I had a younger dude in a black newer Lexus IS 250 start riding my ass on a 2 lane road.  We both turned right (him behind me) onto 4 lane highway.  As I'm making my turn I see his car squat as he tries to shoot around me on the left side.  I put the hammer down and immediately pull out a couple of bus lengths by 70 mph.  Later down the road he does a fly by through traffic (ricer move) and would not even look at me...  LOL  Some people just don't know about SHO.  LOL

Nice job!  We need stickers that look like chop sticks to put on our fenders.

I had a similar situation with an IS250 I was hoping it was at least an IS350 to toy with.

You guys think its fun to shock guys with the SHO, borrow an MKS!    Dudes in Priuses will think they can jump you at lights.

IDK...

i think, they think, our cars have something to offer as far as a challenge is concerned; they're just shocked when they see our tail lights.  LOL

I just had a Prius rental for 4 days while my Expedition was in the shop. It was fun to mess with every car on the road to try to get them to take off / or get punked by the Prius. I guess you have to try it to understand. I assumed everyone I came into contact with would tear me up becasue no one would let me pass them on the highway lol It was kinda fun to annoy every powerful car on the road, honestly no one would take it seriously though so you can zip on by everyone as they shake their heads. BTW- those cars suck !!!!!!!!!!! the hybrid OK I understand for someone, not me, but they're so ugly and basic.

Yeah, they are not trying to punk me either, they are dead serious.  I am in pole position left lane at a light.  They pull up in the right lane and try to zip in front of me to cut me (not just me - everybody)  off and take the highway on ramp on the LEFT side.     Of course I could just blow them away and then they would pull in behind me....but.......here is where I am bad.....once they realize they can't beat me, they slow way down to try to get behind me to take the left ramp...so I slow way down....so they speed way up...you get the drill. And on good days, they miss their exit - mission accomplished.  Just wait in line like everybody else and be polite and that will be the fastest route for you. I digress - sorry.

TSS.... I feel you!  Even on surface streets in metro Phx everyone travels in the lane opposite the way they need to turn and want to cross 3 lanes of 50-60 mph surface traffic in 200 feet or so to make the turn... my collision avoidance goes crazy... and I wish for a paint gun, LOL

A couple years back when I had my SRT4 Caliber I got beside a 2012ish Audi TT-s with brand new temp tags.  They are 270 hp awd stock.  It was not really fair because we where rolling about 40 mph with him about a car length in front of me.  He took the bait and I saw a poof of black smoke out of the tail pipes.  I rolled by him spinning the tires up to about 75 mph and was gone.  He was actually cool and gave me thumbs up.  That had to hurt a little I'm sure...  LOL

IS 250 0-60 is like 8.3 seconds, and I bet he thinks it's fast.

Nice kill.
