Does Anyones FC cause disorder around town like mine?

While cruisng around I set car alarms off without even trying, sometimes cars in driveways 40 feet away.
I get bad looks from elderly people, and people with little kids..lol
Its like im driving a open piped Bike.

But isent this the essence of having a 7??

Mine causes ricers to glance over in fear at the sound of my BOV. Shortly followed by staring straight ahead and rolling up their windows.

Mine causes young people to look and exclaim, "What is that???"

Mine causes old ladies to scowl, as if to say, "Punk kids!"

Mine causes yuppies in their BMWs to try "flex their muscle" and jump in front of me at a merge - I think not!

Mine causes my girlfriend to say, "I hate riding in that thing! It's hard and loud and stinks!" (no emissions)

Mine causes Hondaboys to say "Damn, yo! That's like a 4 inch turbo inlet!" (it's a 3" Home Depot TID )

Mine causes local police officers to suddenly become more alert to my driving habits. (damnit)

Mine causes my wallet to empty. (double damnit)

I've set off alarms with my street legal NA. It just means that the idiot who owns the car didn't set the sensitivity on the alarm properly.

But it still feels good when it happens.

Mine amazes people. Especially when you blow by them; then when they catch up to you they ask"What's under the hood?" and I reply with a simple "1.3L"

lol, i was late for school yesterday, and pissed because there were no parking spots, so i ripped past all the "showcase lane" kids and set off about 5 alarms on their pretty bmws and automatic integras........ as for soccer moms in their suv's yeah they try it all the time........cops round here dont seem to like me all that much either, but thats fine with me cause my exhaust has a nice 50 state legal paper........i love gettin people fired up, cause my car looks like **** now (red w/ dents on fenders and white door) but people just dont understand..........

I've had a guy staring at my car so hard in a diffrent lane that he didn't notice traffic in front of him had slowed down for a red light and he tagged the *** end of the car in front of him... I have high school kids and young Marines yelling and waving where ever I go.. But the cops never mess with me cause they think my car is cool..

Somthing that I love is to get about 5 of us together and just cruse threw one of the tunnels at about 4,000rpm.. The resonation of a bunch of tunned 13B's sends chills down your spine and gives you an instant woody...

the sight of mine isnt that special. its half red, half white, looks like ****. but the sound of the BOV and the loud open exhaust is kinda attention getting. its fun to see people stare when 2 foot fireballs(ive been told theyre that big) shoot out. i rode through a tunnel once in my car, sounded sweet. i threw a fireball and the pop resonated so hard i thought the ceiling was about to fall. i love RX-7s

Sounds like a lot of people need to fix their exhausts to me...

What’s a matter can't figure out how to make HP without just running open exhausts and being socially pariahs?

Shakes head and mumbles "dumb kids" to himself.

heh, before you can be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid. open exhaust are loud sure, but they also make the car sound better, IMO. i dont mind my car being loud, and since im the only one who drives it, complaints on volume usualy go ignored. anyone outside the car only has to listen to it for a little while.
