as im merging onto the highway, a 2003ish dodgie stratus is tailing me. speed limit 50 on the highway. i get up to 55 and the stratus is slowly passing me on the adjacent lane. i slowly add speed so he cant pass

then, i see him start to pull on me a little i drop it into third and waste him then drop back to see if he wants to go. it appears he does but i let him get a good view of my taillights so easily im wondering if he was racing. i think he was but had a turtle auto and it had no balls in what was probably 3rd gear for him at 55/60 mph

15.7 1/4 mile in a manual stratus. yes, he was probably trying hard and most likely leaning forward in his seat

nice.i did something similar to an older ford thunderbird last night on the highway.it kept up a little better just b/c it was a v8 but i still beat him with half the cylinder

.it was actually on my way home from my tune so i got to test my new power.

I only race cars like that in the tsx because its slow as molasses. My only street encounters usually involve me tricking someone into going faster than they should through turns, and seeing them slam on there brakes, or possibly worse. Thats a win for me. I havent done any straight line racing in ages.

give me a break i live in a tiny town of about 18,ooo ppl. im lucky to get a race. its not like i can go around cruise and just so happen to find an rsx-s. when i cruise i rarely ever find anyone willing to race. only car that has very obviously tried something was an ek civic sedan with loud exhaust and needless to say, i took care of business

aboone78 · 03-06-2010, 06:10 AM

ill race whatever comes my way.i dont much care what it is and if some kid and his buddy want to start stuff in his busted old thunderbird then who am i to deny them the chance to prove themselves

Same here. Around here we have a bunch two lane curved on-ramps that merge into one lane after a 180 degree bend. I can't even tell you the number of buckets that have tried to beat me up those ramps. Minivans, trucks, cavaliers, suvs...I always let them get out ahead then they have to slam on the brakes going around the bend, where I pass them.

I've been reved on by a full size GMC utility van. Can anybody top that?

I was laughing too hard to actually race it, but still.

ya i have the same thing happen b/c the ramp from 267 in plainfield to 70 E is a 2 into 1 ramp. I had an old man try to race me in an old busted oldsmobile from the early 70's

aarrrghh!!!moses lake has like 3 freeway onramps. thats weak. and in order to actually have fun on them, i have to drive like 15 miles to get to them. i wish some old american pile tried to race me on an onramp

aboone78 · 03-07-2010, 07:48 AM

ya the guy looked like a hobo and his car was beat to hell.and im pretty sure it wasnt running right either

.and that happened before my tune so my car was a lot slower than it is now and i still beat him.im sure he just thought i was some punk ricer and had a vendetta against me

I <3 My BB6 · 03-07-2010, 10:46 PM

x2 on racing faster cars. I too am guikty for raising the occasional POS but I love hoe my helthy lude can keep up with cars that are supposed to be faster! In a way I see the Lude as the best bang for your buck performance. 4-9 g's and you can stick with brand new civic si's as well as many other "quick" cars.

aboone78 · 03-08-2010, 05:52 AM

i think we are all guilty of messin with the occasional POS just b/c its fun

.ive raced a few good cars tho like an early 2000 body style eclipse v6, integra, and v6 mustang.i even raced a mustang gt for kicks but im sure i dont need to tell u guys who won

.it was a random guy but he was cool about it so it was all good.jeez that brings me back b/c that happen the first week i owned my lude...memories

I raced a black dude in a 95 saturn this weekend. he was really pissed off about something.. kept tailgating me for a few miles. I had just stopped by kfc so maybe he smelt the wings.

prepreludesh · 03-15-2010, 02:46 PM

So many racist jokes that could be inserted... so little time
