Am I doing it Wrong?

Post by ppctx »

I've pulled next to an srt, Trans ws6 with a paint job, camaro SS with pretty stickers, etc... People that should want to display.. No one wants to go. My car looks rather stock except if you see the exhaust and front bumper. What's the trick to getting people to go.. Is it because my avatar is an actual pic of me, am I to ugly to accelerate quickly with?

if you wanna find races, find a local group of fooz that hang out and race each other.

just finding them out and about is very sporadic, like once a month from my experience...

Pull out a gun and shoot at their car. See if you can keep up while they attempt to escape. Should give you a good idea of how your car would stack up against theirs.

Maybe its because they have heard you are ka-t and scared?

Maybe the people you tried to race don't mess around on the street. People try to mess with me all the time, but i usually just ignore them because i need to keep my drivers license.

Put a flat bill baseball cap on backwards, and recline your seat at an angle just enough to see above the dash without rear ending someone. Pull up next to them and dead rev. They will go.

Just rev a little to get their attention... always works for me. Or if you see someone on the highway just roll beside them and eventually they will catch on.

Although ture, this was meant as a joke thread. The scenario is I pull up next to someone (typically someone that looks like they've built power into their car) on the hwy. Drop it into 4th and pull nose to nose. Hit it just a bit a couple of times, nothing. Smile or laugh a couple of times, nothing. Can't really ask them if they want to go but my actions strongly encourage them in that direction.

I did get one “quick acceleration” trial with a guy in a solstice or something. I was letting my friend drive and the other guy pulled up to the light and looked over with that supper cocky smirk. I rolled down the window and smiled real big and asked if his car was fast. He gave me the cocky YES node and the light changed. Despite my drivers resistance to the taunts (telling me stop, stop:), the other guys car was not nearly as fast as he thought it was.

It's odd but not that big a deal. The 1/8th mile is only a couple of miles down the road. I think that due to my stock stance, every one that has come to talk to the crowd I meet out there, the NA 240sx get the "oow, that’s nice, what do you have in there", when they say stock and point at me and say he's the one with the big turbo, it usually gets the "meh" look. I assume this is the same thing the power cars on the hwy are thinking. Not that big a deal and I'm probably better off for it.

If you want someone to run you have to say something to piss them off. Example: Pull up next to a trans am and ask him if its a mustang. Tell mustang gt owners "lets see what that little 6-cylinder" got.

Ask any non-honda import if its a honda.

Yes undesiredshoe was running an interfooler > ricer! I have been caught with an interfooler when i was getting my hotpipe welded. It's embarising to say i can't run you because my turbo isn't hooked up, it's just for looks right now.

The first couple I blew off.. Now I'm trying to figure out if y'all are just being funny or want a ka-t tribute thread to a former member that got shot.

I think I've figured it out by watching everyone else’s vids and "when" they do it. I don’t do it after the sun goes down. Day time I can see everything around me and way on down the road for possible crap in the road (wild life, semi tires, junk, etc) or the poe poe on the side of it, trying to shot me in the face with freaking laser beams on their heads. Night time, I have terrible night vision and can't see, so legal speeds are difficult enough so I aint looking to do any 60 to XXX. That and I never do it on signalized or residential roadway as anyone can pull out/walk out from a side street or driveway.

Most of the them are learning not to mess with 240's. The 240 is to bad a$$ and out there league. It would be like a hayabusa and a honda fit racing. They know you will "wax that a$$".
I was in mine one day going home and this s2000 come flying down the ramp in front of me. I've been wanting to race one for awhile. Anyways I drop it down in 4th and hit the gas to catch up to him and he see's me I guess and slows down. I get up beside him and jump at him alittle and he looks at me and shakes his head no and says I don't have anything for you! It was modded but I don't know how much. I guess the flying up on him in 4th intimidated him or the intercooler did one.
Everyone around where I live know that 240's are not to be messed with. There are way to many around with over 275hp ka-t and sr20's. I know of about 7 in my area that will kill all the cars you mentioned mine including. :D
