    too many variables can go wrong. debris, weather, other cars, etc.

    you traveling at 100+ might not give the average person time to react. it'll also be hard for you to swerve out of the way if say, there's a blown tire, rocks/dust, or any debris in the road.

    i've seen plenty of people who've traveled late at night on the interstates, usually w/ family. all it takes is one mistake on either ends.

    So i watched as he took out a couple peolpe then all of a sudden i see a charger comes out of nowhere flying by me. I was like damn, so my friend kept hitting it but it still wasnt enough. for a minute i saw that my friend hitting it trying to get away but that hemi was too much. he ended up getting arrested. Cop said he clocked him at 132mph in a 55mph zone. so if u plan to run from a charger in dekald on a stock gsr hatch or something else, dont even try cause them state patol hemis aint no joke. unless u a modded corvette, cobra or an import. But HONDA just LET ME DOWN. FU*K 4 CYLINDERS IM getting me a 04 Cobra

    well if you look into it, 4 bangers that are built na run 13's. most built v8's run 10-11 sec 1/4 miles. and with a v8 you arent stressing the motor to get 400hp. a honda would have alot of trouble holding 400hp, before too long the bottom end would probably be roasted unless you spend ridiculous amounts of money for things like a dart block. the power/weight ratio is something but not enough to replace 4 more cylinders...age old argument, I love imports but you cant argue with displacement, basically you cant take 200hp and outrun a hemi lol, thats how that cop caught you

    no exceptions,street racing=idiot

    the level of precautions you take to reduce your chances of problems doesn't prevent the idiocity, just lowers the level of idiocy, but either way you slice it, it's just plain stupid. Hell, I hate to REALLY cause a stir, but being an automotive enthusiast at all has a level of being dumb. Driving enthusiastically adds risk(track or not) and costs more money in fuel, maintenance, and wear and tear. We still do it anywhay, so where to draw the line? Well that's just it. It's just taking your love of speed into a public place with rules normally abided by to deter this enthusiasm to tracks is a whole 'nother level of stupid.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Is it bad that the reason I don't race on the street is because I like MY car way too much instead of thinking of hurting other people haha.

    A. Guy just got killed running from the cops in Warner Robins. He was in a stock black G35 and was running on this curvy ass road with his headlights OFF. He was drunk AND the roads were wet. Couldnt take a curve and hit a HOUSE, died the next morning. Im not gonna lie, i've ran before, but not high speed im speed away from the cops. When I run, its cut through a neighborhood and know my miata handles better, usually not going over 50.

    B. If you run, and you get caught, its not messed up. You take the risk of running. You feel you have a better chance of getting away then you getting caught. Your frend was wrong. Get over it.

    So you mean running from the cops on a bike is not a good idea?



    Or do you mean you should have just taken a different off ramp

    I dont believe that a Turbo 750 can hit 198. You're talking about a volvo?

    It'd take about 500WHP to do that.

    Edit: Unless its a 750cc turbo motorcycle?
