RE: Do you get races Alot?
about the only race i get is the same white sti on my way to work almost every day. every once in a while, ill give in, but after like the 5th or 6th time where i can put 10 car lengths on him, its just wasting my gas.
other than that, i dont get many, a lot of ricer flyby's though, and i mean a lot.

I do go to the track, raced, then someone accually raced me on my way home.
I dont provoke races either(most of the time), but wont turn them down usually.
i dont get one every 3 months!

Everyone and their mom wants to race the classics. But a few months ago I was at In N Out and there was like 6 Honda Preludes sitting out front talking. I went in to get a burger and when I came out some guy said a few were wanting to run me. They wanted me to lift the hood off and fire it up first. After I did that and revved it a few times none of them wanted to race anymore lol....

I've had my car a bit over 3 years.
I have never been challenged, or revved at seriously at an intersection... I just don't understand it.
The only thing close to being a race I've done is launch on a sidestreet to about 30 mph next to my gf's brother in his '95 Auto Formula

I hardly ever get a race...mustangs especially just roll by. They're not alone though, people just don't slow down and try to race...I usually don't instigate races either though.
Might have something to do with the fact that my spoiler is gone and my car looks a lot like a regular neon

I went to Milan dragway the other night and there was a bonehead with a Roush convertible there who wasn't racing. He was leaving the same time as me and he tried to provoke me into racing like 4 times on the way home. Just another ricer driving a Mustang in my opinion.

I could race alot but I turn down a good amount and alot of the times people just dont want to race( which I dont mind)
Like tody on the way to school I had a stock ws6 next to me and a srt4 neon next to him with a newer gto a couple cars ahead of usbut none of us revved just cruised.

RE: Do you get races Alot?
Usually (in the mustang) people just tell me to do a burnout(like 2 hours ago), or rev up....then i rev back and smile.....then they stop.
In the srt4, some will pat the gass going down the road, ill pat mine and let them here tha BOV....then they stop also(probably just think its not turbo). But am behind them they see the front mount....then dont bother again.
o well....
