Why dont i get good races?!
It always seems like i never get any decent races, i cant remember the last time i had a good one in my car, besides my friends SS. The last race i can remember was driving his SS against a modded sn95 cobra, walked it pretty good then, the 2nd time i just spun (not used to the T56). Anyway the point to my thread and why i'm upset, it seems the only races i get are against ricers, i destroyed a SRT-4 a couple of months ago, but yesterday i'm driving to my friends house to pick up my jackstands and i see this weird looking car way down the road, i end up catching up to it and its a CRX w/a widebody kit, but wheels w/an offset for the stock body so they are tucked in way too much. Anyway i kinda slowly pass him not thinking much and i look over at him and he starts laughin, which kinda got me going, so we catch a light but he is a car back, so i go as normal and leave him some room to pass the car and get in the other lane again, he comes up on me real slow, and i can barely hear him over the LT's and cutout as he guns it, so i hit it and i was definatly not in the dead spot, my car took off like a raped ape and just totally wastes this guy by a good 8 cars. I need to turn right at the next light so im stuck behind 2 cars doing the same thing, funny thing is his lane was wide open, but he stopped a car behind me leaving about 4 cars between him and the light but nobody between the 2 because he doesnt wanna pass me.

I have a theory: The less strict the cops are with tickets, the less people drive fast and race, and visa versa. This seems to hold true because when I'm home in Chicago everyone is trying to race me, but cops are dicks and it's really risky. Down here in the bible belt the cops let you off more often than not but no one want's to go, even cars that will kill me.
I've tried to get GTO's, S/C Cobras, C6 Vette's, other WS6's, and generally anything on four wheels sometimes to run but about the only things that seem to even wanna play are hillbillies in their trucks. No offense intended to truck owners, I know there are fast ones but I'm talking about stock F150's.
Seriously though, the harsher cops are the more people that try to race, it's ridiculous.

i feel like that to most of the time, but thats do to the lack of muscle around my town. but i did finally get an SL 55 under my belt last night, now if i could just find an 03 cobra. that wil probably end up being the last car i find for awhile though

There seems to be a good bit of muscle around here, im just always either going the other direction or they just dont wanna go, even if i lose, i dont care its fun. Heck one guy in a Viper refused to go and we caught 3 red lights, both of us at the line everytime and nothing! He would have roasted me, but i wanna know how bad!
How'd the race w/the SL 55 go? I mean, close at all?

pulled him really good both times, once from a second gear roll and the other from about 50-120. That was with my cut-outs closed (going through old flowmaster) where i make about 390 rwhp. got him by about 3 lengths maybe more. i've driven a few SL55 and have been wanting to race one for awhile, fun race and it provided me with some closure (got spanked by an E 55 when i just had long tubes).the only good race i've had in a few months,

^ I work at a mercedes/ porsche dealership so i get to drive them regularly. very cool cars with insane torque at any RPM. and E 55's have to be the coolest 4 door around, however if i had the money i wouldn't hold on to one past waranty... very problematic. Super solid motors but everything wiring harnesses and anything electrical loves to give out

Same here man. Everytime I drive around in my Formula I NEVER see cars worth racing, or want to race. But when I take my moms Stratus out, oh of course I see Mustangs and Camaros and **** everywhere.

Yeah, they come outta the woodwork when ya drive the beater. I get lotsa races up here and at the local hangout. It took a while but word spread that somebody had a decently quick car and folks started showing up to play. Now I gotta start all over again with the Brute.
