Nobody here does this "street race" thing you're talking about, bro.
That would be illegal.

You can play with R35 GT-R's at that power level. And if they're running E85, your chances of winning are even better.

LOL. I knew this was coming. Like I said, i don't street race. Let me rephrase my question. Say there's an M5 in the gutter lane and a parked car 75 yards ahead. Im in the second lane and I don't want to let the M5 over in front of me. Could I keep him behind me? LOL

Yep. Just make sure he hits said parked car after you run him off the road.

All that matters is who puts their hazards on first anyway, bro.

I see what you did there. LOL. Believe me I'm not making light of the dangers of street racing and honestly, I don't race. I've never even launched my GT. Sincerely, my question is 95% hypothetical. But Im beginning to get the idea that im not going to get many straight answers haha

Have you tried looking up 1/4 mile times for the various cars you would "hypothetically" be "racing"? that should give u an idea of how fast they are compared to you, but keep in mind some people can drive and some cant. But since u "dont race" that shouldn't matter

This thread reminds me of this:

 

[fdjizm]

Trying to figure something out... if you know a car is faster than you, then you won't race that car?

never understood that if that's the case.

 

[19COBRA93]

and honestly, I don't race.

Yeah, the whole basis of this thread suggests that. You're more likely the guy trying to race anyone and anything no matter what time of day. Your M5/parked car scenario pretty much sums up the type of driver you are. Irresponsible, careless, and no regard for the safety of anyone. You're the guy who gives the rest of us a bad name and image. Thanks for that.

You never beat the shit out of kids to prove how manly you are?

That video makes me laugh every time I see it.

Couldn't be further from the truth. But thanks for your input.

Edit to expand on my post:

IF the the M5/parked car scenario actually happened in real life, i'd probably accellerate with him for 60 feet to show him i could hang, then change lanes to allow him to get over. It's nothing that any of you have never done before. When you guys made mods to your cars, you all wanted to know what you were "on par with." That's all i'm looking for really. I'm not an asshole driver, and i'm not a street racer.

but yet you come across as he described you

I usually just take off with my hazards on, then just say I won from there

 

[HellsBells]

This one time I streetraced a Veyron and I won, in my corolla. But we were totally not street racing or anything I don't blow through intersections seriously guys I just wanted to see who was faster and the best part was not only did I beat the Veyron but there was this van full of kids and a bus with autistic kids and two ambulances with their sirens on. I sure showed them who is king of the road! But seriously I don't street race, only when there's hypothetical school buses.

OP, just lay into the gas, then get out of it, then when the other car lets off lay back into it and fly by them. You'll 'win' every time!
