That's it, someone must die!

[Polygon]

I think I'm going to snap! Since I've been feeling better I've been driving, just for the sheer joy of it. This includes trying to get someone to race me. It seems to be impossible. I can understand the GTC. Most people think I'm a dumb ass in a LeBaron and don't waste their time, I assume.

However, I can't get anyone to bite. Today I tried a Charger R/T, Porsche Boxter, Mustang GT, and even an SRT-4. Not a damn one of them bit, not even the skittle. The only one close was the Stang. I thought he wanted to play cat and mouse on the freeway but I found out he was just being an asshole.

Then out of nowhere I find a race, with what looked like a damn VW Fox! He was going slow in the passing lane. I thought a nice big shot of the Stealth in his rear view would persuade him to move. It didn't so I went to pass him, as I did I hear his poor strained engine begin to scream in protest. It made little difference but I gave it a hair more throttle anyhow and made it too 100 almost instantly. He tried to keep up but gave up as he discovered it was futile but I also assume his body panels were about to come apart at that speed.

Once I came to my exit he looked over and was sitting like he some kind of player in his glorified Geo Metro. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was almost as useless as the Prius I killed shortly after getting the car.

What am I doing wrong? How can I get something worth my fuel to race me? Hell, I got more races in my old Eagle vision.

Well, it wouldn't bother me but this has been going on for years!

I meant the exterior panels, but you got the idea.

People don't want to get embarrassed. Same thing happens to me. No one wants to race, but with previous cars everyone did.

haha, polygon coem to jersey, u'll have everyone wanting to race u. i cant stand driving my stealth half the time. hondas, acuras, and nissans galore. and they all suck(except one guys s2k, he kept up and passed wen my 3rd gear grinded). and if u want a real challenge, tonnes of vettes and porsches(911s, bit better than a boxster).

Embarrased? People with worthwhile cars don't even bother when someone tries to initiate something. When people try to act a fool next to me, I just shake my head and keep driving. Save it for the track and save a life.

1. How would you know if I was "acting the fool" Ludacris?

2. I wasn't.

3. An SRT-4, convertible mustang, and a Charger R/T are NOT what I would call "worthwhile" cars.

4. What are you doing here if you have something against street racing.

o mod vs. mod. could b fun. ne1 got popcorn

like how i'm doing to your post?

I'm with polygon here, "take it to the track" doesn't belong in the street racing section. Also, I don't "act a fool", I meant no one "acts a fool" towards me like they used to. I also agree with exhibit "3.".

i'm in the same boat. Now that school is back on like donkey kong and the kids are out with their cars....it seems as if no one wants to play.


Looks like it's all show and no go around this town

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that many places are getting very strict with street racing in particular. If your speeding, its one thing, if your obviously racing (and lets be honest, cops aren't idiots) then its a whole different ball game. Many spots around me where people used to meet up and race now have become meet places only. Just my .

Yes...he was the only one in this scenario.

On a public road? See quote above.

I'm going to say it....TAKE IT TO A TRACK. SCCA has many organized autocrosses that are legal and fun. Having people defend street racing just seems to prove the lack of intelligence of these drivers. Street racers shouldn't have drivers licenses since they can't be trusted to make intelligent decisions on their own.

Just by having a thread with the title "street racing" doesn't make it any less stupid.

^I can see why you guys don't like street racing. Safety concerns for the people who do it and those around them. At the same time, I am not into homosexuality..........it's just me. But instead of going into a gay forum and telling them all my thoughts on homosexuality, I just don't go in the forum. People are going to street race, if you don't like it, then don't bother coming in the threads.

Were you there, no. I said that because, I was going the speed limit, the traffic was clear, he wouldn't bite so I gave up. When we did reached traffic the decided to weave in and out of people like an asshole. I didn't follow.

Once again, don't preach to me when you don't seem to know the situation.

We were on the interstate, not a city street. Everyone else was doing 80MPH, except the VW.

Good hell, this is the STREET RACING FORUM. If you don't like it go somewhere else. I think that SL3000gt said it best. Also, you people can't tell me that you have never pulled someone on the freeway or raced someone from light to light.

I don't take it to the track because:

1. I have been sick for quite some time and unable to go to SCCA events. Now that I'm out of the hospital and able to go SCCA is closed. I still like to run from light to light anyway from time to time.

2. I don't care much for drag racing. Besides our track is a joke and so are most of the people that go there.

lol, get out of the damn street racing forum... good god
