Alot of people try to race the SVX?

Do you guys get alot of ricers trying to race you? And by ricer I mean 20 stickers and a pep boys muffler, and they think they have 100 more HP at the wheels.

Some guy in a jeep pulled up to me the other day. gave me a nod and peeled out from a light and cut somebody off almost flipping his jeep and the thing is I didnt eve try to race him, I just ignored him.

It used to happen to me alot...usually people in integras or civics that like to blaze past me. I just burn everyone at the lights now so its no problem . But on a more serious note....the ricers here see the SVX has dual exhaust which makes them back off because they think its some kind of muscle car

Well, if you didnt throw them a couple revs at the light and stare at them with the wanna go look, they wouldnt try and race you.

In my city there are a lot of people have turbos on their hondas and they are all way faster then my svx. Its very depressing knowing that a civic can kick your a**.

Funny, I get Hondas that come up to me at lights. When the light turns green, I go my normal pace. There is no better way to insult to someone than to ignore their race attempt.

We have a dragstrip about 45 minutes outside of Milwaukee. It is cheap to get in, like less than $5 to get in. Plus a lot of local racing shops will give you a pass if you are a frequent customer there.

With the high incident of fatal accidents and pedestrian hits in Milwaukee(about 25 per year), there is no excuse for street racing.

If you guys choose to recklessly endanger the lives of other people, I can't stop you. But you CANNOT post stories about it here.

Street Racing threads are not allowed. Period. End of discussion.
