Default 5th gens dont race

Okay today was my third encounter with a new ss and a young guy in it and they just wont race. Anybody else have this problem? Not trashing the cars at all i really like them and want to see how i would do against them but the ones around here just wont run them. Needed somewhere to vent. Im off my soap box.

Not everyone with a nice car is looking for races. I'm the same way. I paid too much for my car to risk someone pulling out in front of me street racing.

Agreed, my car isn't anything special but I love it. Some kid in an lt1 z28 kept revving at me this morning and giving me dirty looks because I wouldn't race him from any light where the speed limit is 30mph.

I feel you man. People think im crazy for driving around with my uncle looking for races. They way i see it, why buy a fast car if you dont want to race?

oh for sure i wouldnt dare do that. This was 4 lane highway in the middle of nowhere without any traffic. Im not trying to kill anybody or be rediculously unsafe. just a little unsafe.
