: G8 GT vs Focus ZX3 = ZX3 getting pulled over!
BobtheMonkee 10-23-2008, 01:49 AM I was out for a wonderful night of designated driving for 4 friends on friday when they started trying to get me to race someone. I wasn't really in the mood for it, as i was getting slightly annoyed by their drunken banter.
But, the opportunity presented itself. I was stopped at a red light when i heard an unattractive farting noise nearby. At first, i was going to yell at one of my friends for farting into my leather, but i looked next to me and saw a yellow Focus ZX3. The driver was looking at me with that stupid "im a complete badass" look and "revving" his ricer. So, i decided to give my friends what they wanted. The light turned green and I gunned it. I Immediately jumped a car length ahead. By the time i got to the speed limit (50 mph), i was a full 3-4 lengths ahead. At that time, i let off the gas and the ZX3 went flying by, followed by the car behind me pulling up beside me. He paused next to me for a moment, flashed his red and blue lights, gave me a dirty look, and proceeded forward to pull over the ZX3.
Awesome, another vicious kill AND he got busted! Bad night for the ZX3 ricer!
MANOFSTEEL69 10-23-2008, 04:38 AM Look, not to burst your bubble, but a ZX3, even tuned isn't a battle for a stock V6 G8 GT, let alone an eight. I have both a ZX3 and a ZX5 SVT.......Please don't embarrass yourself by calling this a kill. A SRT-4 Neon, Stage II turbo, then you can brag a little.
danlewis 10-23-2008, 06:10 AM What was the ZX3 guy thinking trying to race with a G8 GT? I say the ZX3 guy asked for it, and Bob gave him a red and blue flashing suppository for his efforts.
ksiu71 10-23-2008, 07:11 AM let's give him a break. he did have 4 extra peeps in the car. For argument's sake let's just assume they are all dudes at 200+ each.
BobtheMonkee 10-23-2008, 08:45 AM i considered the kill more that he got pulled over and I didnt than me beating him off the line...thats all i was really bragging about...oh well :(

I liked the story, it was funny! A kill is a kill, none the less.
I wish I could get more street races up here..... *sigh*

Zaphod B 10-23-2008, 12:42 PM You know what really pisses me off about the "Kills" forum?
Every time someone reports an encounter, there is at least one ******* who wants to be a buzz killer.
"Hate to tell you, but.....___________"
or
"Dude, no way you could have beat that car. It must have been a _________."
I say STFU and let people enjoy their stories.
Now back to work! :drink:

Event3Horizon 10-23-2008, 10:23 PM changing the subject, do you guys launch the G8 by holding the break at a certain RPM then nailing it?
Smtkd 10-23-2008, 10:24 PM Well here's a kill for ya. Im coming back from my weekly trip from South Carolina on I-85S to Atlanta, when I noticed a All Black sport sedan with HID's in my review. So I let off the gas and it so happen to be a guy in a new model Audi A4. So he takes off and slows down, letting me know he wants to race. So I nod to him and we take off from a 70mph start. I LEFT HIS A$$$$$$$$$!!!!! He was in my rear view until I hit 154. So I eased off and waited on him. Poor bastered took the next exit, so I followed his A$$ and at the next light I laughed at him. I then turned around and noticed a GA State Trooper. He caught it all on tape; appearently I left him too. He only gave us a warning because he forgot to calibrate his radar! :D BTW: the GA State Trooper had a Dodge Charger. Glad I had my tune and limiter taken off.

:rolleyes: What's with some of these idiots? I got a V6 Mustang a month ago or so. Sheesh. I wasn't going to bother, but his buddy was leaning out the passenger side window egging me. Had to do it, ya know?
SHub'68 10-23-2008, 10:44 PM changing the subject, do you guys launch the G8 by holding the break at a certain RPM then nailing it?
Hell, against a V6 Mustang, you just leave it in normal shift mode and ease into the gas!!

What is a stage 2 turbo on a Neon? What manufacturer? What does that mean?
Most people don't buy parts on "gran turismo".

Well, that's one of my pet peeves. It's a ricer term. Mostly because most ricers do things in stages I guess? It's really prevalent on the Subaru forum I used to visit.
Just call your mods what they are...CAI, LTH, cat back, cam, etc.
Irks the hell out of me when I hear the term Stage I or Stage II. Think I saw mention of it on this forum...raised the hairs on the back of my neck.

I've seen that. They start with a lower body kit, in gel coat, sometimes two or three different colors for effect, that's stage one.
Stage two is the rear wing 18" off the deck - out of the airflow so that it does not slow them down.
Stage three is the 6" diameter by 2' resonator/tip sticking out behind the bumper looking more like a JATO than a muffler.
Stage four is aluminum pulleys and CAI, now is when we're really working those 150 hp engines up to 155!!!
Stage five is a set of lavender scented Kuhmo's and blowing enough smoke to make people think you really have something more than 4 in-line hamsters under the bonnet.
BobtheMonkee 11-12-2008, 08:41 AM Dont forget chief,
Stage six, you get NoS and various other racing stickers all over your car. The more the merrier, as each sticker you add gives you an added 4 horsepower (except the NoS sticker, which gives you 10!!!)
MissNaySimon 11-22-2008, 12:20 AM Chances are that I've seen that stupid Focus. There are really terrible ricers around here.

say what????? embarrass HIMSELF???? doesn't matter if you race a moped or a murcielago...winning is winning. i'm afraid your paradox is inaccurate.
he won...and that's all that matters.
The Commodore 11-22-2008, 02:37 PM can someone please explain the "stages" like "I or II"
i mean when i talk to muscle they tell me they have "CAI, stat, headers, cat-back, etc."...
i ask the not very muscle and they tell me "i have a stage II"
WTF is that?
i hear it all the time and i have no idea what it means...at first i thought they were putting bigger turbos for like Stage I or Stage II but then realized that not every SRT4 owner car afford a new turbo
is it similar to some performance sites selling "performance packs"?
i had someone tell me his friend with a Stage II SRT4 would kill me....i asked him what it was...he didn't know

YES!!!!
This is my biggest pet peeve!
It's gotta be a ricer term, since thats the arena you hear it the most. How the hell it's drifting to AMERICAN V-8 muscle is beyond me. I've heard it mentioned lightly in this forum.
On a side note...
May I ask the meaning of your avatar???
The Commodore 11-22-2008, 03:10 PM YES!!!!

LOL open for self interpretation:wink2:
...looked hilarious so i put it there
if i had to make a wild guess i would say its ghetto for "for real?" lol
the owl with the fro just compliments the saying
