I put "0-60sub4" on my license plate recently, and it has 100% stopped people from trying to race me. Before, every joker from Hondas to g35s to Acuras to m3s -- even Cadillac SUVs and crap like that would try to pull on me or take off from a stoplight. I got sucked in a lot, just to "show them". I decided I was sick of it and wanted a tag that told people right away "If you're faster than that, then you win... If you're slower (99%) then I win. The End." And amazingly, it's working

It is even better to blow their doors off and then when you pull up at the next light, let out a big yawn

LMAO thats funny. Though I am glad you dont live around me. The last kid that stuck his A$$ out at me got plugged with my baton. He wasnt expecting it and the driver was evidently not ready for me to get out of the car. I stuck my baton right in the sphinker hole. LOL he screamed like a little girl LOL.

the guy behind me was laughing so hard. he said hes never witness that before.

I have two ways of dealing with that:
1. Ingore them. Seriously, it's the best way.
or
2. Rev your engine at the light, give them the staredown. When the light goes green, take off like a Grandma Usually that pretty much pisses them off, they won't even look at you at the next light.

look over at the car next to you, and act like your pressing the NOS button on your car, and then whip your head back in the seat ... ( but just floor it ) usually really pisses off civics around here, then about 10 mins later you get the ricer fly by, with the 4ways,...


but really just ignore them, unless they keep annoying you then just give them hell... now if you pull up to a sicko vette and **** just ignore it all the way lol

I had a stock s2000 "race" me once. I sat in 3rd gear next to him as if I was trying super hard just to keep up, with an intense look on my face. Then I looked over at him, smiled and waved bye-bye and floored it. When he finally caught up at the next red light he was laughing. Needless to say, he let me leave the line first slowly and stayed behind me

Don't let those fools get to you. Try to ignore them, if you start to race on the street your going to do it every time someone pulls next to you. Next thing you know your paying tickets and your insurance is sky high. Go to a track and smoke people there it's safer and cheaper.

At times I cannot believe what I read on here. Ignore them and go about your business. If you want to race, go to the track---- where you will usually find you are not as good as you think you are and your car is not as fast as you think it is. If you fail to exercise good judgement and mature thinking on the track you damage only your own equipment and fragile self image. Race on the streets and someone can pay the price for your stupidity. I know it is harsh to hear, but the truth is always the truth.
