I don't wish to make this too serious, but since we're on the topic.
A ricer flyby by my understanding is speeding past someone at a high rate of speed after they are already ahead of you and stopped accelerating.
I understand that you were slowing down the 2nd time around, but it's the same thing in my book. But what do I know, maybe I am "misunderstanding" things.
Oh and it isn't a kill if you wish to get specific about things. Fly by a slower moving car at a 100+ and it doesn't matter if you're driving a M5, it will prove difficult to catch up. A "kill" denotes somewhat of an even start, with one car clearly pulling ahead. That doesn't look to be the case here.

just to clarify....when i passed him, he had already downshifted and was had NOT stopped accelerating.
lastly, it was far off from an even start....i gave him 5 car lengths!
and which point, i easily passed him.....it's a KILL to me. who else here agrees with me?!

Well, if the other car was still accelerating, then sure, it's a kill. If you erased a 5 car length gap and still kept pulling, that seems like a slow EVO. These cars do lose steam over 100mph, but it's still hard to pull on a car after they have a lead like that.

I was actually agreeing with you in my last post. I'll try to make the BBQ if I'm free. 
And then you guys can race!

You are a first class frigging idiot. Sorry, but someone had to say it.
I think its referring to post #1 or #19. not any of pennetta's posts...
I have to guess its #1 since it didnt quote anyone.

he's got his right to his opinion. but i'd suggest he choose his words more wisely going forward, regardless of who he was directing that comment towards.

I had an Evo 6 a few years ago. Decatted, aftermarket exhaust, atmospheric dump valve, used to spit flames on the overrun fairly regularly, especially on trackdays (so I was told by people following me). Combination of hot turbo/exhaust and overfuelling when the dump valve opens. Didn't need an extra spark plug

Great car - superb handling. 17mpg (UK) on super-unleaded tho.

My buddy has a 911 turbo with a very radical exhuast. He shoots flames constantly. I have some pics I'll try to find. I've seen quite large flames come out the back of his car many times. Definitely a cool thing to see and hear.
All the best

I had a 97 Eclipse GSX with a lot of work done to it. One I had my turbo upgrade, fuel system upgarde, stand alone EFI PMS and full 3" Exhaust and down pipe minus the cat, it wasn't uncomon for my car tp shoot a flow, especially on a downshift when blipping the throttle. It is casued by the car running rich. What you are seeing is the ignition of raw fuel.
