody gives a sht ricer fgts

Traffic weaving in race format is extremely dangerous and stupid. Honestly it doesn't prove anything. If your car is 170 inches long and you can fit between 2 cars, But you are playing bob and weave with a car 190 inches long but you squeezed into 180 inches of space. All you proved is that your car is smaller.

LOL!!! Alright...


I just think Ricer Flyby's are funny...
In my 370, I was going 78MPH on the freeway and this Maxima ricer flyby's me with the hazards on at like 120!!!
What the F am I going to do?!?!?! Yeah, let me give chase on the 405 at 2AM at 140MPH to race you... LOL

I did a ricer flyby in my Maxima to an Integra that HONESTLY, had no power, just had a broken rattle can muffler, and the guy tried to race me!!! I was laughing my ÁSS OFF, I just did it to poke fun at the guy (and no, I didn't race him... There's a time and place for racing, but I was just messing with the guy)

I think BR's are generally kool. Overpriced and INSANELY overrated. But they're kewl. I just hate underpowered whimps acting like they are in the same playing field when they are down nearly 140hp and pushing 16.1 second quarter mie times

lol I was being sarcastic
I have a weird sense of humor sorry :wtf2:

Lol, I know! :tiphat:

had one tail gate me hard, bumper to bumper on an on ramp,

As soon as it straightened out..... bye bye

I get people trying to fly by and cut me off at high speeds. I know this is wreckless (rare occasion), but it's funny to quickly match their speed and walk past them right when they are next to me.

I do have a tendency to freak out when someone approaches my bumper at high speed regardless of which lane I'm in. Plus, I get tailgated at any speed even when there are cars up front. So now I try my best to ignore people behind me and focus what's ahead.

But but but...they can push it to the limits at a much slower pace. That counts for something right :ugh2:

You gotta think the whole time he was racing you, in his mind, he was wearing that boxer out. I am sure he felt accompolished when he got to wherever he was headed.

Just roll down your window and point and laugh at his prius tires they hate that. That is if he isn't one of those who changed his tires out on day one.

There has to be a willing opponent of a challenge to have a race... lol. :tup:

I wouldn't waste my Vpower 93 on his broke-azz. :owned:

I haven't gotten it from a BRZ yet, but I've gotten it from old 240s and Integras. Seriously, just make your way to Wal-Mart and leave me alone.

Hey I shop some things at Walmart? :eek:

LMAO!!!

Honestly, I understand the "I can push my car to the limits more often than you"
But I enjoy it in REALLY shítty cars like my ex's Yaris, damn it was SOOOOO fun to drive, it's a POS, but fun... And if I wanted a car like that, I'd get a Ford Focus. I had a regular hatch back one for a week as my car was in the dealershit, and while it may be FWD, I handbrake turned that son bítch at every other turn, and MAN OH MAN it was a fun car!

For me, just please for god sakes, don't sell the FRS as a true sports car... $25k is great, but 200hp... Boxer engine... No... My '98 and '01 Toyota Avalons' had better 0-60's

It really is the new Miata, which is ok... I guess... And I'm happy it kicked the tuner market into overdrive... But just be prepared to see a lot more "yobbos" as they say on Top Gear

:icon18:
I shop at Walmart too!!!

On my way to Walmart I had this REALLY good looking guy trying to race me... In his Versa... With 3 people in it...
BUT!!! It had a carbon fiber hood


I lazily drove off and he couldn't keep up to a dizzying speed of 45~

I normally only get CTS-V's and Honda's trying to race me around here. The CTS-V's are funny I act like I engage just for a second. Then they waste all their gas when there was no race to be had. That has to burn a little bit haha.

:iagree: I LOVE doing that

Remember Chris Harris said you can't push the z hard, that guy hated hard in the z

Agreed. the only difference between a BRZ and a cheap FWD manual car... Donuts.

Mazda 3's in manual are crazy fun. $17,000 Focus St for 25k will give more torque and will feel more ballzy throughout the range. Chevy Sonic Turbo. Kewl lil whip to destroy. lol
The Z offers way more. I don't care how high our center of gravity is by comparison. Our cars offer real sports. BRZ's offer sporty fun.

I'd rather buy a base manual z for $33k than a loaded BRZ for $30k

That fruit was scared to go over 70mph. lol

I also buy some stuff at Wal-Mart, but not car parts. I assume everyone knew that was my implication.

I love (British) Top Gear, and I like Chris Harris's reviews, mostly. But, Chris Harris should be paying royalties to Clarkson.

lol... I was just bein silly.

Same thing happen into me last sunday morning, but i was going 80 in the fast lane in 7th gear cruising, a murdered out Mazda 3 was coming at a high rate of speed saw him in my rearview mirror, heard him coming too, loud aftermarket whiny exhaust, he passes me up then cuts in front of me real hard, so hard half of his car was in the shoulder lol, i had already reduced my speed to about 70 when i saw him coming i knew what was up. He did all of that and then made a hard right to catch the next exit which was congested. :rofl2:

Didn't clarkson hate on the z to? British are brutal

Had a brz try to show my stock looking volvo s70 t5 what was up on an entrance ramp... saw him come flying in my rear view (looking to do a ricer fly by), let him get almost even with me, then i dropped a gear and let him hear what 18psi and 310lb ft. sound like from an inline 5...


the look on his face from getting walked by a volvo... priceless

those brz's may be every car reviewers wet dream, but on the streets, those are just the new whipping boy for eveyone

I feel for you, man. I put up with some of that when I had my Z. Now, I have a Civic Si and you wouldn't believe how the young kids in thier Subbies and riced-up whatevers are bugging me.

Hey, I bought the Si as a daily commuter car. Yes, it's thier sport model. But I don't drive like an 18 year old. And I don't go looking for trouble. But boy, does this car attract the kids.

Two different cars.... same outlook with moronic drivers...

I buy detailing things every once in a while, oil filters, and like windshield wiper fluid...

And I think I LOVE it more, lol (Check my thread, I went to a filming!)
http://www.the370z.com/lounge-off-to...r-filming.html
I have to look into Chris Harris though, never heard of him...

Yep, he hated it, but he was comparing it to a BMW Z4, which is unfair to me...

And by the way... I don't know if the episode has been released in the US yet, but he LOVES the "GT86/BRZed"
And he even talks about it in THE NEXT episode after the review of the car...
(It did make me REALLY happy that it was one of, if not THE shortest car review in the history of Top Gear :tup:)

i get my car cleaning supplies there as well. sometimes the wash and wax is like $2 cheaper for each unit than pep boys and auto zone. I save up to $8 on car detailing stuff their. GThats over 2 gallons of gas or a lunch special at my fave chinese restaurant. Or a 3 piece grilled at kfc.

:icon18::bowrofl::roflpuke2:

(And edited)

I had a Nismo and now have a 09 CTS-V......I enjoy killing any and all comers in my V. I'm fine with burning 93 octane for "teaching moments"....sometimes it must be done.

hey hey now... the speed limit was 70, so i wasn't there yet....:roflpuke2:


tbh, i've shown a treefiddy z or two the same treatment in the t5. yes i kno, i'm a cannible lol.

When i get the same type of car over and over again pull the same shyt. I occasionally may own a punk or two in a driving-lesson. Last night, I was hungry.

On a related note. Is anyone else experiencing the influx of these cars like I am? They are honestly like flies. For a car that hasn't been out very long they are fricken everywhere.

Yessir, I agree... At a monthly car meet there used to be 100-150 cars... The meet after the FRS came out, 40 of them showed up, and EVERY SINGLE one of them thought they'd be the only one with it...


At the last meet... I BS you not... 100+
I had my GoPro mounted outside my car in the waterproof case, and you can hear my laughing inside the car at seeing that many FRSs in one place

Saddly, this is true more times than I can count. My adopted younger brother in high school has a "teggy." He and his friend, are also "teggy" owners and some of the most arrogant little shyts you'll meet. They all think they drive Veyrons. It's like they're practicing to be future BMW owners. It's a shame really, because I actually like the Integra and cars like the 240. Don't get me wrong, I've met a bunch of really cool owners, but it seems like I tend to meet a lot more d-bags owners.
