Why are people so hesitant to run stock looking cars?
I have been observing this for a while. Its almost like a S/D graph that is presented in a econ class. With the looks come more runs and more attention.. from cops!
My car looks stock unlike all of my friends, though i have more power than any of them. The funny part is, no matter how hard i try sometimes, i cant get someone to run me. I rarely do try though, only when i want to prove my point.
The best example is when my buddy ran an nsx with his FandFurious Eclipse! THe guy ran him twice, but as soon as i tried, he wouldnt even budge for a second.
Anyone notice the same thing? I can also typically pass by cops with more speed than other modded cars and get away with it, they usually dont even look unless i really do something to get their attention.
(BTW, this is my first post into ramblings, i am not sure if this thread belongs here, but then again i did feel like i am just rambling :killer:

I know what you mean though power. I rarely get anyone to rev at me or anything, and I have the HKS rocket boosters on the ass

Thats why turbos rule. When your at a light, you can rev it up and let them hear the blow-off valve to let them know you're serious. But then they'll probably get scared away.

u should be happy cops dont pay you as much attention. There are ways to instigate people no matter what kind of car you're in.. for example if you see a nice car mashing out, mash out along w/ them... catch up sit side by side with them... look over @ them... then fly away... or cut them off... etc etc etc .... u got a fast ass car dude, its definitely a sleeper... the first time i saw u on the road i noticed the drop and the type S and I could tell you wanted to race me when you were following me through traffic, so just do the same in the future...
