Default 2001 Z28 M6 vs 2011 Evo

Just driving to work and this guy makes a left onto the street im on. When my light turns green i pull next to him but dont do anything at all. He gets behind me immediatly and just kisses my *** for a few blocks. So i eventually downshift to 2nd and go WOT. Had zero traction in 2nd gear and was a complete waist of time and lost a good amount of traction going from 2nd to 3rd gear as well, i was only in 3rd for a couple of seconds. In the end i was able to get 1 1/2 cars. I wasnt trying to go any faster and didnt have the room for it either.

He pulls up next to me in the end with a smile on his face like were going to have a friendly conversation but i just told him your not fast enough and he did a ricer flyby which i was suprised it took him as long as it did to do it. I was going to be cool with the guy but dont like it when people kiss my a** for a few blocks. If i had traction it would've been a much better race but just goes to show i need LCA's and better tires.

IMO that's not a win or really a race. I personally will let the gap grow when I'm following someone who is WOT ahead of me for safety reasons.

i'm guessing the evo driver wasn't concerned with safety if they were riding his *** for a few blocks

he wasnt concerned at all because he went into the center devider and passed the car in front of him just to do his ricer fly by which i thought was to the extreme and just stupid but i guess he was ok with doing that.

You really showed him. He wanted to tell you on 3 we go but he saw
you race like ricer and though to himself never mine. Don't post up kills
untill you learn how to race.

Racing basics 101
line them up (that means get side by side not in a single line)
Make or look for sings to go on 3. (horn is most common, be ready for the guy that don't know the racing basics 101 and just takes off
make a reasonable judgement about how many car or bus lengths you won or lost by.
Finally post up results.

There are many racing vids on YouTube so you can see how its done.
Hope your next post is better
