    The only bad thing will be the slicks if it rains but you can always pull over and chill while the rain goes away...

    I saw him pulling in and it looked ok to me, maybe is matter of personal opinion....
    So have I, however I can't remember the last time I got over 80mph on any highway. After a couple track days I just can't find the point or the excitement in speeding around on surface streets.

    BUT... That would take what he did to another level of stupidity. First off he drives a race car that can barely navigate the streets, he has to power slide into parking spaces and now you want to challenge him to a couple of highway pulls?

    Stupidity or your ignorance.... dont take it personal.

    There are many road courses around the world that are streets in a close city, or a close airport. Witch none of those are flat and smoth like RA. A goog driver knows that there are different grips in different areas of a track so driving in the interestate is a piece of cake... Some day you will understand this.

    Not a challange more of having fun with our toys....

    You sir will be lap whenever you get to do some wheel to wheel racing... ppl like us can not get rip of the need for going fast with a race weekend... after a race weekend I could go for some st racing but I have to calm down and do it some other time....

    Going fast in the city is awesome, but you have to know what you are doing, a couple of driving schools will not get you ready for it... If I have to compare it to anything it will be with Rally, if you ever do rally you will know what I mean. Not knowing what turn is coming or what line to take.. pure adrenaline nothing less.
