Holden's me off..

DABOSS · 11-11-2007, 11:47 PM

After a nice dinner with the miss at the usual, we're cruising home , All of a sudden this VE GTS tail gates right up my ( Not Happy ) thinking whats this 's problem, So change lanes from the centre lane to the far left lane this dick follows.

Next set of lights is red, I take off normal 80kph limit, this guy wouldn't give up his dying for a race, I let it go , he gets ****ed , driving closer to my car and , at this stage I've had enough wacked it back down to 2nd already had him by 3 cars at speed XXXkph. I slow back down to speed limit , I put the window down and say to him you happy now . he just puts his thumb up and drives off like the pussy that he is.

This type of s h i t just pev's me off. I just cant drive my GT anyware without someone wanting to race. :evil3:
The price some pay for having a quick street GT.

Probably thought he was gonna get a "kill," in his shiney new GTS 307. Oops...

I'll happily take the mods off your car free of charge if you don't like the extra attention they entail!!

I bet he wishes he had your car instead of his GTS...

I have heard that cops are using similar antics to catch people for street racing. Be careful.

They do. Mate lost his licence after getting sucked into racing an undercover EDXR6 (long time ago).

That would be double Standards , By law they cannot guess your speed based on their speedo ( Racing you ), they must also be in a stopped parked position in order to get your speed reading from a radar device.

Nothing to do with this case but that is not true, there are marked cars with raidars on the roof to catch you speeding if you are going in the other direction, these are used while they are mobile. I found out the hard way.

You must have at least felt a little bit good beating him in his nice new piece of ............

Unless it's a mobile radar?
And there's nothing to stop them from calling it 'hooning' rather than calling it 'speeding' and associating a numeric digit.

Thanks, Casey

I'd say they'd be more inclined to call it Hooning rather then speeding as the effect of hooning is alot more to the point , they take your car away for a period of 48hours the first time.

As a posed to speeding it's just points and a fine, I know what I'd be given out if I was a cop.

radar/lidar works while the car is moving as well.

This is why all new undercover highway patrol cars are being fitted with cameras which have a GPS speed set in them, which can obviously be shown in a court of law...

Street racing is stupid and illegal, im sure all of us have done it at one point in our stupid lives, but with the way the laws are getting not its easier to watch and laugh.. I find up here in QLD the only ones who really want to race are the losers in their shitbox VS's etc, most people who have the money to have a decent car nowadays respect them and try and do the right thing on the streets.

my life isnt stupid. lol

I have done it a couple of times. But its been on the tonkin hwy. You get to the lights and a crappy "VS commy" pulls up next to you with altezza tail lights and a big jet pilot sticker on the back. They rev there engine thinking there car is allmighty and powerfull. Then I take off and have 5-10 car lengths on them by 100kmh(the speed limit), and thats where I back off.

WOLF · 12-11-2007, 02:57 PM

the attraction to GT's is undeniable, especially if there are obvious "go" enhancements....I must admit if I see one of these in traffic, can't help but catch up and have a closer look and even a flirt hehe

The sound of two V8's side by side making sweet music makes my day!

fmc351 · 12-11-2007, 12:01 AM

Yay, Im a boyracer.

Jayden · 12-11-2007, 12:10 AM

That never happens to me.

cant put my finger on why though. oh thats right GLi

asusdragon · 12-11-2007, 12:55 AM

they would most likely get you for dangerous driving not speeding

RG · 12-11-2007, 01:01 AM

I feel your pain, even Fords want to try to race me for some reason, only ever Ba/f's though. Must be an inferiority complex

That's what I was thinking.

I love it how people whinge about someone trying to drag race them, but really it's their own fault for being suckered into it, in the first place. So yeah I agree he's just as bad, as the bloke in the GTS.

Try owning a quick EVO man. Everyone wants to race me from beat up old Senators to R34 Skylines to brand new HSV's. I've only run two. The rest I don't bother with and just keep driving.
