Had my rev3 for a couple of years now but it still gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside when some idiot pulls up at the lights and wants to race! Most people have no idea how fast tubby's really are which i love XD
Subaru drivers I've found are the most fun, there always mega cocky and theres no better feeling that wiping that smug smurk off there face!!
...So which drivers do it for you?
who do u love beating off the lights?

Re: who do u love beating off the lights?
I love bikes, can get all the power down before them.... but just as you go to change to second gear they are gone!

Go on.....
When I had mine, I actually prefered beating arrogant muppets in brand new Range Rovers and X5's etc. The sort that have £50k - £80k of brand new motor and think it means they will be able to pull of a stunt like that against some one in "an old cheap car" as they would call it. RR Sports were my faves, nothing that weighs 3 tonnes and resembles a bungelow is sporty.

Bikes, Porkers but my absolute favourite is Mk2 Mr2s

Re: who do u love beating off the lights?
lol, the best is to just ignore them, act like your not bothered at all, then smoke them off Or raise an eybrow and glance to the side just before you floor it. Dont do stuff like that often thesedays, but the occaisonal blat can be fun

Re: who do u love beating off the lights?
When i had my tubbies.. Boxsters/TTs/Scoobies/Evos/Z3sohh.. throw in an NSX as well!
Scoobies are amusing though for sure.. once we hit 3rd gear they travell backwards..

Re: who do u love beating off the lights?
i love this scenario... when you get some lil chav and his mates in a 1.2 corsa b or fiesta zetec pull up next to giving it the the eyes & revs, look back at them and smirk (or laugh depending on how stupid they are looking) this really gets them going.
Lights turn green, you then pull away nice and slowly, as they cane the nuts of their engine, wheel spinning wildly, your safe in the knowledge that the police car sitting on the opposite side of the road that they haven't noticed is now going to pull them over.
Hang back and smile & wave as you go past...

Re: who do u love beating off the lights?
It's quite funny to get in front of them and lift off the throttle popping a rather lage and anti-social flame in their direction too. You just need to look in your rear view to see the look of terror in their eyes!
