Default What cars ALWAYS seem to want to race?

Its spring, the streets are drying (Indiana) and it seems that at every turn there is someone who wants to see how we run...

What are the top five cars or so that seem to always be itching for a beating:

1) Pontiac Aurora (must be the older guys with a bit of HP)
2) Camaros/Firebirds (as always)
3) Preludes (cause for just a few $ more)
4) The plethora of modded Hondas and PT Cruisers
5) "Stangs (again, as always)

Don't know who said it here, but the best advise I've had is "Know who/what you're up against"...IE I give Z06's their due!

Yours?

For some reason that I can't fathom, guys in older Thunderbirds all seem to want to race. As far as I can tell, they're mostly stock. I don't pretend to have a reason to explain it. I find it funny, though. I don't bother running them very often. Determining how many car lengths they fall back gets difficult. I'm also not saying there are no fast ones out there...I just haven't run across any.

Mustangs big time. Ricers usually know it's a waste of gas for me and leave me alone Funny you mentioned PT Cruiser because i've noticed they all seem to think their car is fast or something.

I'm actually bummed that a lot of people know the car is fast and won't go (few Boxsters and older 911s to name a few). I tend to have more fun in my daily driver GSR.

Not many people wanna run me. I think the ET Streets kinda intimidate them.
