in all honesty... i occasionally will. but im usually cautios of getting lit up, so ill let off at a reasonable speed.
SE/SXT:
raced a ricy honda hatchback w/ some mods... my fender was at his rear quarterpanel, and stayed there until he missed 3rd.
beat a ford ranger (and got lit up after i was a few carlengths ahead, but luckily no ticket)
used to race my buddy's ZX2 mtx... it was a pretty even race but he would walk a lil
lost to a 4.0cherokee mtx
old style firebird V6, took it by a bit
fairly even race against a V6 camarro (early-mid 90s)
the SRT is a bit more fun, beating out most common cars. i dont recall losing any races in it, but i rarely ever do. the only cars i remember racing from a redlight was a stock stang gt and a turbo cavalier (who was actually pretty quick.). i also spanked a late 90s style eclipse who wanted to rev at me at the stoplight.i have played around with some other cars but it wouldnt have been fair to call it a 'race'... more like catching up with fly-bys. i usually wont race unless provoked. i will, however, race up to about 5 over the speed limit and let off, but tahts it, plus i usually got my kiddies with me.

and i did almost forget, i had a V10 utility van try to race me, cuz he had a V10 i guess he though he could take the peon (yeah, its an SRT but i have no illusions... its still a peon). he started chugging along and i left him for dead by the end of first.

um another favorite race was against a 99 civic ex. dis asian likes to talk smack so i decided to shut him up and called him out. we started at a red light and left him eating smoke. it was funny. after dat he never talked again. well every now and then he still talks **** but a race will shut him up

My first was in my R/T was against a 1992 Civic VX hatch...won by a dozen car lengths or so. My second, was against a 1997 Civic EX coupe with a lot of mods done to it, but I still won by five cars. Then I've beaten the occassional V6 Mustang, some Nissan Sentra's, a bunch of Ford Focus's, a Taurus, more Honda Civics, a new ATX Scion Tc, and thats all I can think of off the top of my head. I used to do a lot when I first got the car, but I havent felt the risk was worth it lately...call it growing up I guess.

I haven't raced much with the neon since i just got it about a month ago. I raced an 05 silverado with a dynomax exhaust, auto. We raced from a light and he got a jump on me and I stayed at his door until 80 when he backed off and so did I. I was surprised to keep up with him, I raced him in my 92 golf when I had that and he walked away from me.

i did forget about one kid....a kid came into work before i had my car turboed....he had a 02 neon r/t...pritty stock, cold air intake and that was it.....he started talking ****, because at the time i had my intercooler mounted, blow off valve in, and just no turbo....work in progress. anyway, i told him that we will have to run him sometime...he told me he would kill me because his was the "r/t" i told him i have beat them before so what makes his so special??? about two weeks later, i saw him on the highway. it was bright yellow, hard to miss...i pulled up next to him, and he looked at me and he roled his eyes......so i flicked him off....haha, i love playing head games

anyway

we came off the line at the same time, both spinning if first....i got the jump on him in second, and started to pull on him....(i love my built cylinder head i forgot to mension) i pushed it into third and cherped the tires, and when i did that, he backed off at about 100mph......he came in the store again one day....and was not a smart ***......lol. we have been pritty good friends since.....lol
