Yea, so your driving with your modded up fit, not many engine mods but hey atleast it looks cool.

Then a supra or evo comes up next to you and honks three times.

Supra yells " you want to go " ?

What do you guys do when your modded cars get called out for a race on the streets?

Kick it in

I get it a lot. I normally drive and ignore them. If my windows are down and theyre pacing me, blowoff valve going off and all I show them Im not interested and roll up my windows.

Ive been paced by a freakin Z06.

Never had it happen to me yet, but i bet it will when i get my wheels.
Actually we kinda raced a 350Z in traffic on the freeway. We didnt do the three beeps but he really wanted to pass but just didnt have the freeway weaving skills.

I've fallen into strret racing ALOT when I was younger,but then I thought one day,I don't get anything all these year's wheather I lost or won,so what's the point.The only thing your doing is endangering yourself and other's.Plus the people that pick on slower car's like our's with modded Supra's and the like are just saying,"Man I hope this guy doesn't realize I have a small penis."

The only cars Ive raced with my Fit was a 8th gen Si. And sadly he didnt pull till my 3rd gear. God those cars are so slow. I only had an intake and a muffler.

Focus SVT. He never pulled away from me, I was right on his bumper. I was alone and he had 3 people. He still should have pulled.

And for fun my friends rental Kia Rondo v6. He walked me. Hahaha!
It was a free way run.

around here every redneck in a mustang or camaro (and there is a LOT of them) just revs up their gas wasting V8 at you while they slick their mullet back. i use to have an accord coupe that was hammered with wheels and totally stock under the hood and auto for cryin out loud and a retard in a z28 drag car passed by and revved at me. what a douche.

Umm... lesseee not so much now that I am in a Fit and drive uber MPG wise, just to see what it can do....
But on the rare occasion I get out and about well....um nevermind I wont go there. especially on my older rides

but I rarely get hailed here its mostly just nods and revs or speed matching that starts em or provokes em...

but I did get 3beeped from a riced out 8th gen civic coupe on the freeway a couple of months ago and it was (sorta) open and we went for it and he got cut off by some merging bronco so as I passed him I just hit the hazards and died laughing.....

Remember I am bone stock w/dealer tags at the time...(why do they bother...haahaa, its mostly about who is dumb enough or ballzy enough at that point.....

I remember when jerks used to mess with you if you had dealer tags just to see you f-up you pre-broken in engine... (but we all leave our tags on extra long right??? ) I deffinately get more messed with now by bigger SUV's now that I am in a Smaller vehicle (its kinda always been like that though with smaller vehicles and SUV oafs...boooo (get a life ppl)

I usually just ignore em, if somebody in a high horsepower car wants to race my little economy car, odds are they are an idiot anyway

There is an exception to the rule; if I notice a ghost car or patrol vehicle up ahead (Don't know why, I am really good at spotting them) then I rev the hell out of the engine and pretend to start accelerating hard.... they blow by and a few seconds get a ticket So much fun, it never gets old! I am three for three so far

When someones wont to race, and he has 3 times more power. I always tell from the begining that I dont have any chance and I ask if he can show his skills in the slalom ar in tight tourns becouse in this environment I have some chances. Mostly they just confused what to say
