Killed by an EVO! I lost my first street race today. I was cruisin down the highway at about 75, roll up next to this nice red Evo, looked lowered, had an exhaust, and 3 gauge pod on the pillar... and some aftermarket wheels. It looked pretty sweet honestly, so I gave the guy a thumbs up and he did the same.
I then proceeded to downshift with me in front by about 5 feet.. I heard him hit it so I took off in 3rd gear. He rolled by at pretty good rate, I shifted into 4th with him past my front bumper, hit about 110 and had to stop for traffic. I dont think I would have started catching up... it was a pretty quick car.
So I rolled up next to him and gave the thumbs up again. Sux losing but I have to give respect when its due.
my mods are a SLP Lid and a Loudmouth. Time for some more mods!

yea i must agree.. sounds like he got the jump.. thats the shitty thing about street racing.. for a high roll like that a 1/4 second jump is hard to run down... for example... if my dad is driving my hemi truck and i let him jump out a few cars on my camaro it takes a few seconds for me to wind up and get past him ya know... just an example.

you're pretty ignorant. I have the car floored, the evo is obviously floored, and he's pulling away. How would you like me to drive my car better? He beat me before I even had to shift.edit - took out the name calling comment.

Yeah, never underestimate anything with a hair dryer. My buddy's buddy (Yeah, but I've seen the car), has an old Dodge Omni turbo that would run 12's. He used to beat on this guy with a 96 or 97 Cobra Mustang. It used to eat that guys *** at just the metion of the Omini. "Hey man those Omni's are fast huh?"
