I also had a Trans am want to go at it on White. I sped to 45 quick and hit the brakes and he probably accelerated all the way to 100 till the next light. Too bad there wasnt a cop nearby lol.
What color is the trans am? newer model? I think thats the same one that races my buddy in his supercharged grand prix haha

Doesn't natter if you can detect lidar you're screwed either way. Radar is broad so they guess who it was so you have a short warning to slow down. Either way. Its just a help not anything more.

I don't think so. He mashed the pedal after the light changed and cut some other people off. That's not a what's up.

Newer model with what looked like a white or mexican guy driving. I didnt even launch on him. I saw him punch it first as the light turned green and followed suit. Still got to 45 with a good car length on him and slowed down to turn on Yerba buena as he flew by speeding even more lol.

hondas never mess with me, and i live in San Jose

but american v8s often do, but i just tell them to pull over to nearest gas station, parking lot or exit

to see if i can make money out of this guy, after quick discussion, they tend to apologize and or move on, i have yet to make money out of it lol

Had a 5.0 spray on me, he got so mad when I let go and took the offramp. Damn east bay hoodlums.

white eg hatch, black hood, silver deep dish pizza making wheels, and a bigass mirror that went the width of his car. anybody see him on the road, show him what subies are all about!!

If I notice some person who just wants to do some stoplight racing, and just happen to be in the perfect position, I'll probably rev back, then drive normally as they launch themselves out looking like an idiot.

You complain, yet you rev... am I the only one here that thinks you're at fault? I think you fail at avoiding the situation.

I think it's the most fun just to do a subtly hard takeoff from a stop (definitely not a launch but you know, a hard 1500 rpm go) and just pin it through the gears up to 2500 rpm up to whatever the speed limit is. Then again, my N/A Forester is ridiculously torquey down low. Nobody ever messes with a Forester, even mine, which is visibly far from stock haha. I love it.
