Default Metro Bus Couldn't keep up.

Just last night I was following a White MTA Bus doing about 50 in a 40. There are 2 corners in a row up ahead followed by a long straight and then one last corner (all banked 180s). Since I am behind him, I follow him through the first two at 40, however I jump him coming off the 2nd corner and pass him. Of course he is gunna be riding my *** on the straight so I hold it at 45ish. Third corner comes up and I see his head lights drop way back. I hold it stready and go through it at 35/40. He didn't tailgate me the rest of the way home.

I know MTA Buses are not the best handling cars in the world, but I still thought it was funny

I figure he pulled of to the side off the road to wallow in his shame.......

The metro bus derives its reputation from its ability to maul smaller vehicles if it can ge them cornered, its more of a "brawler" than a speedy guy.

I thought about it but then she smiled and i saw a crazy snaggle tooth and knew nothing good could come of that!

I wanted to run him again for pinks but he chickened out!

I would agree with you there, they can be pretty quick though

the 03 MTA's actually came tri-turbo'd, and were produced in competition with the 03 cobra on the straights, but i hear they are actaully quite good in the turns as well, even with a full load. so i find it VERY hard to believe you pulled a MTA bus in your evo through ANY kind of turn... i mean, why would you even challenge one anyways? i would be too scared to lose.


im sorry, i just have to call on this one.

If any of you have ever actually RIDDEN in an MTA, you would know they have A HELL OF A DRIVER MOD (seriously, those guys that have been doing it a while know EXACTLY where the 4 corners are and how that thing behaves.)
