Warning: Dont get too cocky (ok and a rant)

[Mocoso]

So Ive seen a lot of posts about how the MS3 killed the Mustang, the VW, the Civic, the Scion, the XYZ, the ABC, you name it....

Aside from the customary: take it to the track, street racing doesnt prove anything other than you are mortal warning Ill add a second warning:

While the MS3 is fast, a sports car bordering on supercar performance it is NOT.... take a step back and get a reality check specially if you were the idiot on the 101 fwy yesterday trying to score another kill. WTF were you thinking? while it will give EVO's and subi's a run for their money all you'll get against the likes of the corvettes is to be a nice backstop for the flying rubber and people laughing their ass off at how stupid you look trying to smoke a car completely out of your class.....

Sorry I had to vent... had an idiot (yes in a MS3 sadly enough) try to egg me on to race him. Guy started getting dangerous (cut in front, slam on brakes, get next to me and rev the engine, etc....) - should have seen the look on his face when he got boxed in doing 55 MPH behind the old lady from Pasadena...

Wasn't me dude, I swear! lol I'm well aware of my car's place on the food chain, not to mention I don't street race.

What color was it? Were you in the C6 or the MS3?

I get stuck behind the old lady from Pasadena all the time... she's EVERYWHERE!

 

[slammie]

Sounds like you ran into a real asshole! Hopefully, most of us (including me if I ever get the MS3) will have sense to take care, drive wisely, and respectfully. With that said, I wouldn't misinterpret people's enthusiasm about their cars on this site to equate to delusions of grandiosity or death wishes on the highway.

Hmmmm it was a blue one with the 2.3 badges on the side! (lol2) .. actually was a black one and yes I was in the C6... it was amusing at first until the guy got dangerous...

btw: your engine fully broken in yet? Ive already hit 1000 miles in 2 weeks LOL! the C6 was starting to feel abandoned....

Understood... be assured I wont place all who post enthusiastic posts in my ahole bucket...mainly I just needed to vent- it was just disapointing that the one other MS3 I finally run into on the road happens to have the AHole of the year as a driver...but all makes have their lot I understand that

if he had driven a lot more safely i dont think it would have been that big of a deal..dont forget ams is working on an ms3 now too!! would'nt want to get caught with near 1000hp ams ms3 trying to race you! , lol ..but yea lame to make it dangerous just to race....it's already dangerous enough racing on the road

 

[CTGrey02]

Your going to find a lot of younger drivers in these things that have no idea where they stand in the food chain and buy this car with the sole purpose of using it to race when ever they can. Testosterone plus reasonable speed = idiots. Any car you want to run against will likely be at the drag strip, local auto cross or road course. No reason for behavior like that in road going traffic.

Sooooo close.. I'm at about 480mi!

Definitely will be broken in by this Saturday! Are you planning to come to any of the meets we're having Saturday? Go ahead and bring the C6 instead of the Speed (alright) haha
My boost gauge just arrived! LOL

 

[tavarua88]

it wasn't me. i was driving from dealer in glendale to culver like a little old lady with my black GT. I only really gunned it a little this morning to work.

 

[Hyun]

street racing when there is heavy traffic is no no
When there is no cars on the street .. 1am-5am... then it's all good as long as you know the risk of going to jail and getting your license suspended.
As for me, i know a friend of mine who owns private land. Lucky me

 

[TheDutchGun]

Very justified angry post Mocoso. I run into morons like that in all kinds of different cars almost daily (when my car isn't stored that is).

 

[SwampAss]

I've waxed a C6. I've waxed two 911 turbos. Between you and I, I'm glad I don't detail anymore.

hahaha, thats the funniest thing i have EVERY read...
BOTH cars have MORE power, and weigh less.... I'm 100% positive thoose three drivers were f-ing with you, or you are full of B.S.... or both. sorry i doubt anyone in there right mind would believe that, even us mazda enthusiast who love our mazdas, but most of us know what is legit, and what is a pile of crap.

as for the forum topic, i agree, there is nothing more annoying than someone trying to race you on the freeway or downtown traffic even. there is a place and a time for racing, and the freeway is not one of them.

Yeah I wouldn't want to get caught anyone near a 1000hp FWD MS3 trying to race anything.. it would torque steer and crash into someone.. at any speed. 1000hp to the front wheels is just a big waste of time.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

are you dense? He meant waxed them as in detailing them...not in a race...he made that apparent by his last statement...

Being an older, not that old though, member I can agree that street racing isn't the smartest thing to be doing, but occasionally it happens even if you are just opening the engine up for a moment. I know where my car stands on the food chain, and I wouldn't egg a big fish on, but sometimes if the big fish feels like running, I'll run with him. I know I don't stand a chance but it is nice to give them a little surprise doing as good as we can.

now that really is one of the funniest things i read on here in a while

I don't race on the street, but damn, there was this cute girl in a little red something and we sure had a good time coming down the twisties this morning. Shouldn't do it, but it was fun! Got to work ready to get something done.

 

[slammie]

Daonly1....I think Swamp's got your number.

It was a joke, you twit!
