1 out of 4 no wants to race me, i have not been able to get a race for 4 to 5 months.
every time i try to race they dont want none. I saw a accord old one like 89-90 model, all rice out had his boing 747 rear wing on, big 5 inch muffler. ground effects on it, pull up next to him reved it up he look at me swichted to the next lane and slowed down, dont know why he didnt turn off or any thing kept going strait guess he didnt want any. Another day I saw a srt-4 reved it up he ignored me, he was on his cell phone so i left him alone. Like a week ago i saw a mustang GT I pulled up next to him and reved it up he look at me and shook his head no thank you with a big smile and chunked the duce at me so i just floored and left him behind. But today i saw some ricer looked like a acura or honda gsr i am not sure of what it was but i didnt think he would race me. It was ugly needed a paint jod, but had his big *** spoiler on it, had some white rims, muffler and euros lights front and back. So pulled up next to him reved it and he shook his shoulders like whatever i going to lose any but lets do for fun. So Beep, Beep, Beep i drop it to 2nd it a A4 we were going about 50, i just pulled on him hard left him like 5 cars at the start. I got to 100 mph when i let off, he was buses behind me by that time. I was happy to get a race in, it's been a while.

It's hard to find races against decent cars just driving around on the street. I've only raced against a couple other good cars just cruising around since I got my car almost 2 years ago, and I live in Southern California. If you want people to race you, gotta find a local hangout where all the racers go; I guarantee you're going to get more offers than you can handle if you find a good spot.
Second option would be to make your car look like a v6, before I had an aftermarket muffler/exhaust mine looked like a v6, and seemed like anything I lined up against wanted a piece.

yeah my cars black with the black z28 badges all the way around the car. so at frist glance at a light (mostly at night) i get reved at by alot of rice. However when i put my foot down and they hear an earfull of 5.7lts of american muscle they seem to look the other way and stop trying to **** with me. or there smile truns in to a frown. I do enjoy it though when after I rev the girl in the front seat of some of these cars will wave and smile.

99% of my street races were pick-up races on commutes. I ran in to lots of Z06's and Porsches which fell victim. There were dry spells for months, but were days when I'd get 3-4 races on any given route. It's all chance. You also need a certain level of awareness as to what's going on around to know when it's proper to engage.

It's funny you say that. SSMokinSS and I have 'bs'd about trying to race on SVTP.com. But with four kids, it is kind of hard to drive 2 hours just for a race.
