Picking Your Fights

Joey304 · October 3rd, 2006, 11:35 PM

i dont race much, and if i do its with my friends, but what do you guys do if someone pulls up next to you in a car that u know is going to beat you, do u race and hope for the best or just him off like hes got nothin on u.

itschristorres8 · October 3rd, 2006, 11:40 PM

happens to me ALOT!
my car looks like a v8, so i get all kinda of GT's, SRT-4s and the lighting trucks reving at me and all..
when the light turns green i just drive normal and watch them floor it...
better then having your ass handed to you. although i did race and SRT-4 for fun once and a WRX in my v6...the srt-4 kinda shocked me, its not that fast

the WRX took me though easy

basically aviod it and drive off slow,
but if you want you never know. i raced a dakota truck once, i coulda SWORN i was gunna lose, i was reving me engine cuz i thought i was racing a stock neon, then the truck pulled up and won actually
but if your 100% ur gunna lose, just drive slow. your not gay cuz u didnt race lol

AtlanticBlue99 · October 4th, 2006, 12:26 AM

If you know you are going to lose, I would not try, but if you are not sure, there is only one way to find out...

Joey304 · October 4th, 2006, 11:39 AM

i was wondering about the WRX, cause the WRX STI is the fast version of it, can a 6er take a regular WRX

ChrisJ · October 4th, 2006, 11:42 AM

I doubt a V6 without quite a few mods could take a WRX...They are decently fast...

The WRX runs a low to mid 14

itschristorres8 · October 4th, 2006, 01:10 PM

i sed i raced him for fun...i knew i was gonna lose,
and i did

Drgnracin72 · October 4th, 2006, 01:20 PM

you said the srt-4 barely beat you what kinda times are you pullin. becasue ve seen them go 13.7-8 completely stock

itschristorres8 · October 4th, 2006, 01:25 PM

never ran on a track...idk where any are around here

...im not sure what he was doing...we raced i'd say 1/8 an he won by 2 car lengths maybe, i'd say 1 1/2 about

Joey304 · October 4th, 2006, 03:16 PM

my friend has an srt-4 and i dont think i dont think i would even come close to catching him, that video of the srt4 beating the new gt says alot

itschristorres8 · October 4th, 2006, 04:29 PM

what video?!
plus ive posted a video of a 1999 GT beating and SRT-4 with just exhaust and intake.
that says a lot

Joey304 · October 4th, 2006, 04:52 PM

yeah I have seen them go 14 flat but I have also seen them go 15's its all about the driver

Drgnracin72 · October 4th, 2006, 09:48 PM

thats very true, everyone thinks they are a badass driver untill they go to the track and thats where it tells no lies.

true,,, i hope i do good cuz i consider myself a good driver!
im just a shitty launcher

Joey304 · October 4th, 2006, 11:21 PM

around my area, there are alot of dickheads in G35s and 350zs, can a gt take those? and i someone said in another post a v6mustang can easily take an eclipse but what about a 3000gt?

itschristorres8 · October 4th, 2006, 11:46 PM

a 3000GT....not a chance
completely different, that 3000gt is a badass machine i must say

FireryDriver · October 5th, 2006, 02:20 AM

ok well I'm driving a stock 06 GT 5 speed manual and I've crushed eclipses, modded RSX-type S, old vintage modded muscule cars, 350z's, a few random WRX's (not STI because the STI is just insanely fast) my friends audi TT, and other punks in the austin area. Even though their cars may be better engine wise, for me the biggest part of these races is definately the launch. I've mastered how to launch without burning the tires and really if you want to become a better racer, go to a parking lot and just practice launching until you can go 0-60 without spinning your wheels and giving up valuable distance. That alone has given me the edge in almost all of my races because once you get past 2nd gear, you're usually just blazing ahead of them and the only thing they see are your taillights. Oh and don't half ass a race, push your car to it's limits and don't shift early unless you're confident you have them outclassed. Now go show them what you're car can really do

Drgnracin72 · October 5th, 2006, 01:14 PM

you want the tires to spin just a little bit. if they dont your losing revs big time

The basic 3KGT is weak sauce...

The 3KGT VR4 is mean though...Just like the Dodge Stealth R/T

RidgewayRacing · October 28th, 2006, 04:53 PM

3000gts are weak i have to say ive seen alot of people repping them like are the fastest ricers around but they usually wont even race but they are like any other car if you do enough you will win some races. i havent seen a modded out one in person but seen alot of pathetic excuse for a sports car stock ones get spanked imho they are one of the most highly overated cars
