After you run with em a couple times, and then they put on the emergency flashers, and either speed off, or slow down and get off the highway??:???:

I've also seen it done a lot in race videos that ive seen on the internet....I've wondered what that meant for soo long....

it means you've been stomped into the ground and they are laughing at you... or they barely pulled it out and want to let everyone else know you have sucked at life...

hmm....thats weird though, because on some of the Youtube vids i've seen of street racin in Japan, some of the people keep their emergencies on the whole time they're racing....:thinking:

The only time I get the flashers is when they are behind me and that signals me that they want to race either at the nearest stoplight or get on the freeway

hahhh YEAH they're slow!! Mine is just stripped out inside and has bolt-ons so i can go a TAD bit quicker than the standard cav.....I pulled even with him from 70 up to somewhere around 90, when my car shifted into 3rd.....My 3rd gear SUCKKKKKKKSSS BALLLLZZZ....so thats when i got LEFT.....

Besides, i mean....My car has a governor on it that wont let me go quicker than 110 anyways, so...until i get that taken care of, thats alll the speed ill be able to make....They ARE a slow car, but can become quick with the right kind of tlc and $$$.....

back in the day (WAY BACK) if the right lane WON, the winner would put on his RIGHT turn signal to let everyone watching know that the right lane won.

flashers just means that person has WON. I get it A LOT, but not in a REAL race. just when i get a ricer fly by. I'm just like WTF!?

disconnect your speed sensor from your tranny...you wont be able to tell your speed but im willing to bet you are not going to be hitting 160 just because your speedo says 160

I think the Sunfire's speedometer only goes up to 110.

1, yea sunfire speedo only goes to 110...and 2, disconnecting the speed sensor from the trans WILL cause problems for me if/when i decide to re-sell the car.....it'll end up bein a fraudulent sale, because of the odometer being inaccurate.....plus, disconnecting it will turn my WHOLE dash off......no gauges. And, could make my car throw a CEL that could be detrimental to the engine and everythin else in there...Thats what i've read on j-body.org. It could cause a lott of problems if i were to do that. So, instead, i'll just use the tuner program to remove the speed gov.

if your whole dash doesnt work after disconnecting the SS then the CEL isnt gonna come on.......huh? huh? get my drift? *raises eyebrow*..........

Haha, what...it's worse when you've got an overly optimistic speedometer. My dad's Volkswagen has a furious 100 bhp, but the speedometer goes to 160. The car will reach 110 on a good day, downhill, with the wind blowing at it's back.

I'm not busting on Cavaliers/Sunfires...hahaha, I don't see how a 110 mph speedometeris such a big deal. ****, damn near all of the S13 owners on here have 110 mph speedos.
