Navigation: Saints Row Guide > Activities > Street Racing
Just what it says. You will start off racing against some number of other cars and have to make your way through checkpoints (represented by a line of fire between flaming barrels in the road, pretty cool) scattered around the city. Sometimes you will be doing laps and other times it's just a race to a particular place on the map.
The car you pick for this activity is going to determine how difficult the race is. You might think faster is better, but keep in mind, the competition is going to be getting a similar car to whatever you are driving (sedan, sports car, SUV, and so on). So your best bet is to find a nice strong car, that has a decent speed for the class it is in, and is one you are comfortable you can control well. If you find yourself missing checkpoints and turns, go find a car that handles better. If you are too slow compared to the competition, go find a car in a different class (or the same class that is a bit faster). If you are having a lot of trouble getting past a certain race, you can always go to Rim Jobs and have some Nitrous installed (assuming the race has a nice straight-away where you can effectively use it).
Personally, I like the FBI car for these. It is fast, strong, and handles pretty well. On the downside, getting one can be a bit tricky. You'll have to accumulate a 5 star wanted level from the police, grab the vehicle, and either dump it in your garage or run over to the Forgive and Forget before it gets toasted. In any event, once you have it, make sure to store it in your garage for future street racing use.
The location of this activity moves around depending on what level you are running. Here is where you can find them. Note that the first location is where the icon will appear if you are not currently on the activity, and the second is where the actual starting line is (and where the icon will appear when you are on the activity).
