Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but in my 3 yrs of Skyline ownership, I've noticed something I like to call "The Skyline Syndrome" wherein any knobend in pretty much any car, who hears a rumbly exhaust or thinks that all Skylines are Rocket ships, feels the need to have a go at the lights and try to prove their Hyundai Excel, Ford Territory or Porsche Cayenne is better.
I very rarely line up with the intention of Smashin'em with my Full Hektikness as I am not a Fast'n'Furious wannabe and am not interested in drawing unwanted attention or being labled as another Import driving Hoon.
It amuses me when they take off like a bat outta hell and then realise that you aren't as much of a d!ckhead as they are.
Plus you get to see how quick a Territory or Cayenne can be without wasting your own $174.9/L Fuel.
These are just a couple of cars I wouldn't have a crack at because having seen them do this,
they actually seem to be quite quick.
I have a measly 192.4rwkw and if on a track I would like to have a play but not on the street.
The other side of it is these cars would've cost alot more than mine too, but that message is pretty hard to get across with only a mashing of the loud pedal.
But if they've gone for it for 2 sets of lights and sufficiently been lulled into a false sense of security, I might just grant them the honour of hearing what a 17yr old RB25det bolted to a 3" exhaust sounds like as it at least gives them a run for their money or better yet, leaves them behind with the sweet smell of rich ratios.
TL;DR
In Canberra it happens alot.
