When people race me it's usually out of jealousy or spite, so it's better I not talk to them.

If someone rolls down their window, I'm willing to talk about mods and whatever.

the last time a guy rolled down his window after I spanked him, his words were:

"Pull over I'm going to kick your ass"

Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.

Thats a good idea, talking to the person you raced. Imma try that next time, win or lose.

Ok, just today I got in a race, and try to to flag this as bullshit, I swaer I would not lie anout this.

I was on my way to meet some friends at a sushi buffet (awesomeee food), when a bmw 2series pulls hard maybe about 1/2 a car length behind me. He keeps looking at me and then to the road. So I already had a decent amount of speed because I was playing around with my car and decided to gun it from the last signal. Anyway, when I saw the dude try to pull ahead I floored it myself. And get this: I actually beat the guy... I dont understand.

I let off at about ~65ish and let the guy zoom past me after that, so I guess I would count that as a win? Regardless I thought it was weird that I was pulling harder than the BMW.

I cam home to check the specs. According to Vehix, the 2 series has 230hp at 6500rpm. Thats way more than enough to beat me. And they are 6 speed, and appearently dont come in automatic (I doubt that though)

The beamer I raced was a blue 4 door 3 series. I looked early 2000s, maybe 2001-2003.

Can anyone explain that to me? (Haha, Id like to think I won, dont burst my bubble if you dont have to, hahaha)

So I'm wandering the highways at midnight cause I was bored and I felt like driving and this old man in a 1989 Plymouth Acclaim is flooring it to try and keep pace with me.

I don't understand it. I heard him floor his car and it sounds like a Hoover vacuum cleaner...

So a few minutes later a red 1996 Mazda MX-6 LS (v6)comes out of the blue and we both stop at the light. I'm looking dead at him and I know he knows I'm looking. His hands are tight gripped on the steering wheel..

the light turns green and I launch soft to judge if he's going to floor it and he does. I catch up side by side and his rpms are climbing. I'm in 3rd and I give it some gas and he's just watching me walk him. His gf was giving me this look like, "you boys are so immature"

I was like, "yeah, I'm faster"

I raced a Mitsubishi Galant last night, i think it was an 01 or an 02, the 4 cylinder, and the guy had this huge sprint wing on the back and some cheapy vinyls down the side and he thought he was the shit. He reved at the light but we both did a soft launch and once we got rollin he started to give it some gas so i did the same just to keep even with him. he was tryin to pull on me so around that time i put it to the floor and started pulling on him and had around 1.5 lengths on him when we reached the next light. When we both stopped he rolled his window down and flicked me off and then went around the corner, it was pretty funny actually. Only mod i could tell was exhaust

and yes Heather this was during my joyride since i got my car taken away and only had last night to drive it lol

had some fun today.....

first race was with a g35 sedan...he was weaving...then saw me and put his hazards on so i started to keep up wit him...stayed with him until he made a wrong move..so i moved in front and from there i just left him.....after making a few moves....didnt see him nemore till i was slowing down to exit....good run wit him

second race..
was driving along not doing nothing...changed over 2 lanes to get to the left lane cause the 2 right lanes were slowing up...watching in my rearview mirror i see a bmw shift really hard over to the left lane to get behind me...now hes tailgating me...sooooo i stay at 55 cause theres traffic....as soon as it opens i take offf and just watch him in my rear view trying to catch up to me....i let off at about 110 and slowed back down to 70 just waiting for him....of course he came back for more..so i let him get in front and i stayed wit him until he exited

third run
after running witht he bmw i noticed a XB behind me pacing with me...he had tinted out light, lowered, rims, and sounded like a lil growl coming from the engine...we ran for a whileeeeeee...he stayed wit me the entire time...except for straight aways when i started to pull away...definitly a fun run...wanted to stop and talk after but he got off the exit before mine

The Sentra SE-R (not spec V) is 177 hp and if it was the automatic CVT, then it would have been even slower. It's nothing special.

it was a 5 speed or 6 not sure but i could hear him shift alot, the only thing that got me the win was that my gear were longer cause when he shifted to 4th i was still at my strong point on 3rd
