That would be outstanding at the race track, but is it really that macho to "street race"? You may be perfectly happy with your skills, but what about the idiot that you're going down the "STREET" with? And someone on his forum may be thinking the same thing.
I honestly enjoy the power mods, the looks and the noise, but by God if you or the other idiot happens to kill a family of four, what then? I can see "jumping on it" on a strait of deserted road, but to race from light to light in a city or town?
My only hope is that the next time you or others like you do that, a cop will be present. This is a race forum, not a fu#*ing "street race forum".
The "so-called" moderators should pay more attention to you morons, and maybe nobody will get killed. And before you "diss" me, I was a cop for over ten years, and I've seen it all. I got to explain the deaths to the loved ones you assholes killed.

The only street race I participate in (extremely rare) is on SR 128. Farmland, really no side streets, damn near totally straight. A race is over at 60 to me. No sense in going faster, we already know who won.

lol. I do agree that the track is the place to do the racing, but you can't help but jump on it from time to time on the street. But I also agree that the race is over at 60mph max. From light to light isn't too bad because by the time you get to the next light (depending on how far the lights are apart) you normally aren't running too fast, maybe around 50. At least, that's how it is here in Douglasville. But no matter what people's opinions are, when it comes down to it, it's still illegal, and if you get caught, you're going to pay for it. I try to just save it for the track where it's legal. Just my $.02.
is the surmen over?....99% oF street racing never has any problem..and I bet that 1% your saying to yourself....a damn person on a cell phone is a 100 X WORSE!!!

I agree with the cell phone thing. Every person I see on the phone, usually swerving, running reds,and I can't even count the times I have been cut off by someone on the phone.
