Anyone else have a 745? Those I thought would be faster...not so much.

Overhere most of the others don't wan't to race. Most just want to hear you getting on the gas.
lately an Audi was beside me and the passender looked over to me and gave me some signs to rev the engine. I downshifted to fourth and took off. beeing in a tunnel right at this moment it sounded

He had a big grin of his face and gave me a thumbs up when he drove by

I used to hunt down T/A's, Camaro's, Cuda's, Vette's, Mustang's and V-8 Vegas... In a 30 or so mph rolling start, none of them could touch me... until about 110 mph, and then I had to get out of it or take off... that Pinto was shaped too much like a wing... It got seriously squirrely... It did not like to leave the line though... not enough tire, which was part of the deception... I did borrow a friends N50 series M/T's, and proceeded to scare the crap out of myself...

I almost tagged both walls at the strip... yes over both lanes, fortunately the other dude was sitting at the line smoking his tires... about a hundred yards down the strip, I hit second, launched the car sideways, all the way across the track and slid right up to the wall, over corrected a bit, and almost ran into the wall on my own side of the track... uhmm.. I was a little slow getting off the gas in my excitement... (read FEAR) What fun that was...

Every time I read posts about street racing, this scene pops into my mind.

I have people try to race me all the time. I simply look over smile and put it in first to make them think I was gonna go for it. When the light changes I let them go and take off normal. I figure its a good way to see if any cops are up ahead.

SuperH · 12-10-2010, 10:01 AM

BMW and Volvo drivers. It's always a BMW M something or a Volvo S something.

That's when you tap on the horn and wave - pretend like you know him, whereas you're actually rubbing it in. That's what I'd do.

This is when I often will rev high in first so that the engine makes some noise, up to 25MPH, then I'll clutch for a few seconds, and skip shift to fourth gear.

It's amazing to watch them make a fool of themselves.

CamaroSkooter · 12-10-2010, 10:02 AM

If it really bothers you, get up under 'em, get 'em sideways, and put 'em in the wall...

Woops, no wait, that's a line by Jeff Foxworthy, nevermind...

This forum is increasingly full of POINT LESS threads.

Lol I love when people try to race me, I've noticed that the appearance of my car instigates STUPID driving by crappy cars. Lol the only cars that ever gets my blood boiling on the road are Mustangs. I never street race but I like to get up along side of them and throw dirty looks haha.

A point in every direction is the same as no point at all. What's your point?
