Is It Just Me, Or Does Everyone Want To Drag?

[steveqwerty]

I wonder If you were the 300zx that I sorta raced last week.   He gave it some so I just rolled on about 3/4 throttle on the bike in fourth and tore away.

[MBS206]

I never have an issue... If it's a nice V8 or other car beside me I give the appreciation nod and we both just cruise off...

Last guy who went to plant it stopped as soon as it started to spool and then fluttered massively from 2nd to 3rd... He looked over with a "I would have bitten off more then I can chew"

But other then that... I only really got it from people I actually egged on, half the people who tear off at lights AREN'T trying to race you... I take off quck all the time in the work Jazz... I'm just driving normally

[MissR34]

if sumone wants me to drag them i normally just rev the car up and then let them do whatever they have to do when the lights go green, and i just sit there and watch them then i move hahaha

[DELLER]

I always get commordore drivers tring to race me and i'm sick of it

But your car would so fast with the NOS and the big rims, and body kit and those awesome Vinyls!

Oh, but you've got dodgy knock sensors hey?

Tehehehehe...

[MissR34]

If it was me i wasn't racing, im not quite stupid enough to go up against a bike.

yeah no one is,   except other bikes and since I cant ride for shit I lose and its no fun.

i must say i'm guilty of doing this. had a NA 33 next to me at the lights the other day when i was in the missus SSS pulsar. light went green and i took off not fast, but not like a grandma. heard the skyline take off hard and the nose start to move past mine so i floored it and watched the front of the skyline stop moving foward then start to slowly move backwards. then we both lifted off at 60kmh and he seemed to drop right back. the missus was in the car and found it rather amusing.

also had a run with a r32 gts-t in the pulsar. the 32 was in front of me though and they took of hard so i just floored it to see how the pulsar went compared to the rb20 turbo. it was only just pulling away. but again, it was only up to 60kmh before lifting off.

back when i had my gts-t i had more encounters with commodores wanting to race, but pretty much anytime an import was up against me they would try to race me. so if you put it into terms of % of cars wanting to race, imports were about 98%, commodores about 20%.

oh and 131kw in a 1450kg car isn't exactly a lot. you would find that a lot of magna's ect would actually beat you as they would have about the same power but in a slightly lighter car. my first magna had been thrashed and it still had 127kw. but there are plenty out there in better condition with well over 130kw. there are quite a few with just an exhaust putting out around 135kw at the wheels.

i did in my 180sx once, but it was my mate on the bike, so i didn't mind watching him disapear into the distance, LOL

I do...

250cc bikes get minced... And rolling runs against 600CC sports bikes is priceless when they look back and they've only pulled around 2 car lengths on you...

Then the harleys... They're like racing Excels...

But haven't ran anyone like that in AGES... Maybe I should go for a drive?

Well no magna i've come across has been able to "beat me" as of yet. I never exactly said it was the fastest P plater car but it is pretty quick for an NA. Hell a mates standard R33 GTSt (catback,pod) can only get half a car on me, but he isn't exactly the best driver. In any case can't wait till i go ported plenum w/ SR20 TB's, Extractors&frontpipes Done and a proper tune.

I don't know what it is, but I've had my skyline for a year and a half and no one around here is game enough to line up with me! I'm yet to have a v8 commodore driver sit up to the line with me yet, they all seem to want to sit a car length back....

Too true, had mine 8 months and no one wanted to drag me, although.....

My mate and I (Black R34 GTT) were cruising home on a main highway and this bright green FPV GT-P comes up alongside me at about 80kmh, looks across for about a sec, then keeps going to my mate in front with the GTT. After that, all I hear is the FPV revving its tits off LOL.

I think he got scared of the GTR badge

You both drive GTR's, when both of you come across a big hp supra on the highway, you'll know its karma catching up! JOKING!

300zx's are heavy bastards, my mate had a n/a z32 which got flogged by my ratty old beater r31, i was quite surprised.

[Touge Kyousou]

I use to get it a bit with my first car (fto.. sporty looking i guess) but the v35 gets no attention at all, it's great! I've owned it for 1 1/2 years now and i honestly can't think of one time where some random tried to start a drag.

Oh crap spoke too soon, ok once in 1 1/2 years still ain't bad right. Stupid aurion..

Though i don't drive it much these days as i've kept it for a weekender (and hardly at that, quite sad).

I guess the fact that some people don't consider the V's as proper skylines coupled with the fact that Skylines are famous upto and including the R34 shape helps as well...no one really knows what the V is, or cares lol.

Yeah they are heavy as shit, the 4 seater Targa tops especially they're like 1520kg for the N/A Variant.

id say we have all been guilty of this at some stage.........

[scotty014]

i can honestly say ive never taken on anyone at the traffic lights in my r34, i dont take off like a grandma or anything usually just in between.

when going to work and home there are a couple roundabouts where you slow down from 100km/h and then speed back up to 100km/h and they are double lanes, and thats when i get some people try to outbrake and speed past me, one of them being a golf gti and it was the same guy at the same spot in the same situation 3 days in a row it was crazy, he is very pushy and constantly chaning lanes trying to get ahead and cutting people off but the 3 times he caught up to me on the inside lane trying to pass me at the roundabout he couldnt and he would begin tailgating me because he couldnt get past. then it goes double lanes again up further and i just let him go with a smile on my face lol it was hilarious.
