I'd definitely say BMW 3 series. Last night I was on my way back to LA while having a little fun with this porsche, this BMW 3 series suddenly rev his engine. Both the porsche driver and me looked at him, shrug, and thought what the heck he was trying to do. We took off and left this pathetic bimmer way behind. It's a 328 with USC license plate on it.

"Guess what guys my sup'd up Civic beat a GS"
Ask the girls who really gives a @#$%

Since there has been a lot of talk about teens in civics,accords,etc. wanting to race everyone they see, i figured that i should say something (me being a teen right now...17 since aug. 9) Right now im driving a 97 4Runner SR5 (long story bout my SC, but im gettin it ack at Christmas), but I remember that when i was driving the SC, i always had kids my age wanting to race me. The first few times i raced them. I mean *** (
) on, I was a 16 yr. old w/ and SC300 (w/ almost every fact. option/accessory) i then realized that it was stupid to race these guys, cause if a cop saw me, I would most likely get the ticket b/c i would be in front.
I know that whenever i would pull up to a 5 series or sumthing though, I would taunt it but they wouldn't do anything. I did race like 300 GTs, Supra NAs, etc. Now that i am driving a stock 97 4Runner SR5 (w/ mud all over it), i still get guys taunting me. When i pull up to a light beside some lil riced out civic, i will notice that he is acting like a normal person, but when he looks over at me and realizes that im around his age, he starts revving his engine, turning up his crappy a** sound system, etc. Then when the light turns green, he's off (in about 8 sec. 0-60 though
) I dont do anything b/c i know that my 4Runner doesn't do anything. However, i do know a few guys who own civics that are purely racing cars (not rice boys) and they feel the same way we do when a riced out civic,etc. taunts them.

I hear u guys about $$$ not equaling speed. The main reason i got a GS wasnt to race but for the luxury and the smooth ride. (the speed was just a perk
) not only does teens drivin integs and civics pick on me, but cops seem to have the same affect. I've had my car for less 5 days and i already got pulled over by a cop because he thought i stole the car. Man seems like the GS isnt a choice a teen should b driving.

I'm having a hard time to figure out your "TRD Strut Bar, L-Tuned Shocks, L-Tuned ECU, Kicker Resolution/Eclipse mids/highs..."?
Website promotion? What's that? No one likes BMW in here?!

I agree with you sleepyboi,when I first got my LS I was tempted into racing ricers when they would rev,but now I do not even bother although some ricers might be fast but the majority are a waste of time.
They still bother me from time to time and they stare at me at stoplights like they know me or something,but next week I am going to tint my windows hella dark all around so I could be flippin them off while they try to stare thur the tint

So you've come on this board to harass us Lexus owners too huh? It's not enough to pick on 300ZXTT's?
Welcome man. Good to see a familiar face/handle.
PS Any more kills lately? Are you going to sell your famous HID-like headlights to the Lexus owners?

Thanks for the welcome =) Yes it was fun picking on that 300ZXTT.
I'm not here to harass but to participate since my sister purchased a 01 GS430 a couple months ago. And my Xenons are basically for BMWs but I did fit the foglights on my sister's GS (I broke the amber coating) and it looks rather nice!
Regards,

I give the gs4 more credit than that and have to stick behind it.Remember stock were a 300hp RWD V8. A few of the mandatory bolt ons like intake,exhaust,TC etc and alot of cars have alot of catching up to do. Add a SC and there you go.

I had an interesting experience with a person trying to race me while I myself was driving a BMW 750iL for a charity event. A 5.6L V-12. Who tries to race me? A 2.4L Altima. I wasn't even in a race mode, so I didn't even try. He then floors it past me and starts laughing out of his window like he actually accomplished something...
I don't get a lot of BMW drivers trying to race me. I've found most 5 series drivers to be pretty nice. I find that a lot of BMW drivers look at my headlights for some reason.
It's true, though, that I usually get the most from Accords and Civics. I used to drive an Accord myself, so I know what they can do, and obviously no contest, especially if it is a rice infected Honda.
Then of course sometimes there are those American crap drivers...
And it's sick too when these rice cars blast their 4 speaker stereos.
