Default What a douche...

So I am at a stop sign in my 94 formula, leaving school, and some guy revs it up on me as he passes me by. WS6 on the rear is all i see and a beautiful one at that, a newer one probably 2000. I step on it a fishtail on the turn as I attempt to get on his a**. There is traffic in front of us so I pull to the side and we pull up to a red light. I roll the window down and the guy wont even look at me so he can see the thumbs up I had for him. I also get to see a turbocharged emblem on the side and his car sounds strong. He steps on it while waiting at the red light and his car just wants to launch as the front end rises quickly. As the light turns green I step on it and he bogs out and i let off. We pull up to another red light and still not even a slight turn towards me. He just keeps on reving at me and i wish i could get him. I know the car has mad power but the guy didnt seem like he could drive it. He is probably the third F body owner that is a complete douche on the road. I cant wait to get my 96 project out for guys like them.

We've been seeing a lot of people that don't know how to race or be friendly. Just a streak of bad luck I guess - What do you have done to your car?

I never race other 'birds, that's like brothers fighting - it just doesn't make any sense.

I really dont have much done to it since it is a 94 Formula A4 with 200xxx miles on it. It has k&n CAI, msd box, msd coil, msd wires, ngk tr55's, and CE shocks out back in 50/50 setting. The engine has never been opened up and it still runs strong. I have only the driver seat right now since i have been using it to haul some parts for my project car.

Honestly, the only fbody owners I ever meet that don't rev their cars with just a flowmaster on them are the v6 owners.

Other than rarely seeing an ls1/lt1 being driven by older guys that just drive regularly.

Everyone else around here that has one, whether it's a 305 third gen, or an LT1/LS1 fourth gen, will needlessly rev the **** out of their car and in the best case scenario, will take off cutting off people and doing all kinds of dangerous ****.

It's ******* sickening with how stupid the people are around here.
