I was on my way to a wedding reception party in my 2009 SS sedan... we were all dressed up in our tux's and dresses (me, my gf, my cousin, my cousins gf). I get to a light on route 40 and I see a red fire bird pull up next to me. My cousin verifies that it is the piece of garbage v6 version and it had two young guys driving it. I rolled off the line as normal and so did he. I get to third gear at around 2000rpms going 30-35 mph and he guns it!!!
I left it in third and pushed the gas pedal all the way down. I rolled on by him like he wasnt moving while my passangers waved to him, lol. very funny. My cousin noted the comedy behind it when I didnt down shift to get a better power band.
"The best part is you left it in 3rd and you have 3 adult passangers including yourself." lol. I lined up with him again but he didnt want to do it after that.

Has anyone ever come across someone wanting to race you in a car that without a doubt didn't stand a chance?
I was at a light waiting and what looked like a 93 Ford Escort pulled up next to me. He rev'd his engine and I just looked over at him. I didn't know if he was serious or not...untill the light turned green and he peeled off. Then I pulled up next to him at the next light...rev'd again. I just kinda shook my head. I was making the left anyways...
What do you guys do in this situation? Do you actually race ones that you know you'll win or not?

Had a S10 come up next to me on the highway once. He paced me for about a mile before I dropped it to 3rd and floored it. 3 seconds later he goes screaming by me. Saw him a month later at a local BBQ. Had his hood popped and guess what the top of the motor said? Nissan 2500... Twin ******* Turbo'd R34 motor.

a red 2005 wrx was blowing off next to me on my way to work. I lined up at the light and we rolled off, I was giving him a chance to get a lead and he wasnt taking it. It seemed he was giving me a chance to lead instead ![lol](https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Well this wrx already blew his chance to beat me so I continued my roll at the speed limit and then he guns it. I lol to myself and leave it in 4th and gun it. rolled right past him and he slowed down. he ended up traveling the same direction for the next 20 miles, lol. He stayed behind the whole time and didnt try to blow off next to me or rev his engine anymore. If it wasnt cold out I would have rolled down my window and told him his car sounds nice. lol.

Kids in these mid 90s Mazda MX3s with fart cans, one has a bench on the back try to run at lights and try to fly by and I dont want to but I just blip the throttle a bit put a bus length on them and shut down. Also have trucks try to run me all the time but if I've already wasted gas on an unworthy race that day I dont humiliate them.

Yup, almost weekly. I used to get annoyed, but I forget I used to do that sheit so I could see how they ran.
Especially in cars that I couldn't afford at the time.
Now, I usually smile and give 'em a thumbs up and they're cool with it.![Cool](https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Usually laugh... but there were these high school kids.. mom and dad probably bought this for them.. and they were acting like idiots. It was a '03-'06??? Mazda RX8. After tailing them.. and trying to keep away from their foolish driving... swirving and all sorts of crap. We met at a light.. the driver looks at me.. and starts jumping in his car and bouncing in the seat. Acting like the angry German kid off of YouTube. The light turns green. He takes off, i wait for a count of 3 and go. I caught him quickly.. and he looks at me and starts head banging on the steering wheel, and is like yeah yeah i got him. I'm sandbag'n like a kid in a fresh diaper waiting to take a fresh dump. So.. i then crush his hopes and dreams. I floor it while in 2nd and then NLS to 3rd and was gone. I glanced over to see his eyes wide open and then he stops headbang'n and tries to drive serious to keep up, but unfortunately.. its all over for him in his little RX8. Was fun times.

Me and my friend had a drag race about 2 years ago. Was my 07 G5 (L61 w/F23 trans) against his 1992 Subaru Legacy (5 speed, 2.2L SOHC). Wasn't even a contest. Fun fact: both cars from that race are now totaled in non-related crashes, both due to PA winters.
