V35 Atracting Boy Racers

[AlexanderWilde]

I had a HOLDEN SS try to run me at the lights on Warringah Road Frenchs Forest and i ignored him, lights turn green - he guns it must of reached at leased 100K and surprise surprise behind us there was a FPV F6 unmarked cop car, i smiled when the cop puled him over and i just continued to drive normaly past.

My question is i seem to get alot of holdens V8's and WRX's that try to race me, i ignore them because i like my car 2 much to run the risk of losing it or losing my license and i have lost 2 many friends because of stupid boy racers, but is it just me that seems to get this or is my V35 atracting idiots that wanna race, is anyone else noticing this?

Yes it does attract a bit of attention, my wife drives our V35 most of the time (don't want to leave it at the train station) and she occasionally comments some young "hoon" revs their engine at the lights beside her.

[interfooler]

Only 2 encounters so far. A 180SX tried to drag me at the lights and a monaro pulled up right beside me at the freeway trying to signal me to race.

lol i always check my rear view for un-marked commo's or falcons, even then u still run a risk. thats why u try stay towards the end of the pack of cars when cruising around so you can go as fast as u want and see all. But when its just normal driving just ignore the 'hoons' =P

Always have commo's and loads of P platers trying to run me.

Most annoying is seeing them weave in/out of traffic just to catch you, then roll up along side and BAM speed off as if to say "Yea, stupid Jap crap is slow as"

[whtbox]

yeh i had a similar one incident with Supra and did the same by ignoring him. While he do the Tyre smoking acceleration.

Yeah, you do get that sometimes. But also I've had really good people at lights that talk about the cars, mostly imports owners.

Speaking of which, I had a Daewoo sedan with 4 people in the car catch up to me doing 85km/h in 70km/h from behind last night. I was like "Here we go again". At the next lights, he showed me thumbs up with everyone looking at my car, and then they floored it. What is the meaning of that? I am not going to race with a Daewoo.

Yup. I was laughing my head off in the car when they did that.

I mean...Come on, Daewoo sedan with 4 people. I can still see their tail lights for another 10 minutes even after flooring it.

lol

Haha thats a good idea!

[turbosuk]

yeah i get a lot of p plate drivers try and race me i just ignore them as i need my licence for my job as a truck driver

and a lot of the time i have my 2yr old grand daughter in the back

[180 wanabe]

No one has ever tried to race me at the lights... prob cus 1/2 the people who randomly come up and ask about the car think its a R35 LOL

[Yin_Sun]

I sometimes get people trying to race me. But most of the time people just ask me what the car is! Not many V35 Coupes north of Bisbane.

I still remember when the guys at Audio Barn told me my card doesn't exist

But yea, when people do want to race it's usually P platers in Falcons and Commodores. Most import owners just want to have a look

[Kingsly67]

I actually had a guy in bright orange and chrome Hummer try to give me run today !!!

[will's35]

actually, a drag race on the public road is meaningless.... people rock up with a V8 or something that means you don't have a chance...

then someone with a shit box and fart cannon won't make you excited......

Did it once, and only once..... A stupid Mazazdddaaaa 3 Sp something.... keep going left and middle and right and middle and left just to keep up with me

then I smoked him on the uphill stretch of the road.... yea.... shit box mazda 3 can't keep up... But I feel like a douchebag>.<

[180 wanabe]

Meh if I want to win races @ the lights I take the bike

[xtc]

prob shouldnt say this but had many runs with whores and boreds, had heaps of *wow nice is that the new gtr?* heaps of comments at the lights and at petrol stations. heaps of is that the new 350z?

on the note of unmark car... i had an unmarked wrx stil hatch tailgating me...i floored it, pulled me over, cop a 7demerits $1k loss of licence. at the end of the day you get enthusiasts and you get the idiots.
