Well I've really only raced once... on a stretch of road outside of town (I live out in the country). My brother has a '91 or '92 chevy blazer 4.3L V6. Anyways, we were driving home in my car and I jokingly asked him if he wanted to race once we got home. At first I didn't want to because of the difference in car classes... his being a truck and mine being a (large) car. I didn't think it would be worth it. I was thinking he'd beat me off the line easy and then I would have taken over after about 20 to 30 mph when he'd have to shift out of 1st. Well, his front end was at my rear doors shortly after the start. We kinda had a messed up start since there was no one to signal a start outside the car. There was also some wet patches on the road so I spun my tires at first. After that I was gone but not completely because I let off the gas every now and then to see if he would pass me. I would keep it in low so it would stay in 2nd up to 75mph and when he would whip around me I would step on it. I would have to say it was about the stupidest thing I did though (even though it was fun) because instead of stopping at the 1/4 mile mark, we kept going around the (sharp) corners. If it wasn't for the time being 3am, we probably would have had some company on the roads. Anyways, yes, that was a win for me... me and my little 2.7L. Of course, it was a truck... with a lot more torque though. The only other time was with some honda civic... not really riced out though. Just tinted windows and fake "hid" headlights and of course some chick driving. We were at a light where everyone knows her lane has to merge into mine less than 100 yards from the intersection. She was behind me but purposely went into the lane that soon ends. She was probably thinking that like everyone else, I was going to start off slow. I stood on it once the light turned green and so did she. Sometimes those are peppy little cars because at first she jumped ahead because the low end power on my car sucks, but after 25mph I took it and she had to merge behind me. One thing I learned... don't underestimate chicks in civics because they're just as agressive as the guys are. That's why I hate it when they get lower insurance rates. Of the two times I've raced, I've won... only because I won't race anything else because I know I'll lose... until I get the 5.7 hemi intrepid
