Both my E55's are gone the 01' and the 05'. Maybe I'm getting older but for the 1-2 years I owned them, I never had the opportunity to race a single person. No, I was not driving around crusing the typical spots that kids race, but you would have thought somewhere along the line I would have run into someone who might have been interested in a short run. I'm not upset, just a little surpised that it never came about. I don't know where all you people with the mod'd cars live, but I can tell you my time in NY and AZ there just isn't anyone to even consider for a test run. I'm now gone from the W210 and W211 boards. You all take care and drive safe.

Try SoCal next. I can't go a day without rolling up on someone that wants to test out the E. Having no badging definitely helps.

 

Don't feel bad, I know exactly how it is in NY. I came across an M5 once in Long Island, 5 mins away from Americana Manhassat, going to LIE from Northern Blvd.. Since I have an M6, I know how those E60 M5s are. We came to a stop light, I looked over, the guy in the M5 was sitting straight up like pole position, so I was thinking to myself that he was game and I can finally test out how my E55 would do against one of those. Light turned green, I jumped ahead WOT, thinking the M5 was probably right next to me, but when I looked over, the guy was 3-4 cars behind, and from what I saw, the guy didn't want to race. At that moment I was thinking, what does he need an M5 for? Just to be cool? I am telling you, lots of people I came across in those M's, AMG's, Porsche's don't want to race on the streets, not even for a quick 20 seconds fun. I know we should always obey the traffic law, but it sure doesn't hurt to jump on the cars a little.

 

2many cars, sundays captree when leaving, ricers,vettes are always game

 

i can confirm the az situation...

 

Thanks for the info, I will leave them up to my somewhat street legal drag car to play with, if I can wake up early enough on Sundays.

 

Dallas is the same way. Dullsville. I think I had an Accord V6 try to race me, but I couldn't really tell as he was so far behind.

 

Lots of competitors in SoCal here... Many opportunities to put your car to a test...

 

Maybe we can meet halfway and race each other bfnnrgn

 

I was recently told that Friday night at Central market in Plano is a hot spot for people looking for action.

I heard there's a somewhat more mature crowd in Frisco but I don't know the night or location.

 

you should of woke your *** up early last week end, i sware to god there was no less than 500 cars, mostly exotcs

 

I usually pick up a race every 3-4 weeks in Northern VA...last occured yesterday. I was in my E at the light with this Porsche Caynne. I was checking out his brakes at the light. It turned green and he jumped hard and I was caught off guard and I realized it was the Turbo S. We hit the next red light and when it turned green I let out easy to not spin like a maniac and then hammered it at 30mph. He was about 1.5 cars in front then I went WOT to 100mph ... burried him like he was driving a civic by 2-3 bus lengths

NOVA was pretty good for races but is getting worse by the day. Population growth has been 7-10% per year for the last 8-10 years.

About 10-12 years ago I would go out to this one highway strip (rt 28) that was empty, wait for a fast car to drive by, pull out, race him...pretty childish but fun.

Since the roads are not open anymore the only way to get a race is to be first at the light.

I found Long Island to have the most agressive drivers and easy to catch a race...especially the south side near Massepequa, Amityville, Melville, far east side of Nassau county/Sullfok Co.

 

Can you be more specific about where this is. PM me if need be.

 

Famous last words.

Just about everyone that leaves the Kompressor family regrets it.

You'll be back.....(evil laugh) Whoo whoo ahhh ahhhhh......you'll be back.

 

hahahaha, at Jones Beach?
