ok this is pissing me off it seems that down here in south fl the only plp driving sports cars are women or old people. For the last moth i have been trying to get something going with anyone on the streets but with no luck today i see a rx8 on the highway, and while it is no match iam getting desperate so i start messing around with it then once again a chick is driving it and she wants no part of my car, then luck smiles upon me and i line up with this black c5 at a light and we had empty road up ahead for a couple of miles. i rev then rev again look over and it's an old man on his cell phone, and wha ta sruprice he din't want any either. damn this is pissing me off and then there was the ***** g3, and the 911, an the many gt's and a few ws6, damnit.

Drive down to Miami, you're not that far away. I've seen several people from there on this board that have some vicious rides.

Same problems in Orlando area.. Rarely can I line up next to anyone who wants to race.. The ones who do are silly kids in hondas with fart cans.. Pointless...

I'm in the same boat as you, zamboxl...I never come across anything cool to run against...when I do pull up along side a SRT-4 or Mustang, it's a girl driving it and they're too busy on their cell phones.

I did line up against a young kid in a stock Bonneville a couple of weeks ago...I was just going along accelerating normally until I heard his engine winding out and thought he was going to throw a rod or something and punched it to get away from him.

Seems like I never have a chance to line up against anyone either.... If it does happen then there is only like 300 feet to the next red light... Plus police have a way of finding themselves on every somewhat straight-away here in town...

That's exactly it. And the ones who hunt are serious business. There was a black Z06 at the gas station the other day that was so loud & lopey that I thought it was going to jump off of the pavement.
