Has Anyone ever been challenged.....?

[sim citi]

By this, i mean another random car pulls up next to you (or behind you) and you know by the way they are rev-ing (or looking at you), their asking you for a race/test of some sort.

Just had a 08 golf gti (yes gti) try it with me on a dual c-way...and to my surprise, my m-jet (standard spec) was meters ahead in no time...lol.

(i could tell the driver was pi$$ed because as i slowed down to come off at the next junction, he swerved into the lane next to me for 1 second, then swerved back to go straight on)

Share your stories.

Im surprised if your standard Mjet can do that, my remapped one can just keep up with GTIs......

Had a EP3 Civic Type R have a go earlier tonight, kept him honest

I played cat and mouse with a 2006 Mondeo ST/RS not sure which, on Sunday night.

And Stilo had him on one bit because the Mondeo had it in the wrong gear I think. God they hated me :devil:

driving a 700kg car with ~110bhp suprises a few people on the road, especially considering it has no bean tin exhaust or stupid spoilers / wheels

Only twice. Once I was in a Lancia Y10 Turbo and had a XR3i challenge me away from some lights. I went through the motions, creeping forward and revving the engine. The lights changed and Mr. Escort went screaming off with a smell of tortured rubber. I instantly responded by moving off and sedately turning left into a side road. I had visions of Medallion Man punching the air when he realised he'd left me for dead only to park up and wait for me to arrive and then smirk. I also imagined him still waiting there 20 minutes later with the smile slowly fading from his face.

The other time was when I was on my bike and it wasn't so much a challenge as him driving along about 5 yards from my rear tyre. I just let him go. Mind you, I did burn him off eventually because I came across him at the side of the road on his mobile as a pool of black oil slowy spread across the road and into the gutter. I gave him a toot and a nice cheery wave. I'm sure he appreciated that.

I generally torture Paxo Vtrs...after the addition of a fat lass in the passenger seat, boot full of cheap audio, 17in rims a huage exhaust, a cold air feed made from a tumble drier hose and a given no maintenance ever are best described as easy money..

 

[JFL]

i get it quite a lot

now they have to see me though rather then the car tbh

but the mummy wagon will leave quite a few

 

[Gary]

Yes today while in the coupe,

left a Bmw 325 behind also a Porsche boxter

Best challenge i ever had was when i had the Multipla remapped and i left a Saxo VTR behind in a trail of black smoke they were not amused

There was a lad in our town who had fitted a 6R4 bodykit to his standard Metro....

(For those who are too young to remember the 6R4 it looked like this:

....Except his had 6 x 12 Wellers and a Cherry Bomb exhaust so as you can imagine it was all mouth and no action!

Anyway, out one night cruising about and we came alongside him at the lights....

It was a main junction and they had just turned red so we had a couple of minutes to wait....

He looked across and gunned his 1.1 (or whatever it was), his Cherry Bomb making a right racket....

I looked at my mate, looked back at him, a planted my right foot....

Well all I can say is, there's nothing like 5.7 litres of small-block Chevy to take the wind out of somebody's sails....

Needless to say, he put his indicator on and turned left when the lights went green....

As the saying goes...."There's no replacement for cubic displacement!"

:slayer:

As for this century, I did spank an older-style Impreza on the way home yesterday....It was immaculate, had every rally accessory you could think of, bean can exhaust, the obligatory SUBARU written on the sun visor, and I could tell by the noise it was making that he changed down and had his foot to the floor....

The 100hp left him for dead!....Again all show, no go!

Yeah right what about a 100shot of NOS and a stonking huge turbo the size of a jet engine :devil:

End result might be the same, but the feeling of 300lbs/ft of torque under your foot is quite something.... :devil::slayer:

I beat a Nissan Navara once in my 1.2 GP! There were 2 lanes for straight on and everyone knows there's stuff parked the other side so you use the outside lane. I saw him undertaking stuff behind on his way up to the lights. Bet he thought he would easily take me, unfortunalty for him I had nothing in the car, low on petrol and nice set of new tyres and better timing so in the end my 65bhp GP forced him to retreat and wait for someone to let him back into the lane. I think he lost about 10 places

Yes N/A big displacement torque is much better than "artificial turbo torque" I must admit :yum: .
