I dont know what it is but it always seems like I'm losing races against cars i should be beating hands down. For instance, before i was going through this village by main street in town which turns into 2 lanes and was being tailgated by a SAAB 9-3 aero all the way. once it broke into 2 lanes i shifted into second at about 35mph and waited for him to make his move and then i floored it. . . .he still beat me even though i was waiting for his move. Same thing happened when my friend in his v6 sonata raced me on the way to the gym I dunno if its the fact that im technically getting the ricer fly-by, and they have their momentum going by the time theyre next to me but its just annoying as hell. . . any suggestions?

Don't get tempted to street race. Not worth losing the car over a Hyundai

I think your car is just slow. Please refrain from racing, you're making the rest of us look bad

lol jk, street racing is bad though :Track:
