Grand Am GT vs. SRT-4

First, a bit of background. Every year, they resurface some of the roads in my city. When they do this, they take off the top layer of a section of road. Sometimes when they do this, there can be a considerable bump where they made the cut into the section of surface they've removed. Quite often, you can take these bumps at the speed limit...but once in a while, the bump is so severe, it will cause damage paticularly if you have low profile tires if you don't slow down. At these bumps, they erect a temporary "Bump" sign, and it's usually wise to obey the sign and slow down.

I was out driving with my wife riding shotgun. I approached a red light with a blue Neon SRT-4 sitting in the right lane on a road where they're resurfacing the intersection and a small part of the road either way on the one which I'm travelling on. I've been here before and know that the bump by the "Bump" sign up ahead is quite severe. The sign is in plain sight and is easily seen from where we are. As I pulled up next to the Neon, the kid behind the wheel revved his engine to be sure I could hear it. It was definitely an SRT-4. I looked over, grinned, popped into neutral and gave him a rev back. He sneered at me and started revving a lot more. My wife gave me a puzzled look, so I gave her a wink. She said, "Oh, I know that you know that there's a big nasty bump up past the intersection; what I can't figure out is if he knows it and is trying to goad you into slamming into it." I said to her, "Only one way to find out."

I put it back into drive, turned off traction control, and just when the light turned green, I goosed the gas pedal to get a chirp out of the tires. I had the jump on the SRT-4, which then exploded into a cacophony of screeching tires and a revving turbocharged engine. I said to my grinning wife, "Well, now we know." Since I only goosed it for the chirp and wasn't actually trying, he rocketed away from me at a very good rate of speed. I was actually impressed. Then...BOOM. I swear we could feel the shockwave from when his car hit that bump. He was still going, but it was evident from the rate I was closing in on him that he was no longer accelerating. I slowed right down for the bump, rode over it, and saw him stopped up ahead on the side of the road. I continued at my slow rate of speed to have a good look; sure enough, he had two flat front tires and the rims were bent up and cracked. Well, at least on the driver's side; I'm assuming the passenger side was the same. Who knows what other damage he did to his drivetrain; I'm almost certain I saw something dripping under his car. He was just getting out to inspect the damage when he saw me rolling by. He gave me a real evil look, to which my wife rolled back the sunroof and waved. When I was past him, I slowed even more, put on the 4 way flashers, then sped off.

Good thing it was just a Neon. :grinno:

Pointless post.

El Retardo...

Let's see here....... Grand Am....something to brag about??

not so much....remember....you just have a grand am.... :grinno:

I'm with the dog...pointless post...

you put your flashers on?

wow... you're awesome

:banhim:

Why would an SRT-4 start revving it's engine just because a Grand AM pulled up next to it? :bs:

yeah cuz family sedans are a threat...DUHHHHHHH...

he was hoping to scare down digitalquirk to get him to back down....obviously pissing his pants at the time...

After reading this I would aprove if you died.

:banhim:

Why would an SRT-4 start revving it's engine just because a Grand AM pulled up next to it? :bs:because it was threatend by its RAM AIR induction, and his Enhanced Traction System :rolleyes:

She said, "Oh, I know that you know that there's a big nasty bump up past the intersection; what I can't figure out is if he knows it and is trying to goad you into slamming into it."

What kind of dickhead would do something like that?



Oh yeah...you.

i love it when ppl get kicks out of other ppl fucking up there car when they wax ur ass

oviously he wanted to prove a point to the kid. always know where your racing, like in this case the road conditions. anyone can floor it, but if you dont know the road conditions, he'll do something wrong.

but n e ways, if it was him who came revving up to him in the first place i dont think much of any thing. it was the kid who was going to pull off anyway trying to be slick in his 'nice new ride'. just shows how smart you have to be when racing digital. he might just put a bump in the middle of the track where your racing....it kinda sounds like what Shingo did aganst Tak in Initial D and crashed his ride trying to win no matter what happens

For the sake of www.automotivefourms.com and its street racing section please

NEVER COMPARE REAL RACING TO FUCKING INITAL D

I still call b/s all this guys stories are just ramblings of a sexually confused little man who wishes he wasn't driving a grand prix that is owned by his wife *or 1st cousin depending who you ask* and had his own car. So in his rage to the world makes up stories of tormenting ricers when nothing more this mid 30s year old man *I use that term of man VERY loosly* wants then to be driving a civic and hanging out with 16 year olds buying them beer to fit in.

:banhim:

I'm not a huge fan of the post either, but I've had SRT-4's rev me in my stock Grand Prix GT. Some people just like to race people they know they can beat I guess.

I see the phrase
'Insult to injury'

Goes past most of you.

I thought it was kinda funny myself.

yes oh wise one...
We mock him for we do not understand his greatness.

We have been foiled let us not shame our familes anymore and offer ourselves to the lord.

this story might have been funny had it been A: true : had more detail C: Funny.

I'm going to have to fail him on this post.

It goes beneath most of us. I suppose it would be funnier if it happened to you...then I'd laugh.

I came back in here looking for that 2 minutes I lost, but dammit, I lost another 5!

I gotta stop doing that. It's a good thing I'm at work and got some time to kill. :rolleyes:

I'm going to have to fail him on this post

Because you're an authority :rolleyes:

I thought it was pretty detailed.

Ouch :rolleyes:

Even if it was fake, it's still pretty funny.

Oh well, same old shit starters, different day.

oh noes someone disagrees with him! Time to throw a net tantrum!

In all honesty, I'm quite intimadated by it please calm down and don't hurt anyone.

Guess what I fail you at life. Climb back into a womb sit there and think about why you have been held back wait 9 months and try again on a clean slate.

Yours,
The Authority "as proclaimed by non other then yourself."

I'd be impressed if you didn't sound like a blizzard kiddie.

Oh well, someone will always talk shit if you find something funny that they don't.

half the owners of srt-4's are ricers that use to own a civic with a fart can and now want to race everything on the road.

so that answers the question of why would a srt-4 rev at a grand am gt.

i thought the story was funny. the guy wanted to race and his tires got messed up. :lol:

funny as hell to me, i loved the post. hopefully the guy was a ricer who thinks his srt-4 runs 12.2 stock

life sucks sometimes, deal with it.

1. Saying an SRT-4 is just a neon is like saying an M3 is just a 3 series, or a C32 AMG is just a C series, or an Audi RS4 is just an A4, or a Z06 is just a Corvette, or a Cobra is just a Mustang.

2. I'd rather own a SRT-4 than a Grand Am

3. I think Ace is fucking funny

4. I get bitched at for not liking the C6 Z06, but this guy doesn't when he laughs at somone for fucking up their ride?

5. Every post this guy starts is shooting for flames, why hasn't he been banned yet?

6. I still think Ace is fucking funny. Ya rly.

7. I dunno, I just like the number 7.

So in conclusion...DigitalQuirk can drink a gallon of bleach. Oh, and if you and your UBER RAM AIR ETC GOD MOBILE GRAND AM GOLIATH FUCK YOU!!!!111shift! R of D00000000000M really had run the SRT-4...I'm pretty sure he would flat out killed you.

1. It is just a Neon. SRT-4 Neon. Have you seen one?? They look just like a what?? Neon. :icon16:

2. Not me. For performance, yes....everything else, no.

I am not saying the Grand Am GT is a great car. But it isn't nearly as bad as you guys are making it out to sound. I guess I can understand why though...the poster hasn't been exactly the greatest addition to AF.

SRT-4 > Grand Am GT ANYDAY when it comes to a race. The driver would have to SUCK something serious to lose to a GAGT.

DigitalQuirk, you sir are an idiot.
Just because you're jealous that this kid somehow posesses a faster car then yours, does not give you the right to try and damage it. What if he had lost control once hitting the bump, crashed into your car and killed you/your wife or both of you?
For someone who will start a thread condemming the hazourds of street racing, you're being hypocritical by doing that.


You are teh L053

life sucks sometimes, deal with it.

Life does suck most of the time. The only choice we have is to deal with it. How to deal with it? Treat people who make life suck (like DigitalQuirk) like the dickhead he is.

Like I said it would be pretty funny as long as it happens to someone else. But if someone knowingly led you into damaging your car because you tried to race them you probably wouldn't laugh (unless you are an idiot, which I know you aren't). Would it be funnier to you if he had caused some injuries? Don't tell me he didn't intend to cause injuries - you can't control something like that.

your a good guy but your missing the point.........if you would have read his other stuff you would know how ridiculous he is......

Digital did no such thing..

Good lord, thank you. I have said it time after time but people don't ever seem to hear. It is just like saying an Evo is just a Lancer or a WRX or STI is just an Impreza.

It is just a Neon. SRT-4 Neon. Have you seen one?? They look just like a what?? Neon. :icon16:

It may look like one, but a Neon and an SRT-4 are different cars from many aspects.

I don't see this thread producing any meaningful conversations, just flames. Also, it isn't really racing story anyhow.
