You can sugarcoat this all you want!! But this is still Street Racing!! A very good friend of mine died doing the same thing, trying to keep up and push another car faster.

Save it for the track, and keep your bragging off the Forum......................

Neat story ~ young hot girl in a Corvette ~ but I've got to agree, street racing is street racing and it's a no-go.

I got sucked into a bravado run just last weekend in my Z. A new mustang rolled up on me and bliped his throttle while I was cruising home on a four lane highway. I jumped on it, knew better but I did. I caught him and pulled away easy and then shut her down, back to the speed limit. Sure enough here he comes again. I suspected he was trying to set me up and might hit a bottle this time but I took the bait and hammered my Z again. Continued to pull away when I glanced at the HUD and realized how fast I was going on an undivided highway, lots of cross-over turns, not safe at all. I got off the throttle and let the fool go. Hope he went home and told all his buddies how he beat my Z but I know common sense won this one.

Oh, IBTL!
