Street racing...
You know one thing about street racing I hate? These people that go like, 60 or 70 mph and pull ahead and thing they've won.
I was on Rt 22 last night heading into NYC, and this guy in a black Camaro SS is driving like a complete jackass weaving from lane to lane (if anyone knows how Rt 22 is around the union/mountainside area, you know what I mean by jackass, considering you can't get very far with the 2 lanes on Rt 22 there).
I was just taking my time last night, and this guy obviously sees me and I can hear him drop gears, to let me know he wants to race. So there's a gap in traffic and we both slide through and he takes off and gets up to maybe 45 - 50 mph and then coasts. I eventually catch up next to him, not that I was going full throttle, but I wasn't trying to waste time getting into NYC..
So, I end up next to the guy going maybe 45 and he gives me this goofy ass grin and takes off. So I take off with him, and given, my z28 is not as fast as his SS so I fall way behind (plus I think he had some mods done... aside from the exhaust which you could tell). So, this guy coasts again at around 60 and he's aggravated me at this point so I just floor it and fly by him up to 100.
Now, I know racing at Island or Englishtown or Atco is whoever gets to the line first wins... but since when did street racing become "haha I've pulled ahead by 2 car lengths in front of you in traffic... I win"? Street racing is illegal to begin with, so why do so many people punk out at the actual speed limit? When I street race, I will go as fast as necessary to win (without killing myself) lol.
(Not trying to sound conceited... but) having a nice car, a lot of different cars see me and naturally try to race. I have seen some crazy mofos in pimped out Honda Civics that have given me a run for my money. Doing 100 in some places is just outright obscene, if you know what I mean. Whereas, in situations last night, I get a pussy behind the wheel of an SS.
That just really pisses me off.
