Nope. Race on the open highway. Sometimes from a light but very rarely.

those are good points... no true skill involved in just mashin the gas... and i dont think going from a 65mph roll really tells you which car is faster, going from a light is more realistic and more like a real race... it's not like you go to ur track and see cars coasting down the strip and then taking off. launching is where the true skill comes in, as opposed to stupidity. everyone has their own opinions... you may enjoy racing on highway better, which is fine. it's just most speed limits on highways are what? 70mph? meaning if you start the race going 65 or 70, im sure you dont shut down at 85 or 90...anything past 3rd gear is just dumb. hope ya dont have to learn the hard way

Don't go that far over 100. And I make sure that there is no other cars on the highway. I see what your saying but you also have to see it from my point of view. I live like 20 miles away from NYC and there is no long roads with 2 lanes and a traffic light around here. Except some highways which I don't usually go on. I am usually cruising on the highway when a car pulls up. I don't choose the place. Just some FYI.

Okay so tonight I was out chillin on the highwaydoin about 130mph weavin in and out of mini vans full of women and children, in fact I pulled a gun and shot a few as i went by. Anyway so I see this little geo metro lookin bad as all hell, beggin for a race, so I slow to 80, and give the three honks, the old guy in the metro doesn't even look over, he changes lanes and exits the highway, what a *****!! So then I proceed to drive 150 pretending to race, just cuz. Anyway I was doin 120 and I slammed into a minivan full of pre-schoolers coming back from a church camp and they all die along with a nun and a pregnant lady. I walked away, went and bought a new car and I am gonna go race again...maybe that metro will be out prowlin the steets, badass those cars. Till then peace out homies! yo
