Uh, where did you hear that they are driving a CL type S? Cause unless that thing is on a lift kit, I don't see that being correct. They are visibly higher up than the Mustang And the seating position of the driver is wrong. And the steering wheel looks like a GM truck wheel.

Just looked at it again - you're right - does look like a GM steering wheel. And they are up quite a bit higher

I raced a guy like that once.... actually, where was this filmed? The car looks EXTREMELY similar.
He pulls up next to me at a light and says "Hey, is that a 4 cylinder?"
I say something like, "I guess you'll have to find out, huh?"
We both take off, and I destroy the guy. His car was stock w/ exhaust I think.
I sit there driving 18 MPH until he catches up so I can say "Who's driving a 4 cylinder car?"
And he says, "I've got nitrous in this thing but I jsut wasn't using it"

He should have his car revoked and be forced to drive a VW beetle. And not one of the new ones, either.

There may be no honor lsot from losing the race, but there certainly is when you have to make excuses for it, and threaten people if they show the evidence to other people.

but how does you spanking a different car make up for this guy being a dumbass talking smack after losing a race? i mean, sure, it's fun if you go out and race people in general (with safe conditions out there, but of course, u kno that already), but it doesn't change that he was a dipsh!t about his loss... i mean, i don't stereotype drivers based on their cars really...so i guess for me, there's nothing for anyone to prove...

Thanks. I was curious to see if this guy was pretending that it was him who had beat the Mustang in his Acura. He doesn't claim that, but he doesn't correct people who think it is him, though...
