Default killed two more ricers in my Bronco

Two days ago, I was coming back home, when two ricers passed me and staged themselves at the red light in front of me. The cars where a Honda civic hatchback and the other was a VW Getta GTS. The Honda guy I've seen before and he thought he was all that. The Getta has a after market turbo with a blow out valve.

Well, I pulled up behind the getta, and I saw them looking at each other a throwing revs. When the light tured green, one of them sqeeled tires and they both took off. Well, the honda got his rear handed to him by the getta, but I had to let off the gas in order to not hit him, but when he had a car length on the honda, I took the honda's lane. When I did, I passed the getta like he was standing still, with the occasional phissss behind me. At the next light, I was throwing revs at the honda, but he didn't do anything but look straight forword.

I love showing up the stupid ricers with a full size STOCK bronco.

Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't...hard to make assumptions without knowing the Jetta's actual mods, if the car is tuned correctly, driver etc. Could be Mustangman DID pull on him bc the Jetta wasn't paying attention...not enough info to tell

Thanks Hell...I'd just hate to make an *** of myself by putting my name on an assumption that I wasn't even around to witness. Now if he said Bronco vs. Kia Sportage, I might feel a bit better about saying for sure who won

I wasn't going to reply ,but I see where the thread is heading,so I will reply.The 2.8L NON Turbo makes 172 Hp. The wt is @2,800. So IF it had an aftermarket turbo , it would surely have other mods.So,with all that said.The car you described would be at least a 14.0 and could be a possible 13.0 Car. You never know.I am Not Bashing you,just making an observation. ps: Kia Sportages Haul Butt(CoughcomparedtoamopedCough)

Ok, so maybe I didn't pass the getta like he was standing still, but I did the honda. Thats what I ment to say. On the Getta, I had about two to three car lenths on him, but after I took his lane, I could tell that he let off the gas.

It's not that they were racing me, it's that they were racing each other, and I got in the middle, so they wern't caught sleeping. The next day, I saw the Honda again, and when he wen't past me, he gave me a dirty look, like "U basturd". But when I saw the Getta again, he looked at me in amazment, and not because I have more stickers them him.

By the way, speaking of that, I finally got pics of my truck, soon, I will have them developed.

Apparently Kasper hasn't read the Feedback thread, or noticed that everyone's sig has slightly diminished in size

They can be if the Bronco is 4 wheel drive. Low range will equate your final drive ratio at 6xx:1. Awsomely quick stoplight to stoplight! Top speed of about 50 mph.

You are correct. 4WD vehicles can LEAVE!. My friend has a Suzuki Sam,Little teeny engine. In 4WD Low he is as fast as me in the 60'.My Best 60' is 2.193 at Only a 16.38. His ET is Much worse, but he can Leave the Line.
