testosterone at its finest....I have never done that personally and it's kind of stupid but I can say that I have done that plenty of times when I'm about to race a guy at a light. when you think about it though, if you have a car that has a powerhouse under the hood it isn't necessary to rev at all cuz everybody knows your car is the ish--cases in point: supra , S2000, id's z [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

LoL Relax people. Nothin wrong with a little friendly competition. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I personally think it is kinda silly when the revving happens, especially when your at opposite sides of the intersection, or stuck in traffic, or going opposite ways. That's just plain silly. But um, when they DO do this, I figure next time I see them, its on. Funny thing though, I usually never see them again.

I kind of like the idea that people rev at me.... it makes me feel that these people value my opinion and want you to look at or race their car because you have a "special" car... makes me feel "special" [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

We I did read that in Super Street, and I completely agree with it...I was kind of making a post about it here so I could get other reactions. Does that you happy Hondasport01? Is that what you wanted to hear?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

I've NEVER had anybody rev at me........ maybe because my stereo is too damn loud to hear anything...... or maybe they already know our cars are slow and thats the only thing they can beat???? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I love it when I see another modded vic, teg, accord, or whatever on the road. It's fun to play with other people that share the passion. Although, I was on my way to school today and came across two chicks in gsr that was modded to heck and back. She revved it a little and kinda took off but nothing serious. I had the biggest grin on my face. It was an awesome site. Two beautiful chicks in a gsr and messing around.

(-A tear comes to my eye-) Seriously though, I get a rev every once and a while, kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

revin is for highschool babies who wanna "race" who gives a #$%@ about them? they cant appreciate the true engineering of an internal combustion engine, all they know is "headers make you go fastAr" "exaust makes you loudAr and fastAr" "intercooler makes you fastAr" they dont give a damn about learning anything, and why should you cry over that? let them think they are teh s%&t, they will just do a ricerflyby at a million miles an hour, and get pulled over at the next light anyways.

foreal i get revved at all the time, at least once a day. and then the punk thats revving peals out at the light and looks a like a total dumbass

no lie u shouldnt ever rev at another car unless ur absolutely sure the guy is gonna race u. i dont ever rev cuz my car is slooow and gurlz think its stupid. everytime i got a gurl in the car and somebody revs at me, the gurl jus laughs and calls the dude a stupid azz lol

one time i was at best buy and some guy in a geo metro hatchback with a huge azz aluminum spoiler and huge dual exhaust started revvin like he's a top fuel driver lol. then when he saw me laughin my azz off at him, he tried to play it off and peel out [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

short story that involves 2 fords and a civic: i was driving the speed limit on a one way with three lanes. i was on the the right lane and an escort passes me on the shoulder for no reason. at the next light i move over to the middle lane. on my right is that damn escort and on my left there a thunderbird with all these decals and one of those decal is "5.0"(oooo wow) the light turns green and we take off. of course the thunderbird is in the lead but only by half a car length. i was too busy trying to keep up with the thunderbird that i forgot about the escort. i look back and see the escort that rev at me and passed me illegally way far behind. it never had a chance. at the next light he turns right. i guess to avoid another embarrassment. the thunder bird wanted to go again. i guess he was mad cuz he didnt really smoke me. i already got my rvenge ont the escort so i just let the thunderbird race himself
