1. there's alot of ways to signal a race... i usually rev my car, or you point forward.. start rolling forward at a light.. or just straight out ask the guy. make sure you not gonna kill anyone tho.

2. is it a manual or automatic? with a manual, u can rev up the car and launch it harder, but you have to work on that.. see how high of an RPM you can launch at without spinning your tires. also.. work on shift points.. if your shifting at 3000rpm in a race, you wont do very good.. but try and stay below redline.. i usually shift at 5000-5500rpm.

good luck.

darn.....supraboy's reply surely hits the nail in the head concerning the debate on this thread......... way-to-go Supraboy.............NOT !!!

actually this thread is talking about racing and supraboy wanted to know a few things about racing.

plus the thread was out of date so it didnt matter.

most threads topics are carried on to other things anyway

This is old and for weezl, But in your story with bikes you mentioned flashing your lights are her, and then she turned in front of you. Perhaps she took the faslhing lights as a "you can go" thing. lol. I know why people cut off bikes too. I saw a motorcycle coming down the road and turned in front of him, at a safe distance but he was closer than i thought. And they look like their either going really slow or it looks like a car thats further down the road.

well, thats a hell of a way to resurect a dead thread.!!...

maybe someone should show supraboy where the "new thread button " is.

to supraboy
are you talking about racing random pple?
i got an advice for you,,, DONT F***ING DO IT
dont you know where local tuners hangout and race in your area?
do it with them

but if you were talking about on a closed out street
we flash our brights to clear the track and warn everybody that a race is about to happen

and after finishing the hazard lights are turned on

Ha
 

COBALT SS is a crap car SUPRA is the best import car hands down

a guy in my town wants to race me in a eclipse 4 cylinder front wheel drive GAY car but we cant seem to have both our cars running at the same time i wll beat him easy becasue his car is slow mines an 88 nonturbo auto and is fun and fast

eclipses are wimps, (except for the gsx)

but that fwd will lose badly to you

i dusted a 03 ecplise by 3 lenghts on a heads up race

The front wheel drive eclipse sucks lol. especially n/a automatics. SO SLOW! The awd talon tsi/gsx/gst however is a different story, I rode in one of these in the rain andi t had more traction than my supra has on dry street. Crazy ride lol. The cobalt SS/SC is a quick car, Def faster than a stock mk3, But its apples and oranges. Hopped up economy compact vs one of the best sports cars of the 80s nad 90s lol. I saw a video article on some cars vs the porsche 944, And they didnt include the supra cause it would have won lol. It was the 944 turbo S(not the 250hp one that came out later) vs Starion ESI-r, Rx7 turbo II, and a 300zx turbo. I really have no idea why they didnt put the mk3 in, I still think its because they wanted the porsche to win.

cuz we would be mopping the floor with a mop named porshe 944

dont get me wrong i know sumbody who has the same car with 350hps and get this 500 lbs/ft of torque ,

but i know this one with a stock one
and stock for stock, it was a slughter,
those car aint got nothing on us
KING KONG AINT GOT NUTHING ON US lol
