In case there are any FRS

Just in case there are any FRS or BRZ peeps on here: stop trying to race me from 65-70 MPH rolls. You are embarrassing yourselves and your community. Seriously. I just destroyed the third one in a week. The last one, I had my wife in the car and she was yelling at me the whole time. Stop making me **** off my wife. Please. If I have to go to jail for being a ******* while looking at your headlights in my rearview mirror, I'm going to be one very embarrassed 43-year old in jail.

Maybe you should be more mature for 43 and less of a *******?
Just sayin.

one does not have to try and race in an frs/brz to embarrass themselves. They just have to simply own one. They are fugly and slow.

you want a turbo frs get a genesis. much better looking imo.

I kinda like the looks of them, never had a chance to drive one or see one on the road.

I have heard that they are incredibly slow though. Which is sad

He has a valid point, if you are gonna get worked up and "**** off your wife" over an idiot in a slower car messing with you, you might just have maturity issues. Especially at his age.

Maybe so, but I'm thinking there was a bit of levity sarcasm to the OP's post. While I'm sure the stories are true, does that make it any less fun to **** off your wife by driving too fast at times just to prove a point to a driver who deems himself superior for the car he drives? I know I sure get a kick out of it, and half the time it's just as much about pissing off the wife as it is the other driver. Is there an age limit/restriction for this?

I really hope I'm not dding my Cobalt when I'm 43. I love the car but no way I'll be driving it except on cruise nights.

But why waste your time on a FRS?

Sounds like you need to replace your wife. Mine enjoys trolling people as much as me. And I couldn't get an FR-S to race me if my life depended on it. Around here they all accept that they are slow and just stance them.

Lol I had a BRZ yesterday trying the same thing, but it was from a stop. I would pull away from the light like normal and he would take off like a bat out of hell lol. I knew it was a waste of time but at the next light I decided to shut him up. By the time I was at 5k RPM's in second I was 3 cars ahead lol and I spun all through 1st.

I really like these cars, lots of potential for a project track car. However, they aren't all that fast.
Goes to show you that even after years of the Cobalt being out of production, people still don't know what a turbo balt is capable of. Not ultra fast, but def faster than the "Twins" or a ******* Veloster.
I hardly ever get on the throttle on a public road, and only if its just me in the car. I hate being a passenger in a speeding car myself. I need my hands on the wheel.

Only time this would suck would be getting in an accident with the wife in the car because of a slower car because you need to have a pissing match. Unexpected things happen like a car pulling out or something and you have no control. Best to leave another person out of the car when street racing. I say this from a personal experience which put a good friend 6 feet under with me almost following. Of course this dorsnt happen to everyone. It why put your wife at risk
