    So you're sitting at a stop light and some pesky ricer pulls up next to you. The question is, What do you do?

    1. Turn up the radio, cause his car sounds like cr@p
    2. drop 'er into second
    3. laugh
    4. Stomp on it
    5. Look in your rear view and laugh again

    Got anything to add?

    Do a quick brake stall to get the truck to jump, then he&#39;ll bite.
    Let him take off like a bumble bee, then blow by him. hehehe.

    Actually, I just stay right next to them whether they are racing or just trying to take off a little fast, lol , that usually get thier attention , then they try to race, hahah.

    later,

    I definatly dont put it in second. that gear sucks for me to take off in.
    I usually goose it when the light turns green and see if he bites. if he does than i hammer it, if not I continue on

    what i would do is let him pull on the side of me and then ill give just alittle gas to where he can hear the spacer, so he&#39;ll freak out then.

    I like to give it a half throttle jump. With the AWD there is no spin and the truck really jumps out there...then if I here them getting on it, I punch it all the way. Haven&#39;t lost to one yet but my truck isn&#39;t all that quick....just gets excellent traction.
