300 horsepower/300ft-lb torque and people still doing 35mph in 55mph irvine!

I got 300 horses under my hood and I enjoy unleashing it every chance I get on the streets of Irvine where the speed limits are nearly 50-55mph on irvine blvd. etc.

When I do unleash it, it is just a 0-60mph pull...under safe conditions where there are no kids/people walking and on huge stretches of road.

So why is it that you idiots out there doing 35-40mph on the inside #1 fu**king lane!?!? GTFO out of my way and stop slowing down rush hour traffic!

these lanes are nearly 3-4 lanes wide in Irvine so "move bit** get out the way!"

why dont you just go around them? there's no law saying slower traffic has to stay on the right on local streets.

Dude relax and go around them Then do your little fast and furious run. Hopefully your dumb ass won't kill anybody. There is no true "under safe conditions where there are no kids/people walking and on huge stretches of road." Anyone can just pull out of a side street or parking lot. I know how you feel about slow drivers. It's simple..... just go around Mr. Chang in his S63 AMG Benz that is going 35mph in a 50mph zone in Irvine.

That disclaimer was so he didn't get flamed. Unfortunately, the nature of his post is flamebait. :P

OP, I feel your pain. Slow drivers in the left lane are one of my biggest pet peeves.

I see the same shit!
But the thing that really pissed me off is when I am doing a canyon run or something and I get stuck behind a supercar going the f**king speed limit or slower.
All I can think is why buy the damn car.

fyi there aren't kids playing in the street.

Officers in other areas will pull over drivers that are going way under the speed limit. (if youre on a hwy and in the #1 lane doing 20 in a 55mph zone) Its called disturbing the flow of traffic I believe

I too feel your pain, but its not so much the ppl with 300hp but just generally ppl talking on cells and texting or doing makeup...which drives me nuts and go into road rage mode.

I use the 133 north up to santiago canyon. Wide open, slight uphill.

Or Irvine Blvd across the top of the marine base.

you wont catch me doing that. and btw irvine cops do give tickets for stupid things, but honestly it is pretty rare to see them on the side of the road with a radar gun. just bone out and keep checking ur rear view mirrors and the road ahead of you.
