this is my latest street race. it happened last night. altogether, i'd say it was pretty fun. i won too, so i can't complain. my car is a porsche 951. currently my mods are: k&n cone filter, bought to replace my airbox that was in bad condition, lindseyracing.com boost enhancer that makes the turbo spool 1000 rpm sooner and reach full boost sooner, and autothority stage II chips. currently my car makes around 260-270 hp with 290 ft/lb torque. the car i raced was an older fox bodied (the boxy ones) mustang GT. after my film watching class, i figured i'd practice some launches in my car. i turn off the main road onto a side street where i get in the left turn lane so i can go down the road some and turn right, putting me on a secluded straight road. while stopped, a cadillac passes by in front of me and a mustang behind it. i pull out and get behind the mustang with my right turn less than 100 ft. down the road. instead of turning though, i follow the traffic back onto the other main street in my town- diamond drive. the cadillac, the GT (which i just learned it was a GT as i could get close enough to see the back of it at the light), and me are all in the right turn lane, making our way through the red light. i wasn't too sure if i wanted to race because, a) my tires need replacing and it's cold, so traction= poo, b) my wire thingy for my radar detector broke and i haven't replaced it yet, so i have no way of knowing if cops are around, and c) i need to get my brakes done, so going fast is only smart when you can stop well. anyway, as the GT turns right, i hear him get on the throttle, his car producing that nice muscle car sound, but it's no match for my 4-banger! muhahaha! actually, the chips give me a lower exhaust note and the engine has that nice european sound to it. it in no way sounds like rice. seeing that something might develop here, i california roll through the red light and get on the throttle, passing him quickly and then slowing down to see if he'll take suit. he does. yay, a race in a town where they're hard to come by. i get it into second which is good for 70 mph and take off for about 200 ft. and gain 3-4 car lengths on him, then slow down. we pass Texaco and go over a very small hill at slightly illegal speeds. i make sure to go slow here because i've gotten a ticket here before. after the hill, it opens to a straightaway for a few hunder feet, so i downshift and take off again, gaining 3-4 car lengths again before i start to slow a few hundred feet later. i let him catch up and pass me. he speeds up a little bit as we go around about a gradual 90 degree right curve (same one i spun 270 degrees in another story). i just hang out behind him at about 50. the curve goes up a hill and passes by Conoco. i make sure to go slow here because sometimes there's cops. promptly past Conoco, also an area called Conoco hill, there are three rolling hills going downward for our direction that lead into the golf course area. i hang out behind him because the hills don't give the best visibility as to what's below. we're doing maybe around 55-60. soon as we get to the bottom of the hills, i downshift into 3rd. the golf course area is the best place to speed and race in town. anyway, after shifting, i take it up to about 90-100, coming up behind him, gaining around 5-6 car lengths. i let off the throttle and wait for him to catch up some where i get on the gas again in 4th gear, him not being able to catch up. quickly i get on the brakes because of a slight hill that you can't see over and also the golf course pro shop is on the right side and cops hang out there and nab speeders. we cruise after that small hill and dip into a right bend, with trees on the right side, limiting your view around the corner. there's the fire station on the left and i don't want to speed by because a cop could be situated there too. after we pass the fire station, the roundabout is maybe 300 ft. ahead. once more, i downshift into 3rd and take off. i he gets into my lane and follows me through the roundabout. i figured either the guy wants to pull over and talk, or he's pissed off at me. i do the roundabout at about 20 mph in second gear, so when i come out, i'm at 2000 rpm. i stay in the left lane, he changes into the right, maybe to initiate a pass. i was expecting him to pass me momentarily because i can't really take off real well with such low rpm's, but i get on the gas and my turbo spools up and i'm off with him losing ground. after that, we pretty much just cruised through the golf course, not racing or anything, i just let him hang out in front of me. we came back to the rolling hills i mentioned before and i shifted down into third and gave it enough gas to go up the hills. he stayed in the right lane and ended up turning off into Conoco or Dominoe's Pizza or something and i proceeded home. it was a fun race that consisted of me coming from behind, flying by him, slowing down, letting him pass me or try to catch up, then flying past him. the race probably spanned a whole 7-8 miles through most of town. i thought about giving him a thumbs up several times, but it was dark and he might of thought i was flipping him off. at least i live in a town where i won't get shot for doing something like that. |

I read it all. Good story. Why don't you play aphex twin tracks really loud as you race? As a street racer can you confirm that MSR on the dreamcast is the most realistic street racing game? Have you ever been chased by (and lost) the cops? One of my friends claims to have lost a volvo pursuit vehicle (UK) in his V12 Vauxhall Corsa. He realised he was never going to lose them on the motorway, so he led them into the country lanes where his superior acceleration and much shorter car length allowed him to lose them. He only did this because they always pull him for nothing and he's claimed harasment and they still pull him. Looks like next time he'll have a real reason to run away ;) Have you ever raced for money? Have you ever considered taking part in the MSX races in Japan? What other cars have you raced in? |

so far, i've only raced my porsche 951 and my now nonfunctioning porsche 944 because that's all i've owned. the most realistic racing game is gran turismo 3: A spec. that's a track racing game. as for street racing games, i don't know, they're usually oriented more towards arcade style gameplay. Burnout looks wicked though because it has very detailed crashes. i have not run from the cops. i have gotten pulled over 4 times, 2 of those earning me tickets. however, last week i think i managed to avoid a ticket by turning off onto a street and hauling ass home. your friend who ran from the cops...it's plausible seeing that he was smart enough to get on country roads. i have never raced for money as my town is small and races are hard to come by. i wouldn't mind taking my car to the track. i am going to begin to learn how to drift better and more often. for me, the easiest drifting is cold drifting, where the ground is cold and traction is easily broken. wet drifting is the worst as you often have to correct and it's less controllable (i've also spun 270 degrees in the rain) |

for this particular race, i was listening to bogdan's album "samurai math beats." i play my aphex/autechre/squarepusher or whatever collection. the more people around, the more i turn up the radio and more likely i'm going to put on come to daddy or ventolin or anything considered obnoxious by the general public. |

Ceri JC: I love MSR on the Dreamcast!! You should (and anyone else interested in street racing and has a dreamcast or maybe a playstation2) check out Tokyo Highway Challenge and THC2. I know it's not near as good as MSR but it should be at bargin bin prices now. The main focus of the games is street racing rival gangs on Tokyo's night streets. It has some pretty good graphics too. |

If I ever have enough spare cash to get a car that is showy rather than just a "A2B-Mobile", I'll get a Black Bentley Turbo Classic with tinted windows, a mp3 drive instead of a CD player. Cedar wood panelling and black leather seats. It is big and powerful, but not sporty, just regal. I do not have some inadequecy I'm making up for ;) |
