lol, that's funny.. Except I'd be afraid of either being shot at, or finding my car vandalized at some point.

Arg don't tell me your one of those left hand lane cruisers that refuse to get out and fly in formation on the interstate. I usually just cruise in the right pretending like I don't want to go faster until I see my break and then destroy them like the road hogging bastards they are

it's not entrapment if you choose to break the law by "doing something in front of them" which then gives them "reasonable cause" to use the heavy hand of the law anyway they see fit. Cali is a police state. how many other states highway patrol agencies use modded M5's??

But they are encoruaging you by reving. Hence forcing entrapment because they are tauting you and almost forcing you to break the law. You wouldn't have done what you choose to do seeing if the car didn't rev. Am I missled?

Oh yea if you initiate the race it is totally legal. Just like when they use undercover cars to catch speeders. They just can't pull up next to you and start jumping on you. That would be entrapment.

The key is to just follow the other car and wait for them to jump on it to gauge how you compare. Even if it is a cop they can't get you for following them anyway. This is usually how I work it.

I used to race people, and point and laugh etc etc etc, but then one day a old ****ty primera, was there and he had the monster tach, and big chromies, and the 1 inch exhaust, and I had a laugh at him and his mates, and they followed me, until I got trapped in at some lights and the punk got out with a baseball bat. He threatened me, and I got out but he backed off. So nothing really came of it, but it made me think its not really worth it. He coulda smashed my car, or me and I just don't care enough these days.

Now days I tend to let people go, the Evo is fast and I know I can smash them if I want. Its all good, my car is for my enjoyment, not so I can give other guys thrills. Although if someone pulls up next to me and is a nice guy, I'm more than willing to give him the thumbs up. Or a little rev, and a smile.

Wow! I didnt know people did so many different things. But yea usually I ignore them. Especially since Im 23 now. Back in the day I would have probably said gun everytime but nowadays I got some more priorities.
Anyways I might have to try some of these suggestions.

That is a joke right? You have got to be kidding me lol!

Someone reving at you is "almost forcing" you to street race? What a friggin joke if you really believe that. Read what you wrote, you wouldn't have CHOSE to do that if they didn't rev. You still chose to do it, it was your choice, they didn't put a gun out the window and say race me or die biotch! Now that would be entrapment.

Exhibition of speed = revving engines...are cops allowed to break laws in order to pull people over? I think half the reason I want to be a cop is to figure out all the freakin loopholes and jack that they use to pull people over. Oh, and I just drive like normal, it usually ends up smoking most cars...up till the speed limit, where they go flyin past me...morons...like this Z4 a few nights ago, guarenteed he got going 100 in a 45, at the very least and I stayed going 45 and laughed as he got pulled over after the next light
My clutch is too precious to me to actually race anyone though....I like the idea of letting them win and then saying "whoa, fast car" at the next light
