Default Highway Racing????

Can anyone help me out with the proper way to get people to race on the highway. For example what speed do you slow down to or how do you know when to go????

I like to swerve into them and point my gun at the drivers head. Then when they try to run me off the road...it's on!

Or, I'll pace right next to them until the y look over and motion for a go. I'll slow down to just under seventy so the automatic will kick down to second, or so I wind up at the beginning of thirds powerband.

To properly race on the highway, you have to sell your American car and buy an import. then you have to buy lots of stickers, pull up next to people, fall back and hammer it so you go flying by the American car at full throttle and then put the flashers on 1/2 mile up as the American car changes radio stations. Go from a light or don't race...its the only way to actually see who won (assuming its a close race)...

The last time some body pointed a gun while I was in a vehicle,was in Baghdad. I radioed my driver to pace him. While I swung the cuppola around and emptied a two hundred round box of 50 cal AP into his car and his posse . Then proceeded to back our 56 ton vehicle through the burning wreck. It seems that he didn't have game after all.

If I'm taunting I'll either get their attention with a rev and point forward (usually doesn't work) or I'll keep the nose of my car up ahead of their car and pace them maybe matting the pedal once or twice to clarify my intent. It'll only take 20 seconds or so to figure out if they're going to go for it. If they haven't dropped a gear by then, they're not going to race. Though, I have had several flybys after pulling forward and setting the cruise control. Oddly enough two of them were C5 vettes. It's ok though, pulling them in from a roll is even more fun .

When you see them ahead just pass them gradually and then usually they will attempt to match your speed and pull along side you. Then when they are along aside you just give them a second and let them sit there then watch for their front end to rise up then you simply walk the dog on their ***. Thats what i allways do, but i also have a problem when i cook my rice? I allways burn the sob! Damn i need to learn how to cook.

heh, too bad we can't use that method of pwnage on the stupid ricers with the 20-ft tall wings, 5000 stickers of stuff that's not even on the car, body kits that weigh twice what the car itself does wet, and a douche-bag behind the wheel.....

the world would be a much, much better place to live in!

well lucky my I have turbo, so all we have to do is let them hear it. you can also give it gas and let off so they know your ready... i usually give a tree honk or wait for them to get on it. and like the other guy said, another fun way is to signal them to go first and then wave as you walk past..lol.

60 roll is pretty average..

Whatever you do dont be like some idiots out there and tailgate.. make sure you race safe. not in traffic.

This is what you do, you get yourself a nice electric cut out, go up next to him and start revving with the cut out open. Then you tell him this: "I got a turbo bitch, greddy... stage 3, psssssssss".

Wait lemme find that video
