Had a lil' run in w/ a Camry SE earlier today calling me out to race while on my way home from work (Yep, I have to work on Sunday sometimes).

Dude kept on reving at me, and at first...I tried to ignore it...but damn it...temptation. So when we pulled up @ a stoplight, I can just feel him looking in my direction, so I roll the window down and asked...V6....auto? and he said yep...so I said...let's go!

Long story short, light turned green...and I'm happy to inform...that he got served. Altima 1 Camry 0. A "win"s a win, but wasn't really a fun "race", cause I just launched on the fly...was like a full car length b4 I even hit 3rd gear...no contest. Met up w/ him on the next stop light (more like waited)...and he was like...wow ur car's fast...I say nothing, gave him the hawaiian "shaka" sign and made my right turn.

I guess it was just the driver, cause the specs on the Camry SE is very similar to the Altima...and I was expecting a little more "challenge".

NOW...I, IN NO WAY CONDONE STREET RACING...but come on...you know I had to...lol.

Like they say, it doesn't matter if you win by a foot or a mile; a win is a win. Is it just me, or do you guys think the Camry looks silly with the body kit? It seems like it's trying to look sporty, but we all know it's what our grandfather's like to drive

For those of you who don't know, this is what we call the "shaka". It is slowly taking over the world!

Too Funny. I have a lot of local ricers come up to me all the time wanting to race. They start revving their inline 4's and their obnoxious kazoo of a muffler rattling. I just look at them and say wanna race for pinks?..and they don't know what to say. Then I say, might as well call the taxi now cause when I win you'll be walkin'.

Hopefully I won't get called out by some kid running boost!

Raced a modded 04 GT mustand with exhaust, Rims/Tires last night. Started from a red light. we were even at the launch, however my car had horrible torque steer and was pulling to the right. I still manage to school him by prbly over 4-5 car lengths.

funny thing is i raced a new camry yesterday. i was approaching a red light and was slowing down, light turned green and i stepped on the gas a little (we all know how sensitive the gas pedal is) so the car jumped and he camry next to me thought i wanted to race so we raced. i was shocked, they're pretty quick, it kept up REALLY GOOD and i barely won.... online it says the V6 does 14.5 in the 1/4 mile so i guess he was a bad driver lol sorta disappointed that a stock camry is supposed to be faster then my car

Understandable but a Camry?

I can't take those risk anymore since they passed the 50+ Over Law last Fall up here.

hahaha good visual reference for the shaka generic! the O.G. 1 in da pink 1 in da stink...lol.

and how ironic, was on nimitz hwy today heading home...and I saw the camry again! must be a military guy either living/working by pearl harbor or hickam. this time though, he totally avoided me...stayed 4 cars behind me; I guess he know's his place since that's where he was yesterday...hahaha...j/k...ok...that's enough of me being a d**khead.
