Default Racing Tips

Ok, so like a car comes up next to you and you know he wants to race you...first of all, how do I know if his car will beat mine? He had a brand new mustang gt, it had 2 tale pipes coming out the back. Will his car beat mine or visa versa. Second of all...how fast do you go before you shift into each gear if you do race? I dont wanna lose to some a'hole so I never try! Need some input here please.

well if you wanna luanch, clutch it, rev to 5500 then go and your car will peel out with a fast start, then just switch like normal at 8500-8700 rpm, if your good at shiftin then try 9000 shift. with that you should do good. if he beats you then his car is just to fast.

First off, You don't know if the other person's car is faster than you. You can only guess based on what you already know about the car's specifications and whether or not you think it's modified.

Second, It's not about how fast you are going before you shift into the next gear, it's about the RPMs. When you get to 9,000 RPMs, shift to the next gear and do this ---> ..... of course the comes standard with the 9k RPMs.

Don't even think about it on the streets Tami...you're asking to have your car confiscated, lose your license and possibly crash, killing yourself or someone else. Take it to the track...
