    If not, there needs to be - it is comical how many people change their driving when I come up on them - it must be that intimidating hood scoop, lol. Same thing happened in my Cobra, but it's funny nonetheless. I'm just going to work, and it's rush hour, settle down people.

    There's something about a giant wing on a car that makes others want to drag race them down main street. That's one reason why I went wingless - less rice burners revving their **** at me...that, and wingless is much sexier, but that's a whole 'nother topic!

    No. I don't want to drag race you in the middle of town. (Save it for the country back roads ;) (kidding.))

    Exactly - anyone can be fast in a straight line, from a stoplight - try turning going that speed.

    Looks like you're going to Fleet Farm this weekend to get a wing :)

    Just admit it...everyone has put those rice rockets in their place at least once in their life :byebye: :rolleyes:

    Anyway, my preference is to take it to the track, and throw some turns in there.

    Everyone here seems to want to show how much of a better driver they are, has no one done it just to see what kind of power the other car is making? Unless you are all having problems with drivers in stock cars

    I prefer to find out their screen name on their favorite forum and then just internet race them! haha

    I have literally never had anyone try to race me or even indicate they would want to. Modified nor stock.

    TRUTH! But honestly, i think the silver makes it incognito. When i had the yellow z06, bitches always pulled out in front of me.

    Seriously, I would care less about what power the other car is making as most 4bangers (STi/Evo) in particular are V8- highway killers. :cigar:

    Someone kinda tried to "race" me today on the way home lol.
    A black Ford Taurus SHO with the license plate "SHOTYME".
    There was heavy traffic so not sure what he was trying to do. I was behind him and as soon as there was an opening he stepped on it and a huge cloud of black smoke poured out and then he had to slam on his brakes 5 seconds later because it was rush hour... He did that a few times and then weaved really carelessly through traffic and took an exit.
    Was weird.

    I'm guessing he got off to got off the freeway to get more gas. Just so he could do it all over again?

    Within the first few weeks, maybe a month, I was done proving my car is faster than most of the ricers in my hood. So now being an adult, I typically just laugh at them.

    Buy a Subaru with a big hood scoop, put aftermarket wheels on, and a exhaust and you didn't expect people to try and race with you and to just leave you alone?:facepalm:

    "Idiots" lol

    No one ever looks at my wagon... The STi on the other hand, they come running like moths to a flame.

    Not true at all....just the other summer there was a Ferrari 360 I was playing with...plenty of old muscle cars as well.

    Also you wagon means nothing, I get people racing my lgt wagon.....could be the sound or the dual 4.5" tips on it though too

    I never get folks trying to race me either. must be because i live in the west burbs. The wing does not attract moths to flames out here.

    That must be in on the outskirts of Maple Grove/Corcoran/Plymouth/Medina. Everyone near me drives an Audi, BMW or Mercedes... I think I'm literally the only Subaru in my neighborhood

    I usually had to deal with the Honda fan boys and Mustang rednecks when I had the 11 WRX hatch. Now with the 15 STI I mostly see other WRX/STI owners in my mirror weaving like mad to catch up and get a closer look at the car, not to race. Prolly cause they haven't seen one in person etc but gotten a few thumbs up so far..

    [​IMG] Saw this porsche turbo and then the riced out stancetarded 370z came up.
    He didn't want to play but he decided to give me the ol ricer fly-by before he took the exit for downtown wayzata lol. Must have been going 120 mph but he needed about a mile to get up to speed.

    I have never had anyone ever try to race me. It must be the difference between the hatch and the sedan or something. Kind of glad, as it is terribly annoying...
