We have lots of those here. I remember a friend of mine who raced a Hyundai genesis coupe using a Honda Cr-v. He claimed that since the Cr-v is powered by a gasoline engine, it should have a lot of power. Yeah right.
Ummm... Genesis Coupes come with a 2.0L Turbo V6 or a 3.8L V6 NA gasoline/petrol engine.
And Genesis Coupes and Sedans will own a CR-V instantly, and why would you race a crossover against a sport coupe?
If it was a Durango, Explorer, Escalade, Navigator or a Range Rover yes, since they have power and torque to keep up with a Genesis stock or modified and/or beat one, but a crappy crossover???
(BTW crossovers are lame anyway)

Yes, there are female ricers in Canada. They're what I'd rather have, and not the cars they drive.
Woah, well, that's something else then. I guess they are attractive or hot, but not the car.
But then you can teach them about cars and how they operate and show them the ropes and convert them into real car people.
👍
We must convert!

So this isn't quite like the other stories here but that's because I'm 15. My friend and I were on Forza 4 at his house and he challenged me to a race on there. I could pick any track and any car he said, he would beat me with his "Hyped-Up" Veyron. He had riced the exterior, and had got all the updates possible for the engine. Not the tyres or suspension, etc. though.
I decided to pick the Ferrari 333 SP and the Sebring Circuit. He was even if not slightly ahead of me before the braking zone and then proceeded to tuck in behind and attempt to take my line at the same speed. Swearing and allegations of cheating followed. I hate how people seem to think top speed is everything. People at school don't believe that a Formula One car is quicker than a Veyron around a track. I don't get it. Most watch Top Gear, have they not noticed the Veyron is outclassed by Caterham, Ariel and many other offerings for less than half the price with sometimes well under half the power?
It shouldn't bug me but, god it does.
He should be playing NFS instead of Forza with that kind of thinking
. It suits him more.
But hearing this is like listening to the horror or funny stories about GT5 and Forza online when idiots use Veyrons or X1 just to win and lack of skills, but it's not about top speed or anything for those cars and get all butthurt about losing to a Impreza or a 911. Don't they know that it was the Ring or Sebring or any technical course? Heck, I've seen people drive and raced a Veyron on tracks and they handled it.
Just remember to SLOW DOWN earlier before the turn! And treat it like a heavy car not a 911, you won't go wrong.
And people think the Veyron is untouchable on anything that's a road, but there's faster cars out there like Skylines, Vipers, Supras, R8s and many more that can reach 1000+hp and own Veyron and are cheaper, with mods!
Top Gear proved it wasn't a good car on a tight course, a Caterham, Atom, RX-7, Elise, Exige and many lightweight monsters will own it on the TGTT or similar tracks even a Agera R or CCXR, in which they can! Why? Because the Koiengsieggs are lightweight.
I'm not bashing the Veyron, I'm impressed what the engineers have done and the science and tech put into the car, but people need to stop hyping it up thinking it can beat anything. Same thong with the X1.
Impressive cars but unfortunately hyped by morons who think it owns.
