Default Itching for a race!

Man, ive had my car since mid feb and i have yet for someone to line up against me. I really want to see what my F can do. I live in south jersey and i always see hooked up cars around but i am never lucky enough for them to be on my side of the road as me. Obviously ive had my share of "stock"(hyundai optima) cars trying to race but im not going to waste my time. I find it hard to believe that people would be that afraid to race the F. Yes, it looks very aggressive and has a big V8 with 400hp, But 400hp isnt much these days. i feel like the norm is 350-400whp out of alot of cars in this day and age.

Might want to read this thread before posting anything about street encounters on Club Lexus.

This post isnt based on street encounters due to me not having any besides the hyundai. Just want other members opinions on if they feel like other ppl are afraid to go up against our F's.

I'm not going to tell you what to post. I will have to close the thread if it turns into a street racing discussion, or we have posts about "kills."

You should hit up this place if you want to see what your F is really capable of.

It's usually the opposite of being afraid, people see the quad pipes and the F badging and they bite... and end up getting surprised when they lose to a Lexus...
