Default Best ricer kill of my life (to date)

So i pull on the road leading into the city and guess whats in front of me...a super rice bright orange civic hatch (cell pic attached). we get into the city where it starts one way and 2 lanes...i start pacing him and he give me a couple rev's so i'm like sweet we're definitely going to get a dig from one of the million lights coming up...T/C OFF switch to slap stick...a couple of lights and we get lined up, his friend is in the car and messing with some sort of controller or dashhawk who knows, he takes the shift light cover off his monster tach and we wait for green...light turns and i'm out like trout...i'm ahead 3-4 lengths by the time i'm shifting into 3rd and i shut down...here comes the good part...he pulls up next to me on my left at the next red light, before i could roll my window down all the way to ask what he has done to the car, he looks both ways, AND BLOWS THROUGH THE RED LIGHT!!!! hahahaha....what an awesome day

How in the hell can somebody actually think that car looks good. I blame his friends. Good friends would have punched him in the throat the second he said "...so I'm starting to think about painting it orange...".

If it wasn't for D-bags like that, "street-racing" wouldn't be a big problem. It's people like that that **** me off. They're the reason people get injured/killed when "street-racing" is involved, and that's why LEO's have to crack down harder on street racers. ...Anyway /rant.
Nice kill and nice car OP.

I've always asked myself that. How do people think that **** is cool? Who the **** wants a stock civic with a loud *** fart can exhaust, a huge wing, and 4,000,000 stickers. What would leave someone to believe that looks good? You'd think they'd figure it out when people are laughing everywhere they go.

Oh snap! You're the Grand Prix that I raced the other day?! You must have twin turbos on that thing or naaawws. Man I was driftin' through that light...you couldn't tell?!

Seriously the kid probably thought it was just a V6 grand am/prix since these cars are so new and he's probably never seen one. I don't understand the whole "my fart cannon is louder than your car so I'm cooler" attitude. There are so many ricers that sound like complete ****, I don't know what they like about it. I myself like the sound of a V8 climbing past 6K at WOT with open headers.

That's cool, and I'd probably do the same thing (and replace the front fascia with the one from the Commodore), but there are a lot of guys on here that consider that to be a ricer move when somebody puts Honda badges on an Integra/NSX, or Skyline badges on a G35/G37. Wonder how many of them are gonna flip-flop and call what you did awesome?
