I launched at about 1200 rpms then under hard acceleration at 25 or 30 mph is when the wheel hop started. The ground was dry so i was surprised that it started while moving at that speed.

I change into the far left lane and what does he do? Cuts me off real sharp (from about 2 car lengths ahead) so I hit my turn sigs and take the middle lane again. I am like half a car from his rear and he decides to swipe across the lane in front of me again. I honked and moved into the right most lane, and after we came to a red light I look at him and he gives me the finger.

I didn't really care (haters gonna hate lol) but my girlfriend was with me and she saw it, got upset and called the police. There were two men in the front seats. And I could hear the passenger swearing at me in spanish (I am fluent) about my passenger having called the police. That was a fun night.

And I don't even have a GT lol, I have the v6 model.
I used to have a 2004 MPV. ****kkking boss man.

Shift before VTec kicks in.

Damn dude, how'd you get all that raw power down? I hear they come supercharged and with nitrous from the factory!

Lol jk bro, but srs- some people on the road need to just grow up. Lately I see fewer teenagers doing crazy stuff, and more middle age/grown men with their girlfriends trying to compare dick sizes by cutting each other off, and drag racing in 4 lanes of traffic.

^Hahaha! It's gotta be true with that kind of boost!

Lol at gas pedal, I feel like that was from some thread a while ago? I must have missed it because a lot of people were talking about it...
