Well here's how i do it.....

When a honda pulls up to you, at a light or something, just sit there and wait. Then glance over at him. Did he make eye contact? If yes just continue to ignore. If it sounded like someone just started a lawn mower, after you made eye contact, that was him reving his 4 banger. At this point i like to roll down the passenger window and say.. "Sure, i'll have the chicken fried rice, and one fortune cookie please"
That usally gets em goin', and then i kick their @$$ ! Hope that helps, try it!;) Later

Mods.......yup!

I useually try and pace people from a red light, to get their attention. That usualy gets people who will run lean into it.

Step 1: Get an exhaust
Step 2: Lower your truck

I am not kidding when I say that within the first week of lowering my truck, everything beside me was racing me, whether I knew it or not.

Step 3: A racing stripe! Haha, I have heard these make people more inclined to race you. Funny.


Oh yeah, once you get that exhaust, don't forget to rev!

Im gettin ready to do the exhaust in spring of next year. Most likely will go with full length since thats all they make for the 91 unless a set of shorty's will work from the 92 with the stock 92 Y-pipe but nobody can tell me if it will. They say the frame between the 91 and 92 are different but i dont see how that is considering that they are the exact same body style the only difference is the motor pre mag and the magnum sorry i went off subject

Lower your truck, put some wider than stock rubbers on it, a cover, and exhaust. Hell I get these Germans all the time that want to race me on the AutoBahn. I know that most of their cars will dog my ass in the final few miles per hour, but my acceleration is so much better than most of theirs, that it gets them scared as hell once we start going. But they calm down when we hit about 130 to 135 and they realize that they can catch back up and pass me. Most of these runs are 70 to 80 mph 4th gear roll ons. I do feel good about the Germans here though, win or loose they believe in the thumbs up, because they have never seen a 135 mph truck.
