Mine is a new VW Beetle turbo with custom paint and a license plate that said "BADD BUG." After passing him on the highway, he started baiting for a race. Long story short, I slowly accelerated passed him, he gunned it, and when he caught up I gave it the full throttle. I backed off when it was no longer funny. His car seemed decently quick in comparison to most of what's on the road, but it didn't have a chance. Anyone have matchups like this?

I havent raced any one in a long time, there was a 70's nova and monte carlo in town tonight but one said he didnt have anything to prove and the other guy really thought he could stomp me but said that he didnt want to, bunch of sissy's if you ask me.

There are bunch of guys in trucks that think they are cool around here. They are lifted and have fairly loud exhaust. They will seldom mess with me in the cobra, but every time I drive my girlfriends honda accord they are real big guys revven it and flooring it all the time... at a freakin honda :bash: .

I get 99-01 gt's trying to race me often though. They sound good, but I can't hear them anymore once they are behind me :coolman:

You never know who's got what these days though. I had a gold 4 door family car (camry I think) with 4 teens wanna race me and I laughed at them. I finally gave in due to his persistence. I beat him pretty bad but didnt run away as I should have. The guy had turbo charged the car and it amazed me to say the least-Shane

A busted El Camino with a bumper falling off and so much oxidation I could punch a hole in it. It was on my back bumper the whole race. Good lord, SLEEPER.

I had a Ford Escape trying to roll race me on the way back from downtown the other night.

I was one of those that was in silly cars trying to instigate races. I had a 91 Geo Storm GSi with an Isuzu Impulse RS (DOHC turbo 1.6) engine swap. God I loved that car, and talk about a sleeper. I had that car through out highschool, and walked one of my buddies 95 GT with h-pipe and flows. I ran it at the track like two or three times, best time was 13.7@104mph with a 2.3 60ft. Not bad for a GEO.

Every stupid Civic with a fart can muffler seems to want some lately, I like to pace them for a bit when they go full throttle then I pound it to the floor and make them look like they're in reverse :) I'll bet a million dollars most of them at that point say "dam yo he must have nawwwwwzzzzzz" guess again ricer turds your cars are just that slow :)

Two kids in mommy's Oldsmoble. I had started to pass them when the driver hit it and I paced him to 105mph when his speed limiter kicked in. I waved bye bye and put football fields between us.
