IMO people that drives BMW, Mercedes thinks they own the road, even people that are driving a Ferrari, Lamborghini, don't act all bad ass.

Even when I drive the Supra, the fastest I would go is 70 maybe 75 once in a while, but never any faster.

Car 1: RSX
Cool air intake

Dude, why don't you try changing your cool air intake? By doing so, it will increase your car's bhp. That's what I did. In fact, that was the first thing that I modified. I bought it through the internet. I figured it would be cheaper purchasing items online. Just click intake to access the website where I bought my item. I'm Pierce by the way.

especially BMW drivers!... and about the Ferrari and Lambo drivers, it's because they don't get to afford them until their hair is white and they're scared to drive fast

I'm not an engine modder, but I think you mean Cold Air Intake?

And I agree with Pip on those damn kids and their TCs. When I had my car for the first week up north at Central Michigan, some guy going through a 4 way stop in his TC heading the opposite direction thought he'd show me how fast his car was by chirping his tires as he drove past me.

Speaking of, anyone chirp the stock tires in 3rd yet? I have.

I have a cold air intake, and that link you posted is for CL's... but looking on that site I got mine for much cheaper than what they're selling the Injen CAI for.

But

Well, as I said I was just trying to get home, not race. There was plenty of traffic and third would have been a waste. I was just trying to get him off my bumper. If I'd had room for 3rd I would have.

shouldn't that mean your tires are wearing out then? I haven't done it, but that's because I have much more aggressive tires.

Many different reasons... You could chirp a 90hp geo metro in third if you wanted to, but it would involve revving the engine when you're shifting... essentially launching while moving from third
