Yeshe Turbocharged August 10, 2009 Share August 10, 2009 I often hear about 'average' or 'sub-performance' car trying to outrun supercars. What are in these driver's mind? Earlier i witness a BMW135Ci chasing/tailgating a lambo on a normal road. Funny thing is the lambo wasnt even trying; cant even hear the engine noise previously, a copen tried to outrun my friend's F430 Strange strange people ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispie 5th Gear August 10, 2009 Share August 10, 2009 Inferiority complex? Just like those sad cases of Lancer ex mimicking Evo X, Impreza with STI badge, even nissan sunny donning a GTR emblem. Also with Altis that is 'sportified' with rear air diffusers, high GT wings etc... Not a sports car means not a sports car.. why try so hard ah?

Lab4games 1st Gear August 10, 2009 Share August 10, 2009 tailgating doesn't mean they r challenging the faster car.. most likely they just want to overtake? anyway don't bother with such cars, move aside and let them overtake. when i saw a GTR filtering here and there n speeding away, after 2-3 junctions later, he was also there waiting for traffic light. haha in SG really no place to run.

LL both must stop for traffic light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermitage 1st Gear August 11, 2009 Share August 11, 2009 I often hear about 'average' or 'sub-performance' car trying to outrun supercars. What are in these driver's mind? Earlier i witness a BMW135Ci chasing/tailgating a lambo on a normal road. Funny thing is the lambo wasnt even trying; cant even hear the engine noise previously, a copen tried to outrun my friend's F430 Strange strange people Dunno about ego or inferiority complex but to me, it sounds more like STUPIDITY! Why Oh Why would you wanna try and outrun a Lambo in a 135Ci?! Worse, how can the driver of the Copen (guys...this is a COPEN ya know...from Daihatsu...) ever imagine that he's got a chance against a Ferrari F430!! It's a FERRARI you crazy fool!! What were you THINKING?!?! Which brings us back to the topic of 'mindset'. Unless the copener has never ever heard of a Ferrari, I cannot think of any other reason he would even try. I'll bet the Ferrari driver didn't even bother In the case of the BMW vs Lambo, one reason I can think of is that they are friends going rounding. Another one, maybe they are colleagues in the same 2nd hand car dealer company which sells both vehicles. Nothing else comes to mind... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjgoh Neutral Newbie August 11, 2009 Share August 11, 2009 There are A LOT of IDIOTS out there... Lots. Just drive ANYTHING, and they'll wanna Prove A Point. God damned stupid Altos, Vios, ordinar Mit Lancers, Honda Civic,. etc.. the usual suspects. After taunting you on the expressway, and when you outrun them what do you get? Black Face... or red or maybe even dispappear from your rear view mirror altogether. I get one idiot early this month, cust into my lane in the middle while travelling KJE towards Jurong at 90; MF'er slows down making me rub off speed as well, then when I tried to overtake he speeds up! Oh ok... so I ate him up for lunch in 2 gear changes - dropped to 4 and he was history. He didn't bother to try after half a kilometer.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfair 3rd Gear August 11, 2009 Share August 11, 2009 how often you get to pit your car against a lambo or ferarri ? they just want to see what their car can do when pushed to max. I dun mind getting ripped by a lambo :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
