Why does this car always pull up next to me and stare at me?

I swear these guys think their 106 hp is somehow tripled with their muffler. They always pull up next to me as if they are trying to show something off, I just let the stock VQ35 do the work from there usually. I don't particularly want to be in any way associated or near their car.

These used to be a problem in my area years ago. Since then police have been on the *** of every honda with a fart can. Ive heard stories of people getting pulled over and having their license taken or cut in half. Now-a-days most of these cars belong to our friendly southern immigrants, except for the few with the fast crv motor swapped turbos...those things are no joke fast.

It's funny, I have the same problem. I tend to drive more aggressively, but not near wreckless. I've had these guys in Civics try to pretty much show me up on a casual drive. I guess they remind me every night that their car still runs with a 20mph drive past my home with their infamous HP adding mufflers.

my max is bone stock on the exterior faded paint and peeling clear coat and all. i also have a 91 civic, it may get some high compression pistons, blue printing and port work with a set of nice springs but, it will still have the same green mold and rust covered red paint job SANS ricer muffler. if i ever fix it up.

i'm usually all about the go and not the show but, with the maxima i really enjoy the heated leather seats and moon roof.

The Maxima and 300 (v6) are comparable in price and slightly edged by the Maxima....Believe me the two cars are of two different mind sets....BTW those big wheels and tires are destroying both cars suspension and performance, Mr. Wannabe Gangster!

Just remember that the Maxima was back in 1981 still a 6 cylinder sedan... Even though the Chrysler 300 originated back in the 50's with a hemi (313 IIRC) they were of different approaches to touring and yes the 300's of the 50's dominated in racing... It set a mark for American built sedans that could outrun alot of Euro cars back in the day...Where as the Maxima eventually established itself as the 4DSC in it's 3rd Generation as was and always has been a smaller car than the 300 series then and and now...Both cars are awesome and If I had to get out of this 5th gen it would be in to the "now discontinued" 300 SRT8...which is a well balanced machine! I'm not a Gangster at all!
