So, just this past weekend a new Vette Z06 wouldn't race me. Then just yesterday a new bright yellow S2000 (very nice looking one, too) is on an open stretch of road with me when the light up ahead turns red. I start thinking I'm finally gonna get to see an S2000 in action since the lane next to me is completely open as I sit at the line. My excitement quickly died when the guy in the S2000 got right behind me at the light and never once tried to roll up. Maybe I should just give up hope of ever racing.

damn...you have some bad luck...don't trip though man...everytime I think I'm gonna get a good race it's always some 80 year old grandma in a porche or something. Everybody is hella old where I live so I feel ya.

Hmm.. you should drive the speed limit to force him over to the other lane..hahaha.. j/k

I dunno, I never have this problem.. b/c people in T.O are crazy drivers. Everyone drives fast. I've just raced with a 911 Turbo before I got home today, actually it was really me and him doing fly bys on each other... It was damn funny, he flys by me, I gun it and fly-by him, he gun it and fly-by me, then I fly-by him again then there was traffic in front of me and he flys-bys me.

But its really where you live... Old people in my area are just as crazy.

where i live (boston), there arent a lot of people who really like to race
i went to new hampshire and on this one stretch of roead had like 3 cars try to race me
i raced them and lost to every one, but at least i raced
in mass, i try to race, but people just dont want to. of course there is an ocasional(sp) person that races and usually beats me, but thats it.

yah Boosted... but some say people in my area are already considered to be decent drivers. But I guess you can be both a decent driver and a racer in the same time.

and yes mike I like to race with faster cars also. When I "race" with that Porsche 911 Yesterday... I was not execpting to win, but not lose by too much either.
