i give it the beans now and then....but i do it with just me alone, not against somebody. After all, that would classify it as a race ;)

There's a difference between street racing and giving it the beans now and again.

Fair enough. I'm just getting irascible with our emerging overcriminalized, hyper-safety culture.

Honda Odyssee and I lost!

It doesn't look that way to the families of innocent bystanders killed by street racers. Public roads are NOT designed for racing.

Yeah save it for the track where I go. I've logged 500 hours of track days and still get a rush and learn something new.

Unfortunately, it is the immature children in their rice-rockets and Fast 'n Furious looking cars who have created a situation where racing has been elevated to a felony in a lot of situations with severe consequences.
I have no problem if you are alone on a stretch of road with good visibility (not a residential or business street) but out in the middle of nothing, enjoying your car and what it can do. Unfortunately, a lot of people think neighborhoods is the place for that. |

Back when I was on E90post (the BMW forum), we'd get these types of threads, and people would post their street racing stories, and the other 20-somethings would chime in, "awesome brah!." So this is a refreshing change.

Ferrari 458 passed me on I 70 in springfield,oh doing about 150 but I didn't know we were racing. Sounded like I was sitting on his engine.

Street racing makes no sense and my 2011 C2S is not made for this insanity. However, my modified Nissan GTR is. With 725 whp, that car attracts constant attention.

Do what I do. I pick up my phone and pretend to be really involved in a deep conversation.

had a guy in an RX-8 tailgating me, after he was next to me revving all day and night to race. Since he wouldn't get off my ass, despite the fast lane being open; I lowered my spoiler, and emptied the headlight washer fluid on him doing 70mph. He was all over the lane and had his wipers on full.
