Default Why do they only prey on the weak or sick?

This dirves me frickin' crazy. I drive my SS to work every day, no ricer ever shows up wantin to play, I mean I rev it up, nothin. I run up on their bumper, nothin. I mean I don't know what I gotta do to get a ricer to play with me, well until now. Seems like all I have to do is put the SS in the body shop and drive the wife's 1996 Mustang GT and all of sudden I'm in a Japanese Steak house and the fricken rice poppin off the hibachi table.

So there I am this morning, a 3.5 liter Maxima shows up wantin' some action. And I'm thinkin, with only 215 ponys, this might just get ugly. Sure enough, light goes green, and we hit it, I hang with him no problem in 1st, but after the shift to second, I couldn't hang and the Maxima started walkin, but the top of 2nd around 60 he had me by a full car length and I shut her down. Tried again at the next light to the same result.

Damn Mustang, sounds like a lot of muscle, but in the end its just a bunch of rice bait.

Any chance that fool will show up when the SS comes home Friday?

i feel ya.. sometimes i just drive around looking for races.. even knowing that i could get a massive ticket, and have to pay A LOT on insurance, or maybe not even drive.. its just damn fun.

the only person whose ever fucked with me was a turbo eclipse one friday night.. but i kicked his *** by a good 4 car lengths.. i could probably buy a new f-body for the price of his turbo

races happen when u least expect it. don't go out looking for them, because you'll just get disappointed in the end.

just last weekend i was driving home on the highway from my cousin's place, and out of nowhere comes a civic bouncing his rev limiter at me. after i beat him, an integra saw us flying by so he caught up. i kicked his *** too. and before that night, it's been MONTHS since i've raced anybody. so u just have to relax and let them come to you. in most cases, if you challenge them, they'll decline because they don't want to get beat. there's plenty of them out there.... u just have to wait for them.

stay safe and don't do anything stupid like riding their ***.

No idea. I'll hit a light occasionally where the other 2 lanes are open, and an import wont change lanes and stays behind me. bwahaha. All show, no go.

You have to remember, people on these boards don't take kindly to those who instigate races by acting like those who they don't respect (namely ricers.) If you want a race do it like a man and pull up next to them and give a thumbs up or a look over, even ask him verbally in a parking lot, don't act like kid who just got his fartcan, it's what seperates the gentlemen from the boys.

I wouldn't feel like racing a C6 Z06 that hounded my *** for block or two. I simply wouldn't respect him enough.

If you really want to race imports then I got the perfect solution. Go to a track

NYIRP has more 13-17 second imports then I can shake a stick at. And once they find themselves next to me they have no choice but to race
