lol yeah i learnt this on wed night after NASS & before the Pub , Me & my lil Hornet vs a Big 900 Hornet , I managed to just get my front wheel across the intersection just before he blew past me.

& yeah i knew that it was never going to happen it was more of a piss take

You obviously haven't tried something more like the 6 figure AMG cars... they are a decent challenge...

not many ppl in nz that buy 6 figure cars drive them in the boy racer fasion, so what are the chances of coming across 1 of the few ppl that own such car AND dive it in such fasion?
one can only dream of the opportunity

I've come across one... I was actually rolling nicely off the lights until a black AMG CL63/5 I think came roaring past.

Held level around a curve struggling like hell for traction, I backed off onto the straight as he came slightly into my lane, then I managed to pull level again, and slightly ahead. That was on a 04 ZX10R.

The combination of a lot of money, a light car, big engine, traction control and someone that actually knows how to drive it... it is indeed a challenge.

Back to normality, a mate and I used to go boy racer hunting on Fri/Sat nights. We used to sit behind (they never did stationary drags, as they couldn't launch) waiting for them to get up some speed, then pass both nice and easy

It's honestly a tie between some guys having fun in their expensive European cars, alongside a dicktonne of Subies thinking they have AWD launch immunity.

I have trouble with cyclists. Trouble is they usually leave me well behind.

You'll get that on a Hyosung, something to do with the build quality?

Nup, never.

But I ride a HARLEY.

And even in my hot-rod they all just want to look.

Except the odd idiot in a Commodore SS ute that has to prove himself...

(Prove himself?, - what as, a wanker??)

boy racers would just be boys if they didn't race.

just like search noobs would just be noobs if they didn't search.

Had a chap do that to me in Wellington... he has an SS ute. I was in an Aston Martin DB9. I didn't need to prove a thing
