Not a Race Story.

A lancer ES cut me off in traffic Saturday night and tried to run on me, needless to say I had to kill him and did several times over. I don't take beeing cut off very well plus I had to slam on my brakes when he did it to avoid hitting him. To piss him off as much as I was I gave him the rice hazard flash when I passed him the first time. Then I let him pass me, he did the same, so I killed him again. Then I hit the brakes, he gets next to me, I kill him again. I did this to him a few more times just to make my point before taking off for good.

What I don't get is why a tool in an ES would do this (try to race me), its not a OZ, RallyArt, or a EVO. I just don't get it. I would understand more if it was a Rally or an OZ that thought it was more than it really is. If had been a EVO I would have done nothing, we all know why.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I would like to stress the point of this post is not racing in the least. Its the way the new generation of import owners act on the streets thats getting to me.

BTW, the RalliArt has a good bit of Hp (160ish I think), very possible a GT COULD get beat by one.

Exactly, I also dont like when people use WHP as a rating. They think because their car has 200whp. Whp means nothing, the GTS and RSX-S has basically the same bhp (within a few) hp. But people not into cars, think the rsx-s is faster because it has 20whp more.

Stats for Rallyart:
Horsepower : 162 hp @ 5750 rpm
Torque : 162 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Redline : 6500 rpm

Top speed : 130 mph(estimated)
0-60 mph : 7.4 sec.(manual), 8.0 sec.(auto)
0-1/4 mile : 15.7 sec @ 89.0 mph(manual)
60-0 braking distance : 135 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.79 g

Curb Weight : 2838-2882 lbs(sedan), 3050 lbs(wagon)
Overall length : 180.3 in.(sedan), 181.3 in.(wagon)
Wheelbase : 102.4 in.
Overall Width : 66.8 in.
Height : 53.7 in.(sedan), 57.1 in.(wagon)

RallyArt: "More then you can afford pal, mitsubishi rallyart!!!'
RallyArt: **vwoom vwoom**
Greg: **Slams on the gas and spits stones at the guy**
Greg: **5 seconds later RallyArt is a Spec in the mirror**
Smokey The Bear: **runs in front of Greg**
Smokey The Bear: "Only you can prevent forest fires"
Greg: "Holy shit, a talking bear!"
Greg: **hits bear, immobilises it, and takes it to the police.

**End Dream Sequence
