What's up with reving Hondas?

So I have noticed that when Hondas drive past me, they rev their engines. I don't think it is a race thing... Any ideas? It has happened multiple times.

:???:

 

They're just saying whats up or it has a bad clutch that just keeps slipping.

 

You know this does get annoying. I had this done to me like a week ago. Red EK9 w/front mount. To answer your question, they just want to tell you they are the fashtar!!

 

i see it as a mutual whats up. you can usually tell if its a dork trying to race you or something if its continuous ass hat revving.

or you can take it as a show of respect from the slower car...

 

Throw it into third and smoke past them.

 

I KNOW WHO THAT IS...:laugh:
Don't worry, you'd whoop him.

 

i know who that is to. ROFLMAO

 

Its more of sayin hello bro...im also an driving a japanese car....

 

I think it's worse when 95% of the dodge chargers out there are flying by me at 90mph

 

I think you got it. Some people create this false/IMAGINARY sense of an adverserial relation to other drivers that might just be thinking "Damn, I wish my broke ass could afford a damn subaru, I'll rev my motor so you know you have nothing to fear from my gehto boosted honda":biggrin:

 

They do it to keep their revs up otherwise the car might just die on the highway ha

 

So it's a "what's happenin'?" I can dig that!

 

Huh... funny, since I'm still drivin my DD nissan 200sx, all I get is Pick-ups and LOTS of Jetta's revving me or doing short quick pick ups like they wanna race. I just ignore them, completely and let em look weird like they're having problem shifting.

 

I have noticed most pontiac drivers try to get you to race. Seems to always be Grand am's and Grand Prix's with young male drivers. 60% of the time all of the time if they have a gxp they will bug you to race. Just go the speed limit around a clover leaf and you will have lost them haha.

 

clover leaf speed limit is usually like 30mph :laugh:

 

have you ever driven a pontiac haha 30 would be pushing it

 

You're probably right. :laugh:

I find the clover leaf escape entertaining with all cars though.

 

i'd say they're just saying hi. i do it sometimes. tapping your brakes is a race thing, have you never played NFS......

 

That's a recommended speed. That's for grandmas in their 1974 Ford Grenadas.

 

Kids in Hondas used to rev at me all the time when I had my '91 Mustang GT, it was pretty much a daily occurrence. I've rarely gotten it since then, and NEVER since I got my WRX. Now I just get looks from guys in Evos and SRT-4s, and waves from guys in Subarus.

 

I love the hondoodlers with the 1.5" exhaust plumbing and the far can clamped to the end. My exhaust is somewhat loud, but not like those obnoxious dragonfly-on-crack sounding fart can boys.

When they rev, throw 'em the shocker.

 

I get morons revving their junk at me in my beater wagon. It must be the wheels that are on it.

 

nah...they're just trying to keep the rev up so their v-tak dont go away....just put it in second so they hear ppg whinez...LOL

 

So far i would have to say suuby owners are the friendliest people i meet or even drive past.

 

Slipping the clutch requires torque.

 

Subie owners and Jeep Wrangler owners!

 

where im at the people i get it most from are the worthless 4banger eclipses actually...none turbo charged 50% of the time i just ignore them or give them a 1/8mile run and real them in either is fun. Then oddly enough had a guy in a firebird want to race as well haha. My biggest petpev is when i want someone to race me in this case this 98 corvette. he wouldnt race..i go and stop and talk to some freinds in a parking lot this guy drives by literally 3 times in 45minutes.

 

I love the honda hate on this site. lol
yes 99% of them are slow, and torqueless, but it's the other 1% that make mad POWA.

 

I agree. I've seen a few <10 sec ones that amazed the freak outa me. Since then I have total respect for all makes...just not some drivers.

 

just see it as blindness. people dont understand that throwing 1k into turbo goodies on most hondas would make 95% of the cars on here look like toys.

 

How much reliability does $1,000 represent when you use it to bring your honda up to 300whp?

(Not a counter-point, I'm just not sure. I've never seen one, myself.)

 

no idea, never owned a honda.

ive gotten owned by many boosted hondas however.

 

stock or a complete NA build wouldnt beat some other cars..but once you drop a turbo..like tim said..pwn3d...i respect honda power..but i do not prefer it. :biggrin:

 

Some Honda's don't want to be underated that's why they rev to see if you wanna play en this is what happens:rockwoot:

 

I call those... the one percenters..... they are the ones that suprise you and usualy you know when you are dealing with one of those. There are some respectible hondas out there, but the majority of them are riced out turd slow cars that have unpainted bodykits that rattle so loud you can bearly hear tires squeel, or their exhaust ping away.

 

If only the S2000 was the most common honda

A man can dream

 

good point, I don't see this with mazdas, or DSM guys so much.... but honda and nissan..... I see alot rice there...

OOOOhhhh, and domestics.... Caviliers, and such.... lots of rice.

 

I was waiting for you to chime in here :biggrin:

 

Cobalt guys usual get it right, sentra guys... hit or miss....

 

402whp 346ft tq + 2500lbs: a highway monster

 

you put snow tires on that for the winter?:biggrin:

I'm kidding.... What speed do you trap?

I bet it is fast!

 

meh...straights arent my thing :laugh:
