Another Nissan Titan tried to race me on Westpark tonight.

Westpark. A 35 mph road through a neighborhood. I know why they do it because they want to race 0-40 but it's still a bad place to be hot rodding around. Where are these guys when I'm on the Beltway??

This makes the 3rd Nissan Titan that's tried to race me in three months. One red, one black and this silver one. What is up with this particular truck. They're like

I read a thread on the Nissan board about this. I guess there is a game to see who can race the most Cavaliers and Grand Ams

I had a Porsche Cayenne S try to race me off the lights not that was funny cause I didn't realize it at first so wasn't on the gas that hard so turbo wasn't at full boost until i punched it past him

There is always something faster than what you got. I used to drive a Titan for work and i drove the hell out of it

Never understood racing a truck. Wouldn't pulling stumps or hauling heavy stuff be a better test?

no, I chose not to race. It's Westpark, a residential area with a 35 mph speed limit.

Aside from the risk to the general public, I don't think an arrest for racing 75 in a 35 is enough bang for the buck. But 135 in a 70 is my cup of tea.

Yeah. I don't get very many invites to race. It does depend on the road too. Residential kinda reckless. But open highway i would race someone. But i know i would lose. With a v6 dodge dakota sport good accel at low speeds but kinda sluggish at those high speeds.

Erick: Is it worse in the GTO than the Vette? I find that everyone thinks for some reason they can take a Vette. Even soccer moms in a Honda Odessey. What's up with everyone wanting to try you off the line?
